It\u2019s the offseason, a magical time of the year where there\u2019s time enough to dive into topics that might not get much attention when there are games to be played. Like the matter of our favorite Buffalo Bills players and what endorsement deals they might land. No, I\u2019m not talking about Josh Allen and his product endorsements for\u2026 well just about everything at this point.<\/p>\n

This is the time of year where we can dive into the new advertising campaign featuring Bills safety Damar Hamlin. If you hadn\u2019t heard yet, Hamlin is following in the footsteps of notable bowling superstar Roy Munson. If that reference didn\u2019t land, Hamlin is featured in an advertisement for Trojan brand condoms. Now here\u2019s the kicker, in my opinion; I\u2019m all about players leveraging their celebrity status for endorsement deals but I just don\u2019t understand the connection between this product and Damar Hamlin.<\/p>\n

Which is how I landed at the premise for this article. Let\u2019s make some oddball pitches for ads we\u2019d like to see and pair them with some of our favorite Buffalo Bills players. Stick to community guidelines but let\u2019s have some fun with it.<\/p>\n

Tourism campaign starring Joe Andreessen<\/h3>\n

Our ad begins with \u201cBuffalo Joe\u201d strolling along Buffalo with shots in all four seasons in beautiful Western New York. He\u2019s dressed in full Western New York attire (Bills gear if the NFL and NFLPA are on board with it). Andreessen talks about his love for his hometown, how excited he\u2019s been playing for the home team, and how great it is to be home. <\/p>\n

And then he closes with \u201cCome visit [City Name]\u201d and it\u2019s some place not remotely like Buffalo or the imagery shown. Bonus points if it\u2019s a town that\u2019s so small it has no business having an advertisement budget. \u201cI\u2019m not nicknamed \u2018Buffalo Joe\u2019 for nothing. I love my home town, team, and all that Buffalo has to offer. Come visit Los Cerillos, New Mexico.\u201d <\/p>\n

The less explanation the better. <\/p>\n

Greg Rousseau for Surge soda<\/h3>\n

This is your typical athlete ad at first glance. Groot is seen first hitting the weights in the gym. We get rapid-fire cutscenes that are part of the familiar training montage format. As the scenes get more intense, you can see Rousseau visibly frustrated that he\u2019s not reaching the mythical \u201cnext level.\u201d Lightning crackles across the screen, a vibrant green can appears in Rousseau\u2019s hand. He smiles, nods, and drinks it down.<\/p>\n

The montage changes to Groot wreaking havoc on offensive lineman and quarterbacks, ending with a triumphant pose atop a pile of defeated foes. It all captures the \u201cextreme\u201d attitude of the late 90s and early 2000s which is appropriate given that Surge was discontinued in 2003. I have no reason to think they\u2019re bringing it back either but why not make a commercial for it?<\/p>\n

Dion Dawkins for Little Chocolate Donuts<\/h3>\n

Yes, I know. This is very much like the Greg Rousseau one, but I had to include it. John Belushi\u2019s \u201cLittle Chocolate Donuts\u201d sketch for Saturday Night Live has lived rent free in my head for as long as I can remember. One of the pinnacles of satirical comedy, I\u2019d love to see the Schnowman do as close to a shot-by-shot reproduction of this gem as he could with football rather than track and field. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Matt Milano for Duolingo<\/h3>\n

Matt Milano is in Venice trying to order a fancy coffee, but OH NO! He doesn\u2019t speak the language. (He speaks?) He leaves the cafe with his head hanging in shame. Cut to Paris, France where he runs similarly afoul of the language barrier trying to buy a baguette. After the same result at various other destinations Milano is seen downloading Duolingo to learn as many new languages as he can.<\/p>\n

Note that we never hear him actually practicing the language, we just have to assume that he\u2019s absorbing it somehow and might actually speak out loud if it came to it. Like in an emergency situation maybe. I can\u2019t think of anything that might make the man speak, but I imagine there\u2019s gotta be something.<\/p>\n

It was surprisingly hard to find the video of this gem online, but if you\u2019re wondering about the inspiration for this piece, here you go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
