New Brady commerical

That he drops Edelman off his fantasy team when he is using the phone is cool.

edit: He adds Edelman, my mistake, but has Bell at RB over Blount.

He has really improved his acting . Much more natural in front of the camera. That's one area in which Aaron Rodgers does not excel, incidentally.

Nice ad... I'm just glad he's not holding a goat.

Not taking anything away from Brady in this spot, which I like, but I actually think that Rodgers' commercials are humorous, "remember-able" and often engaging because they are virtually always self-deprecating.

Nice. Best Brady commercial since the "Walk through the Team Bus" one.

Actually, those are the only two that don't make me cringe.

LOL, thanks, I forgot that one!

Good stuff. He's actually a pretty good actor now.

Actually, that is true, he does do the self-deprecating thing and its nice. But he is so awkward I usually end up face palming during the commercials instead of enjoying them.

Agreed. But, enjoyable or not, they're funny and I remember "Discount Double Check" and the retake of the old SNL "Pump you up" bit. So, "Aaron Rodgers" = "State Farm" = Successful ads.

I'm with you, but he is remarkably good in this one!

I meant Rodgers is awkward. Brady is much better and he is awesome in this one.

Gotcha.

Actually, I HAVE always thought Brady stunk as an actor - - the SNL thing was hideous to watch and many of his commercials (the speaking ones - - hence, in the previous best ones for UGGS, he doesn't say a word) are downright uncomfortable.

He must have gotten some intensive acting/comedy training here, because he nails this one - - almost like he was drawing on the actor in the DraftKings commercial.

Very funny one of the best commericals I have seen in a long time.

Brady has done some really funny skits recently that weren't commercials... I think he did a couple for Funny or Die that were hilarious. Look up "Brady funny or die" and you'll probably find a few good ones. They were within the last year or two I believe.

But agreed, this one is one of the best. "Telemarketing is a pretty cool job", just the first line in the way he said it had me laughing.

Screw Rodgers and State Farm, but I am not ready to brag about his acting ability is better than Rodgers. Acting ability is the last bastion of Peyton apologists and I refuse to be like them.

To be fair, it's the one area that Manning wins, hands down. No reason to deny him those small victories.
