This week, as NFL fans tuned in, the league revealed Bad Bunny as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show. Blaze TV’s Jason Whitlock caught a commercial during the broadcast and found it… well, a bit strange.
He posed the question, “What’s wrong with a gay commercial airing during an NFL game?”
The first ad he pointed out featured Will Ferrell in a PayPal spot, sporting curlers, lounging in a bubble bath, and blowing bubbles. Ferrell’s performance is notably flamboyant; he uses a high-pitched tone and reacts dramatically to a knock on the door, exclaiming, “It’s my time now.”
Another commercial from DirectTV displayed actors Kumail Nanjiani and Rob McElhenney snuggled together on a couch, draped in oversized fur coats and flashy jewelry.
Whitlock noted that one version of this ad features a scene where one man reaches between another’s legs to grab a remote control.
“What are we experiencing here?” he questioned. “Do you get why the NFL chose Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl? It seems to promote gender fluidity and cater to the LGBTQIA+ demographic. They’re clearly pushing an agenda.”
He continued by suggesting that the NFL is trying to encourage uncomfortable discussions between fathers and their children while watching football at home. “They want kids to ask, ‘What’s that about?’”
Whitlock’s take was clear: “They aim to force that conversation onto every parent and child, using Bad Bunny as a vehicle for this at the Super Bowl. Can we not just enjoy football without these themes being thrust upon us?”
“It feels both unnecessary and intentional,” he remarked.
