One of my favorite commercials is with Peyton Manning. It’s a master card commercial talking about supporting your team.

The most important signs:

In the commercial when the waitress drops her tray Peyton says “Hey that’s okay Wendy that was a good carry, you’re the man, you’re the man.” This is a sign meaning Peyton saying “good carry” in football terms.

The next part is the guy working the latte machine. When the steam hits his face and he falls to the ground Peyton says “shake it off Johnny rub some dirt on it.” This too is related to football in when a guy gets hurt Peyton might tell them to just shake it off.

In the next screen with the guys who drop the piano. Payton says “they arnt saying boo, they are saying moooovers. In this sign Payton is also relating to football.

The little boy throws the football throw the window Peyton says “don’t worry about it bobby you still have the best arm in the neighborhood” Again, football and QB’s throwing passes.

Some important codes:

The main codes in the commercial is the four different parts all being “football terms”. Why it is great to support your football team.

If I was explaining this commercial to someone from outside the United States I would start with explaining who the famous Peyton Manning was. With out knowing who Peyton Manning is the commercial wouldn’t be nearly as clever or enjoyable. I explain to the person that Peyton is a Pro NFL QB for the Indianapolis Colts. That he hold many records and is famous and loved for what he does. Having Peyton in this commercial is what makes it witty and fun. He makes this a truly great master card commercial.
