How about a commercial that mixes two tastes that taste great together? That is what happened with Doritos and Mountain Dew teamed up for their ultimate rap battle – starring Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones and the regal Morgan Freeman.
Yes, I said rap battle.
This Super Bowl commercial started with Peter Dinklage and a bag of Doritos Blaze. He then starts to lip sync to Busta Rhymes’ “Look at Me Now” while Busta Rhymes is in a photograph delivering some lines as well. it is completely ridiculous, but Peter Dinklage sells it all and then things get even more bizarre.
Morgan Freeman walks out in a set that starts to freeze after he takes a drink of Mountain Dew Ice. He then starts to lip sync to Missy Elliott’s “Get Your Freak On” while Missy Elliott is in a photograph delivering lines as well. You haven’t seen anything until you have seen Morgan Freeman lip sync to Missy Elliott.
The Super Bowl commercial ends with Freeman in his frozen room holding a bottle of Mountain Dew Ice facing Peter Dinklage in his mahogany colored room, holding his Doritos Blaze. Freeman then blows out a small fire on Dinklage’s shoulder only for him to reignite it as Freeman chuckles.
