Uber Eats Football is for Food – The Commercial and More

It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno! Oh wait, no it IS delivery and it’s Uber Eats (and yes, they delivery pizza). Uber’s food delivery service is ranked one of the highest in the U.S. and for their latest commercial they called on some high-ranking entertainers. They’re all related to football in some way– current NFL, former NFL, and a diehard Texas Longhorn fan. Take a look then scroll down for more…

I hope Matthew McConaughey doesn’t get into politics because with the climate the way it is now, he’ll lose half of his fans… of which I am one. He’s one of my favorite actors and this commercial is a great example of why. His delivery, timing, tone, all of it is fantastic. Plus he seems like a nice guy whether he’s starring in a music video or starring in a movie.

The supporting cast- Christian McCaffrey and Jerry Rice– did awesome, too. Just enough to set up McConaughey for his funny lines. Someone over at the Uber Eats creative department deserves a kudos for this one (or maybe a Zaxby’s delivery courtesy of his or her bosses?) because the wordplay took some research.

I like the ad, it makes me laugh every time I see it, and they’re not wrong either. A wise executive producer once told me that TV shows are just vehicles for advertisements. Football is no different… except that football is for food, too.
