The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Man and it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Hi, if your comedy news for you, Kevin Hart is supporting the Eagles. Today he went on TikTok and make it how clear he is supporting the Eagles. Here’s Kevin.
All right, people, the big game is coming up, so you already know how I’m celebrating correctly with that Mino Lino grand cormno on debt. But before I get into how I’m celebrating, I want to tell you why. Because I work hard, and I believe when you work hard, you should treat yourself. And that’s exactly what I did.
And then Jail I spourged a little bit.
I would have brought an eagle show it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I bought that sixteen point five mil cash. I’m the only black man with an eagle doing Black history money. And because it’s the wild animal, he came with it, that’s right. So he lives here for two months till he get used to me.
I name the eagle Jailing Hurts. Jailing got a big game coming up? Baby, you’re ready? Hey? When I say fly, eagles fly, can he take a lap on a house?
Hopefully, it’s a bit and he hasn’t actually bought an Eagle.
Meanwhile, on the chief side, Jason Sadikis is a known Chiefs super fan.
He said, Kansas City is part of my soul. It’s where I’m from, It’s where I was raised, It’s where my folks live, where a lot of good and bad things have happened to me and many other people. His advice for the Chiefs more ice baths. Some other notable fans, Rob Riggle is a Chiefs fan. He grew up in Kansas, graduated from University of Kansas ninety two, and said, I’m a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan.
These are the greatest days of my life. Everybody’s excited, right, I know the Eagles fans are excited. Philly fans have really embraced their underdogs status. You’ve all seen the dog masks that these guys are wearing. Kind of intimidating, but you know it’s scarier than barking dogs.
Regular Eagles fans Macpacker and Henry Winkler is a big fan of Patrick Mahomes. Winkler says he roots for the Chiefs even though I’ve never lived there, but specifically because of Patrick Mahomes. He even got starstruck. He said he was thrilled out of his mind and meet Patrick Mahomes for the first time ahead of game in November. Let’s take a look at the commercials Jeff Ross will be roasting at mister Peanut.
This is Planter’s Super Bowl ad today. When Jeff Ross was asked to do it, he said, I immediately started reading all the research I could find on mister Peanut. I went to his Wikipedia, I went to the Planter side. I watched all his older Super Bowl commercials. I had some conversations with him and learned everything I could so that could roast him as an expert, not just as a fan of his peanuts, but also somebody who I admire.
Time out, didn’t mister Peanut die like two, three, five years ago and the person that is now alive is the baby mister Peanut all growing up? So is Jeff Ross roasting a toddler here that I lose the continuity? Does it matter? Johnny McK and you just watch a commercial and go with the joke that Jeff Ross is roasting a peanut. Why do you have to over analyze everything?
Great question, listener, Jeff Ross said, mister Peanut is an American legend. He got us through the Great Depression. No he didn’t. That was the original mister Peanut. This is a new mister Peanut.
I saw the commercial. The guy died. In twenty twenty. Mister Pet, iconic Planter’s mascot dies at one hundred and four. Peanut, who lived out the entirety of his years as the mascot of the Planters Snack Food Company, has died.
The iconic brand ambassador died heroically sacrificing himself to save his friends, Wesley Snipes and Matt Walsh. The trio were driving down a desert road and mister peanuts signature vehicle, the Nutmobile, when mister Peanuts swerves to avoid an armazillo sent them off, flying from the car and they ended up dangling from a branch. Mister Peanut chose to let go of the branch, plummeting into the canyon below to let his companions live. Mister Peanut full name Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald Smith, was born in nineteen sixteen when schoolboy and Tonio Ginzilly submitted his design for an anthropomorphic peanut mascot to planters. But wait, there’s more.
In a different commercial, Wesley Snipes is speaking at mister Peanut’s funeral, which is attended by the likes of Mister Clean and the kool aid Man. The kool aid Man sheds a tear which causes a plant to immediately sprout and a baby, Mister Peanut is born. The baby says, just kidding, I’m back, where’s my monocle? So? Is this like a search for a spock thing?
Is this the original mister Peanut reborn? Johnny Mack, Why can’t you just accept that Jeff Ross is roasting mister Peanut and that’s the joke. Why do you have to do this? I don’t know. Jeff Ross said, mister Peanut is an American legend.
He got us through the Great Depression. He’s a cheap snack during tough times. Wait, so is mister Peanut like one hundred and six years old? Jeff Ross said, I had some conversations with him and learned everything I could so I could roast him as an expert, not just a fan of his peanuts, but also somebody admire he got us do the Great Depression. He’s a cheap snack during tough times, and I wanted to honor him in the best way I could with well crafted, roasted jokes.
When you roast someone like mister Peanut, who’s been around a hundred six years, I think the best way to do it is backhanded compliments. You don’t want it to be mean spirited. You want to kind of make them feel good. He’s a hundred and six years old, almost old enough to run for Congress. I wanted to feel like the jokes are the kind of thing where him, his family, and his friends could repeat them after the roast.
I didn’t want them to feel hurt by the jokes, but lifted up by the jokes. Jeff Ross spoke about the current state of comedy with Fox News, and he said I thought people might get more sensitive over the years. During the pandemic, I was honestly worried is roasting over? Are people too sensitive?
And then as things open back up, I got in the clubs that are realized Nope.
People still love seeing their idols get taken down a notch. They love to see people they admire or laugh at themselves. Nobody wants the roast water down. They want their roast potent. They want their comedy rights to the gut, and I think roasting speaks of that.
Specifically. We all evolve as human beings. No one kind of talks about the world the way we did ten twenty years ago. So I evolve like everyone else, and my comedy evolves like everyone else. But to be honest with you, comedy is almost like a vaccine for your brain.
It protects you from mental health worries. It’s a real medicine. It sounds corny, but it really can’t lift people up. Another commercial will start the aforementioned Kevin Hart, who said, we got to tap into some relationships, big cameos and hit the button on the head with messaging while giving an air stream amount of personality and fun to what I think is going to be a truly unique spot during the super Bowl. The commercial includes some folks like Tony Hawk, David Orts, He’s Doctor Jay, the Undertaker, Emmitt Smith, Ludacris.
How do you get all these people? He said, It’s a business of relationships and how you nurture and carry and treat them throughout the years. I prioritize them and when I call, they respond. That’s something that I’d take an extreme amount of pride end Johnny Mack will speculate and somebody got paid to be in a Super Bowl ad. That’s also entirely possible.
It’s equally possible that, you know, doctor Jay is just doing it because he’s cool like that. But maybe he got paid to be in the ad. Who knows, really, Kevin Art said, I think people are going to be blown away. They’re great cameos. There’s a great reason for those cameos to be in the spot.
My fingers are crossed, all superstition is kicked in. I would love to come home with another win. Kevin Art seems to think he’s on the Eagles, and he said that would put me on cloud nine. Yet a different commercial star Will Ferrell. He drives different electric vehicles through different Netflix shows, including Bridgerton and Stranger Things.
This to announce Netflix will feature electric vehicles and its original shows. The Will Ferrell spots in the past have bombed and reading that description, I don’t know, well, but you know, maybe we’ll got paid or maybe just did a Super Bowl commercial because he’s cool like that. Who knows. Hellman’s Mayonnaise is back for the third consecutive year. This one make Taste not Waste any commercial.
Pete Davidson looks into his refrigerator and he finds ham and Brie. That’s John Hamm and Alison Bree. In case you don’t get the joke, ham and Brie is a play on meats and cheese. Anyway, Hammon Brie are next to some mayonnaise, which is referred to as food’s best friend. The viewers then encouraged to make taste not waste by using mayonnaise to bring leftovers to life.
I’m not a big Mail fan, and if I have to put mayo on something to eat it us is not working for me, but I like Pete Davidson and John Hamm and Alison Bree. Sure. Amy Schumer will be in an ad for the Google Phone that adds spotlights the phones impressive AI imaging eraser technology. In the commercial, Amy Schumer magic erases her exes. Dan McBride will do a spot for Downey where he wants to go by Downey McBride and Greg Gutfeld declares he’s the new King of Late Night.
YEP. Fox is using one of their in house spots to promote Guttfeld during the Big Game fifteen second spot winning eleven o’clock show, That’s tagline to Clara’s Gutfeld, The New King of Late Nights and from the Athletic You’re Home for Comedy News Dean Blandino’s fascinating rise from stand up comedy to rulebook guru. You know this guy. When there’s a penalty, they bring them on. They’re like, hey, Dean, what’s going on there?
And he explains what the rules are. You’ve seen this, You’ve watched football, you know what I’m talking about here. He used to be a comedian during the nineteen nineties. He had a bit about Monopoly, said that was one of my comedy bits about growing up in the family would get together and play Monopoly, five hour long games. Monopoly controversy.
My grandmother was charging too much rent, trying to steal money from the bank. Mike Pereira, another one of those NFL officiating TV personalities, said the routine was hilarious. I must say I had a different opinion of his grandmother after I watched his routine. Blendino said, would play from the beginning when you have to buy the properties, and after about an hour I was done. Most of my family loved it and I’d just be sitting there right this vision of just losing and at some point freaking out, knocking the board off the table, screaming up my grandmother.
They didn’t want to play anymore. His comedic influences where Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy and Red Fox. He said, there are comics and go out and not curse and be really entertaining. That wasn’t me necessarily, but I wasn’t like F this, F that. Obviously with some of the influences that I have, they were more the adult style humor.
I don’t know what kind of style that was, but those are just some of the people that influenced me. Moose Johnston said, can you imagine Dean dropping a little George Carlin and Red Fox during a rules description? That’d be tremendous. I agree, go for it. Do it during the super Bowl.
People will love you. Being on TV. He has to be quick on his feet, much like stand up, Dean said, especially if you get interaction with the crowd, maybe it’s a heckler. You got to be quick thinking. But also it’s the delivery, the timing.
With TV, it’s the same thing. You gotta be in and out. You have to deliver it well. You gotta be able to articulate a lot of leads to success in stand up. It also leads to success on TV.
And this final. As I was putting together the show, I googled Comedy super Bowl. I found this thing on the TCM Turner Classic Movies website. This from nineteen seventy one Super Comedy Bowl. Lucille Ball is your host.
Among the cast Carol Burnett, all Right, Charlton Heston, Artie Johnson, and Jack Lemon. I couldn’t find anything else about it, and I looked. All I have for you is a description a comedy special poking fun at the Super Bowl. It’s fans and it’s players, and there was a sequel the following year. Not your comedy news for today.
