I use to not be able to stand Peyton Manning, though I really had no reason for that. However, ever since he created one of my all time favorite SNL skits, [United Way](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpPf-q2_es)\*, he is okay in my book. His commercials are good too; De-Caf! \*I hope that is the right link, I can’t actually play youtube vids at work and can never seem to get Hulu to work anymore, anywhere. ---

> [@Cuckoorex](#): > > Actually, he says “Don’t choke on it,” to which Manning replies with something like, “Thanks for the warning! I’ll just chop those up into smaller pieces!” :smack: Thanks. That makes a lot more sense. Manning’s in that Sony HDTV ad too – the one with the chicken mascot and the guy who says he doesn’t like sports. That was funny, the first time. ---

> [@USCDiver](#): > > I interpreted the commercial as fans of opposing teams don’t like him because he’s a good football player and not because they hate him personally. Backed up by the fact that all the scenes take place in different cities, and all (IIRC, except for the “finger” bit) have hotel staff involved. ---

> [@](#): > > I think it would have been funnier (and less ambiguous) if at the end, it had Peyton on the balcony yelling down something like “No, YOU’RE number one!” I agree but they needed a visual joke they could use while the announcer was doing the voice-over for the product. ---

The Hulu ([http://www.hulu.com/watch/1603/saturday-night-live-united-way](http://www.hulu.com/watch/1603/saturday-night-live-united-way)) link, so you don’t have to register. ---

Speaking of actors and body parts, a friend once commented that she thought Michael Caine’s face reminded her of a penis. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/peyton-manning-mastercard-commercial/479321.md?page=1)
