Steve Harvey won back our hearts with this funny Super Bowl commercial
Steve Harvey’s surprise commercial plunge for Super Bowl reminded viewers of his Miss Universe blunder.
The end of the ad shows a hashtag #ballogize, yet another nod to the balls ads that T-Mobile and Verizon (and AT&T, too) aired, and also a nod to Mr. Harvey’s apology to Miss Colombia for accidentally crowning her the victor, when he should have crowned Miss Philippines, the actual victor. If she’s not going to get a crown, a Super Bowl commercial wouldn’t have been a bad consolation prize. Harvey in the ad claims that Verizon’s data is outdated, that T-Mobile has added more towers in the past year. T-Mobile reaches pretty much everyone they do.
So, it was only right that T-Mobile featured the video for their commercial to troll some of the other cell companies, and it also featured Drake actually pulling off a nice little acting job. The T-Mobile spot starts out with an announcer and looks similar to the Verizon ad, but then Harvey appears and apologizes to T-Mobile customers for what he says are claims about T-Mobile’s coverage based on last year’s numbers. “Verizon got it wrong! Yes!”
