00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.759
Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news and
3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.560
daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians, the comedy industry,
4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.640
a freeze which helps the elder the room. Today is
5
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:22.199
the super Bowl preview episode. One topic that seems to
6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.359
come up every year is, hey, they ought to let
7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.879
a comedian do super Bowl halftime. Now I don't think
8
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.559
that will ever happen, but let's say it did. Who
9
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.200
should play super Bowl halftime? Now, my vote, which I
10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.719
think will be awesome, will never ever happen because he's
11
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.759
not quote unquote cool enough. Is weird Al. But I
12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.799
do think if they named weird Al and everybody went
13
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.039
in on it, and there would definitely be ways to
14
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.280
work in non comedic musicians to a weird Al halftime.
15
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.840
But can you imagine how epic that would be? And
16
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.479
it would just be fun and weird Al would be
17
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.039
great to be put in front of the press and
18
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.320
there are no weird Al scandals and nothing horrible is
19
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.240
gonna happen, and everyone could just have a good time
20
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.200
and he could play eat It and white Nerdy and
21
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.280
we could have a good time. But that's not going
22
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.319
to happen. Another name that comes up, and this may
23
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.680
surprise you that I don't think it's crazy, would be
24
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.640
Adam Sandler. People really like Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler has
25
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.400
no known enemies except possibly me, and even I like
26
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.840
Adam Sandler. I just don't think his comedy is funny,
27
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.159
but people like those dumb songs. He could come out
28
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.280
and do some opera man or make up a super
29
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.680
Bowl song and do that Farley song. And I'm sure
30
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.519
Sandler could do some sort of musical thing at halftime
31
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.359
that people would enjoy. Another name that I think is
32
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.519
interesting Dave Chappelle. Now that would be edgier. Also, these
33
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.640
things tend to be pre recorded, so I don't think
34
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.120
you could have Dave Chappelle pantomiming previously recorded stand ups.
35
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.359
So you would have Chappelle with a live mic in
36
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.040
the middle of a super Bowl. Who knows what would happen.
37
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.159
But Chappelle is also friendly with several cool musicians, so
38
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.439
I think there's a way to somehow do a Dave
39
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.920
Chappelle halftime that would certainly get talked about. And another
40
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.120
name I saw this week that I don't think is exciting,
41
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.640
but maybe America would get behind Nate for Forghetsie halftime,
42
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.760
but his particular energy. I don't know if that works
43
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.199
for super Bowl halftime. That might just be weirdly awkward
44
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.439
and set us back fifty years ever having a comedian
45
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.360
at halftime again. If Bad Bunny is not your thing,
46
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.719
get over yourself, but you can change the channel turning point.
47
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.680
USA is going to have an alternative to the super
48
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.120
Bowl halftime. It's called the All American Halftime Show. On
49
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.039
The Daily Show, Michael Costa joked that only the radical
50
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.439
wol communists who hate America are excited to watch a
51
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.680
performance by the most popular musician in America, Bad Bunny.
52
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.800
Stephen Colbert said, according to the press release, the show
53
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.879
is called the All American Halftime Show and a font
54
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:42.719
that is called T shirt on a quite angry dad
55
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.879
at Disney World. Colbert had some fun with the names
56
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.159
of the musicians. Steven said, as you may have noticed
57
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.240
from the poster, Kid Rock is not rocking this one alone.
58
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.120
He'll be joined by country singers Brentley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett,
59
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.560
and Lee Brice powerhouse lineup. He'd tagged that with also
60
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.840
appearing our a Gary Lee Grant Ghibli, Brantlett, Daily, Barrett Tandley, Brakeboard,
61
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.680
Billy Giddy, and Baby. Bilbo Costa said, man, that's a
62
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.400
real who's who of who. Golbert Russel joked where you
63
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.599
could watch the alternative halftime show. He said it would
64
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.919
be on TBNDW Plus Charge and Rumble, which are real platforms.
65
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.560
He also said Crunch, Cramble, Hunkle, Krompus and Paramount plus.
66
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.479
I Spot did some research of the fifteen Super Bowl
67
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.360
ad previews that they researched. Twelve triggered quote funny reactions
68
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.479
from viewers. Spoilers for the commercials coming up right, So
69
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.439
the rest of this episode, I'm gonna spoil the commercials.
70
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.560
So if you're like John, you ruined the super Bowl
71
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:39.879
for me? Okay, you should punch out and I'll catch
72
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.000
up with you tomorrow. Everybody else who's still here spoiler.
73
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.240
The highest funny score went to the commercial four Instacart
74
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.199
that features Ben Stiller. They have a musical performance about
75
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.240
choosing the perfect banana mac packer. Andy Samberg will be
76
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.159
meal Diamond in a Hellman's commercial. We'll talk about that.
77
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.039
Some more fanatics who had a terror terrible week on
78
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.360
the Internet, people notice that fanatic sports jerseys aren't the
79
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.719
best quality. A lot of complaining, especially on Twitter. This
80
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.199
week they have an ad with a candle jinner mocking
81
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.319
the Kardashian curse, the Internet conspiracy, the dating members of
82
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.079
the family, ruins an athletes game. Novardes has an ad
83
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.000
with NFL players telling viewers to relax your tight end
84
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.639
and get a blood test for prostate cancer. I see
85
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.439
what you did there. Marcelo Hernandez, he does one thing,
86
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.319
and he does one thing really well. We'll see if
87
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.439
he could do another thing. Well. He'll be in an
88
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:37.360
ad for Wells Fargo. Their new campaign is celebrating every win.
89
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.480
We're told that showcases how the banking app helps customers
90
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.079
achieve personal finance. Blah blah blah blah blah. We are
91
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.360
told Marcelo Hernandez brings humor and authenticity as he pays
92
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.319
tribute to everyday financial wins like growing savings or sticking
93
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.160
to a budget. Marcello shows up complete with confetti, music
94
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.920
and dancing. His comedic presence reinforces the message the success
95
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.480
looks different for everyone. Another macpacker, Keag and Michael Key.
96
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.199
He'll be with Dyana McBride In an ad Keagan Michael
97
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.319
Key told USA Today someone said a long time ago,
98
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.639
generality is the enemy of all art, and that specifically
99
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.720
is what makes art good. The challenges how to do
100
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.560
something specific that is universal. At the same time, I
101
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:18.079
feel like he just said a lot of words that
102
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.720
I love. Key, He continued, it sounds like they're diametrically opposed,
103
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.279
these two concepts, but that's very often what people out
104
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.480
an ad agency have to do. How do you reach
105
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.720
the most amount of people with the most interesting, most
106
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:33.040
salient material possible. I embrace that challenge. In the ad,
107
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.879
he and Danny McBride are insurance agents, hoping to reassure
108
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.839
Haley Stanfield that their insurance agency is on the level.
109
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.680
In the commercial, they launch into a rendition of John
110
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.879
bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer. Key says, it's working
111
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.279
multi generationally because you're talking about anathem. Everybody knows it's
112
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.199
a perfect song, because it's one of the few songs
113
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.160
where everybody in our society knows the song. Keag and
114
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.639
Michael Key calls Jake from State Form one of the
115
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.519
most iconic figures in the ad space. I guess that's true.
116
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.759
But I don't know, so was Jared, and we don't
117
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.879
want to go there. Don't go there, John, Okay, move along, Okay,
118
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.560
I'll keep going, he said. I'm excited. I'm nervous, but
119
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.959
I have to tell you I feel very confident about
120
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.279
this piece of content. Matt Kacker Andy Samberg teamed up
121
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.639
with Helman's Samberg breaks apart Sweet Caroline to build a
122
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.279
mythology of Meal Diamond. Meal Diamond is a man born
123
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.000
in a deli who communicates almost entirely through sandwiches. Samberg
124
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.800
said he build out the character. He said, we were
125
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.920
weird aling ed, as they say, it takes a real
126
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.639
skill to do it in a way that it's actually funny.
127
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.560
For me on this one, it was finding a way
128
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.519
to make it a different character who had his own
129
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.000
life backstory. The joke started with just the name Meal Diamond,
130
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.439
Samberg turned it into a fully fledged person. He explains,
131
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.399
we're essentially dealing with someone who was born in a
132
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.560
deli and has never left it and is therefore using the
133
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.199
joy and love of sandwiches to reach out to connect
134
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.639
with people. It paints a nice picture of this character.
135
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.720
The Kiva Schaeffer helped out on it, Samberg says, the
136
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.560
process we usually have is to start with the premise,
137
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.439
then you start recording. You see if it's making you laugh.
138
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.759
If not, you bail and you try something different. Some
139
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.639
line stuck immediately. Sandberg said, I love the line I'll
140
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.879
squirt you while I'm walking by. That made me laugh
141
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.800
the most. I'm intrigued. Now let me see if this
142
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.600
is online already as I record on Friday. Oh, I
143
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:19.480
think I found it.
144
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.319
I was born in this Delai. My best friend was
145
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:38.639
that boloney. That is until live bad you touching Ham,
146
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.560
touching Gee, touching.
147
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:51.680
You sandwich time many so cool.
148
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:54.560
This is how I make friends.
149
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.800
I'm get mad.
150
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:05.480
I live in the wall sometimes wonder my favorites. I've
151
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:12.560
never been outside. These are my only clothes. So good?
152
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:15.399
Can you marry me?
153
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.879
The carts is broken and I can leave?
154
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:17.839
Thank you?
155
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.160
Yes?
156
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.920
Oh my goodness, that is so epic. I was sitting
157
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.040
here capturing the audio with a big smile on my face.
158
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.439
I almost wanted to like talk as I recorded it.
159
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.279
I love that so much. That is so catchy. We
160
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.320
may have to play that a second time at the end. Wow,
161
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.960
so much fun, Sandberg said, I hope they just smile
162
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.879
or laugh. You got it, buddy, That's pretty much my
163
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.879
goal with almost everything I work on, says Andy. Even
164
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.960
just a giggler smirk, I'd settle. You got a big
165
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.080
smile out of me, and I'm a comedy snob. Mikey
166
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.600
Day as a spot making fun of is It Cake.
167
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.360
In the ad, we imagine a world where people are
168
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.679
wearing a new crim de Pistachio cash Weir body missed
169
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.039
and they are mistaken for cake makeup and beauty brand
170
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.679
e l F the Stars Alissa McCarthy. She learns how
171
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.120
to roll her rs in order to prepare for the
172
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.000
world's biggest Reggaetons show that won by Bad Bunny. The
173
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:12.159
halftime show, McCarthy realizes she doesn't speak Spanish, she crashes
174
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.879
her car. She wakes up in a telenovela titled Melissa
175
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.159
and bow and Yang is making one of his first
176
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.720
major appearances since leaving Saturday Night Live. In this ad,
177
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.840
we see bow and Yang settling into his new life.
178
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.159
He's lounging on a tropical beach. He's planning a party
179
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.320
and snacking on salty crackers. He speaks to a friend
180
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.159
through a shell phone and promises not to call the
181
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.679
friend perscutto. Also in the ad, Scarlett Johansson and John
182
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.919
Hamm boy no offense to Bowen, Who's you know, a
183
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.960
nice looking guy. But like, personally, if I were at
184
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.720
a commercial with Scarlet Johansson and John Hamm, I would
185
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.039
look like an unbelievable hideous troll. Like I have a
186
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.200
photo of me and Bruce Campbell. You know Bruce Campbell,
187
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.279
the actor. He's a handsome mad and I'm in this
188
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.519
photo with him, and I'm like, ill, yuck, who's the
189
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.639
ugly guy with Bruce Campbell? So I would not want
190
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.279
to be in a commercial with John Hamm and Scarlet Johnson. Anyway.
191
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.919
In the ad there's John Hamm and he says another day,
192
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.039
another Ritz party. Why then they invite us? Owen says, well,
193
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.360
we're salty and we hate parties and mingling and yapping.
194
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.559
John ham says they do have Ritz crackers though, let's
195
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.799
go for five minutes. IBB Online writes comic actor Tim
196
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.279
Robinson as many things quirky, yes, daft, also yes, but
197
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.480
evil that's perhaps a step too far. In an ad
198
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.200
for Rippling, Tim Robinson appears to have fumbled his way
199
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.039
into the leadership of a particularly villainous organization. In the spot,
200
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.759
Tim's vengeful Simpleton is attempting to airdrop a monster called
201
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.960
baby Breck into the city via helicopter. Unfortunately, the mayhem
202
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.759
cannot commence because Baby Breck is a new employee and
203
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.480
hasn't been onboarded. Oh yeah, that is corporate hell, I've
204
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.200
been there. Oh there's more. This is one hell of
205
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.200
a Super Bowl preview. You know, I'm the one that
206
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.960
put it together, and I had no idea it was
207
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.639
going to be this long. We're not even at the
208
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.960
halfway mark yet. Brian Baumgarner, you know him, Kevin from
209
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.919
the office, that guy. Yeah, he's throwing the world's largest
210
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.080
tailgate tomorrow. He'll be at the Fort Mason Pavilion. From
211
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.799
there you can see the Golden Gate Bridge from ten
212
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.480
am to twelve thirty pm local time, San Francisco time
213
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.679
on Sunday. He thinks there will be potentially one thousand lookalikes.
214
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.000
The pitch is to organize a physical manifestation of the
215
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.759
pregame commercial that has resulted in a tailgate party in
216
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.080
San Francisco. Says Brian, Let's bring all the Ryans together
217
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.879
and see what it looks like to multiply myself one,
218
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.559
hundreds or thousands of time over. Brian himself will arrive
219
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.240
with a crew of ten Brian clones, but the public
220
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.759
is encouraged to attend dress like Brian, meaning Kevin from
221
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.919
the office. But I guess they can't say it. Some
222
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.000
people were able to pre order bald caps, probably too
223
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:43.480
late for you by the time you're listening to this.
224
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.919
The lookalike voted most bombgartner like will get two tickets
225
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.759
to see the Super Bowl with Brian. He notes that
226
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.679
it's to embody him. You don't necessarily have to look
227
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.000
like him, but I know there'll be a lot of
228
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.440
bald caps. They're offering free shavings if you can't make it.
229
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.360
There's even a virtual version of this at brian'shair dot com.
230
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.759
The event will be live streamed also part of Super
231
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:12.080
Bowl Weekend. Tonight, Dave Chappelle has two shows. He's got
232
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.960
the Big Fancy Show. That one's sold out at the
233
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.679
Chase Center, but Dave also announced an intimate late night
234
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.120
show at the Chapel in San Francisco. I bet that's
235
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:22.960
gonna be even harder to get into. So we'll see
236
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.639
what Dave has to say Chiefs Wire caught up with
237
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.720
Rob Wriggle. Rob is a big Chiefs fan. I guess
238
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.759
they had this all lined up and then it was like, oh, yeah,
239
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.639
Chiefs suck this year. All right, Rob, what are you eating?
