Panthers in NFL Play 60 commercial

by RV21 on Oct 17, 2011 4:40 PM EDT

Everyone know those catchy/annoying NFL Play 60 commercials with the Falcons and Bears that has the song that goes "yadda yadda yadda yadda jump on the bus!"? Looks like we are the next team to be featured in it.

In Peter King's 10 Things I Think I Think today, King posted the following:

6. I think you'll see an interesting new commercial on the air next Sunday. (You'll probably be so sick of it in two weeks you'll never want to see it again.) But it's one of those NFL Play 60 commercials, with players from one team getting on a yellow school bus to the tune of "The Power Is On,'' by The Go! Team. (I had to look that up. There's no way I would know who The Go! Team is -- the band is from Brighton, England -- as you well can figure.) But the song's catchy, and this commercial is pretty good too.

It's the Carolina Panthers on the bus with kids, then getting off to exercise with them. There's Cam Newton, nodding in tune with the song, and Steve Smith, and Ron Rivera, and Jon Beason, and other players ... and -- spoiler alert now -- when the front door of the bus opens up to let everyone out, you see the driver. Jerry Richardson, the Carolina owner. In a spiffy blue suit. "When we heard Mr. Richardson would be the driver, we were all like, "Whoaaaaa,'' said Beason. Beason agrees with me: "The music is very catchy.''

Who else is excited to Cam, Smitty, the Beast, Rivera and Jerry Richardson in a blue suit in a commercial? I can't be the only one, can I?

Seeing Smitty, Cam, Beast, and BAMF will be cool

But seeing Big Cat in it tops the charts

I wish he would have saved the spoiler....

Seeing JR driving and not knowing about it would have been a classic WTF?! moment.

With the way JR threw money around this offseason, I wouldn't be surprised if it is a gold cart, lol.

What would be funny is if the kids see JR driving and they're scared to get on the bus.

I knew that they filmed it, I've been waiting for it to come out.

I’m excited to see it.

Oh God...

I have this creepy-ass picture of Jerry in my head opening the bus door and just staring.

Very surprised they chose us for this. Might just be because of Cam, tbh.

Awesome! Finally getting some media love. I mean i was happy with that NFL apparell commercial where the guy gives the old man the Panthers sweatshirt and it had Sir Purr on the back.

That play 60 song is catchy in the way that

the chicken pox are. You try to avoid it but at some point every gets to experience it. And the experience is twice as bad.

Anything is better than the Opportunity commercial

I honestly cringe everytime I hear that old woman sing “Opportuniy, opportuniy…is knocking at your door. Opportunity knocks but once…and don’t come back no more.”
