Jelly Roll stars in a new commercial that so would have killed at the Super Bowl.

Quick disclaimer, this is in no way an ad for the product that Jelly Roll is now pushing. For journalistic integrity, I feel I must ask you to mentally block out all mention and sight of the product. Just focus on how funny it is, not what it's actually selling.
Cool? Cool. Thank you for your cooperation.
I feel like the latest ad Jelly Roll has appeared in had some younger writers on the team, for it's witty, to-the-point, and pretty clever.
Using modern tropes such as 'kid knows far more than is expected from them' and smart fourth-wall breaks, an advert finally exists that isn't painful to sit through.
What's more, is that the humor is nailed without being all 'corporate cringe.'
Jelly Roll was the perfect ambassador for the product, too, given his weight journey and how down-to-earth he is. I don't think any other celebrity would have given the advert the comedic punch the singer does.
And he doesn't even say anything.
You can check out the ad below. Remember, though, please block out all acknowledgment of the product. We don't promote things for free out here in this economy.
Internet Reacts To Hilarious Jelly Roll Commercial
The comments are full of people sharing their thoughts about the commercial.
"This should of been a superbowl commercial," wrote one. My thoughts exactly.
"This is going to break the internet all the way down," optimistically wrote another.
"These hoochie daddy shorts are awesome!! Lolol!" exclaimed a fan.
"F--KING GENIUS," yelled another.
"This is a great commercial, love the smile at the end," commented one more, and I agree.
Many comments are simply of people sharing how great they thought the ad was, and how enjoyable it was to watch.
I personally think more adverts should take note. It's clearly an ad that's trying to deliver a message, but it doesn't mean they can't have some genuine quips and gags.
It's the final joke I love the most. The prolonged scene of his smile to the zoomed-out shot is comedic brilliance.
