Tremendous Bowl LIX has come and gone, and a few would doubtless argue that it wasn’t essentially the most aggressive sport. The Philadelphia Eagles took on the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs, and the previous crew received off to a robust begin and largely dominated all night. On the evening of the sport, someday after the Eagles’ 40-22 victory, Nike launched a video centered across the crew, and it concerned Kermit the Frog. Quite a lot of followers are actually praising the clip, whereas others appear to be speaking about being a way to troll Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The commercial, which was shared on X and different social media platforms, was produced as a way of celebrating the Eagles’ SB win and the season that preceded it. Footage of the crew’s ups and downs are chronicled within the minute-long TV spot. And taking part in over the clip package deal is “Bein’ Inexperienced,” carried out by Kermit the Frog. You possibly can take a look at the video for your self within the publish under:
Because the caption states, it actually is sweet to be inexperienced now, contemplating the Philadelphia-based crew managed to clinch one other championship. In relation to the smattering of Tremendous Bowl LIX commercials, I’d say that this is among the extra refined ones to hit the airwaves this 12 months. Followers on social media appear to love it as effectively, with some praising the way it’s put collectively. What’s notably humorous, although, is that quite a few commenters are additionally mentioning Patrick Mahomes in reference to the industrial’s narrator:
- They received Mahomes to relate too? – @ChaosChrisPHL
- The Kermit voiceover is intelligent iykyk – @callmec0ry
- Wonderful they received Mahomes to sing the track on this industrial celebrating his opponent. – @regulatorynerd
- How’d they get Pat to relate this? Wow. – @AlecDWarren
- They received Mahomes singing proper after the L? Thats loopy 😂 – @Samurai_black92
- How did they get Patrick Mahomes to sing this? – @vestedmeme
On the floor, one may argue that the inclusion of Kermit the Frog’s track may merely be a reference to the truth that a crew that has inexperienced jerseys simply gained the Tremendous Bowl. Nonetheless, it’s additionally lengthy been joked that the aforementioned QB’s voice feels like that of the enduring Muppet. Nike, in fact, hasn’t confirmed whether or not or not that’s actually the case, however it could seem that followers are undoubtedly working with it.
The Muppets franchise has seen cancellations and different setbacks lately, however the characters do nonetheless stay beloved staples of popular culture in some circles. Quite a lot of celebrities additionally maintain a smooth spot for Jim Henson’s hilariously candy creations. Danny Trejo even grew to become emotional whereas filming with Kermit shortly after his personal mom’s loss of life. So there’s nonetheless lots of love for the characters, although NFL followers’ feedback appear to exude extra shade than sentiment.
At this level, Patrick Mahomes has been trolled on various events. As an illustration, in 2021, Twitter had jokes after his Tremendous Bowl barber caught COVID shortly earlier than the acclaimed soccer participant’s haircut. Announcers additionally got here for Mahomes after he botched a spike throughout the AFC Championship sport this 12 months. Even his spouse, Brittany Mahomes, trolled him after he sported crocs throughout a elaborate photoshoot.
Patrick Mahomes appears to take all the critiques in stride, and it’s doubtless that they’ll proceed amid a lot of the offseason. The Eagles did certainly thrash the Chiefs, and followers aren’t going to overlook it, due to the sport itself, the Nike advert and extra. And, if I’m being trustworthy, I’d like to see Mahomes tackle the trolling head on by collaborating with the Jim Henson Firm on some type of manufacturing that pairs him with Kermit.
