I've posted a few commercials lately that I have found to be ridiculously funny. As of late, a theme within these commercials has begun to emerge. There is one NFL team that has a few players that are putting themselves in the public eye by way of humorous advertisements, while not excluding themselves from their own jokes. To me, that's the true test of comedy: if you can't laugh at yourself, you shouldn't be joking on anyone else. The most popular players on the Green Bay Packers have successfully passed that test. Many of you have seen these ads already, but if you're like me, you could always watch them for a good quick laugh.
The first is quarterback Aaron Rodgers doing a commercial for State Farm Insurance:
Next is wide receiver Greg Jennings on an Old Spice ad:
...and another:
Finally, linebacker Clay Matthews does a commercial for Fathead:
I can only imagine what that locker room is like. There are probably non-stop jokes, pranks and an overall fun and entertaining atmosphere, which is how it should be. It's pretty refreshing to know that these men haven't let the game of football get to their heads. Sure, money and fame are great motivators in endorsement deals, but at least they're enjoying themselves in the process.
That is all.
