`Kermit Trolls Patrick Mahomes in Nike’s Super Bowl Ad`

by

The Super Bowl LIX has been played out, and some may contend that it wasn’t the most closely fought contest. The Philadelphia Eagles faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs, with the former team starting off strongly and maintaining control for much of the night. After the Eagles secured their 40-22 victory during the game, Nike published a video focusing on the team, which featured Kermit the Frog. Many fans are now appreciating this clip, while others appear to be discussing it as a way to tease Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The advertisement, posted on X and various social networking sites, was created to honor the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory and the season leading up to it. The one-minute TV commercial highlights key moments from the team’s journey, showcasing their victories as well as their setbacks. Accompanying these scenes is a rendition of “Bein’ Green” by Kermit the Frog playing in the background. You can watch the video by clicking on the post below:

According to the title, it’s quite exciting indeed to be green now, given that the Philadelphia team successfully secured another championship. Among the assortment of Super Bowl LIX advertisements, this one stands out as more subtle and understated compared to others this year. Social media users seem to appreciate it, with many commending its production quality. Interestingly, some viewers have also noted a resemblance between the commercial’s narrator and Patrick Mahomes.

  • They got Mahomes to narrate too? – @ChaosChrisPHL
  • The Kermit voiceover is clever iykyk – @callmec0ry
  • Amazing they got Mahomes to sing the song on this commercial celebrating his opponent. – @regulatorynerd
  • How’d they get Pat to narrate this? Wow. – @AlecDWarren
  • They got Mahomes singing right after the L? Thats crazy 😂 – @Samurai_black92
  • How did they get Patrick Mahomes to sing this? – @vestedmeme

At first glance, some might think that Kermit the Frog’s song being used is just a nod to the winning team wearing green jerseys in the Super Bowl. However, it’s no secret that people often joke about the quarterback’s voice sounding similar to Kermit the Muppet. Nike hasn’t confirmed this, but it seems fans are certainly entertaining this idea.

The Muppets brand has faced cancellations and difficulties lately, but their charm continues to be treasured icons in certain communities. Many famous personalities harbor a fondness for Jim Henson’s delightfully endearing creatures. Danny Trejo, for instance, was moved to tears while working alongside Kermit soon after the loss of his own mother. Despite this, the affection for these characters seems stronger than ever, albeit with NFL fans expressing more skepticism than admiration in their comments.

Currently, Patrick Mahomes has faced quite a bit of good-natured ribbing or teasing on various occasions. For example, in 2021, Twitter users made lighthearted comments when his Super Bowl barber contracted COVID just before giving him a haircut. Sportscasters also joined in the fun after he fumbled a spike during this year’s AFC Championship game. Even Brittany Mahomes, his wife, playfully teased him for wearing Crocs during an upscale photo session.

It appears that Patrick Mahomes handles criticism gracefully, and chances are, more critiques will surface during the offseason. The Eagles gave the Chiefs a tough loss, an event that fans won’t easily forget due to the game itself, Nike ads, and other factors. Personally, I’d be intrigued if Mahomes decided to address internet trolling by partnering with Jim Henson Company on a collaborative project featuring him alongside Kermit.
