Blondie-Wan Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 So... surely someone here is a(n American) football fan, right? I must confess I'm not, and hence I found out about this only recently despite it having happened over a year ago. Apparently, during last year's Super Bowl, the NFL ran an honestly nifty commercial that assures us "together we make football", my own personal experience notwithstanding. It features a variety of folks from all walks of life, including a handful of celebrities and/or animated characters, all pumped up for some gridiron action, cheering on their teams. Apparently Wyldstyle, Emmet, Surfer Dave, and others in Bricksburg are New Orleans Saints fans. Who knew? Sweet bonus: also features candy-colored equines from a (*ahem*) competing toy company. Two of my favorite fandoms in a freaking football commercial?! What is the world coming to?! I know this is old news, but I didn't see any previous mentions of it; moreover, given that a different variety of football is itself a hot topic in the LEGOverse right now, it seems a relevant time to mention it...

I remember this from last year. Certainly caught me by surprise, and I too enjoyed Lego and MLP being in closer proximity than they'll probably ever get to be outside of the toy aisle.

Blondie-Wan Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 I did appreciate that the Mane Six root for the Indianapolis Colts. Of course they do. I mean, it would have to be them, or the Denver Broncos, I guess. Is there a LEGO / Saints connection I'm overlooking, or is it more a case of "they have to root for somebody, and the Saints are as suitable a choice as any other"? Quote
Robert8 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 It says the video is not available So... surely someone here is a(n American) football fan, right? Oh god no.... Quote
gamejutzu Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 So... surely someone here is a(n American) football fan, right? Not even Americans are football fans Tbh general interest in football seems to be slipping, with videos like these helping it stay afloat from becoming the next baseball. Quote
