The Super Bowl Commercial That Had Denny Hamlin Flipping Out

Are you among the millions of sports fans who watched the Super Bowl this year? If so, you may have noticed a commercial that had many people in a frenzy, including NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.

During the 2nd episode of the podcast “Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin,” Hamlin and co-host Jared Allen spoke about the Tubi commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. The commercial caused quite a stir, as it looked like someone was changing the channel in the middle of the game. Hamlin exclaimed, “We were freaking the f*ck out that somebody downstairs was turning on smart TV.” It seems like he was not the only one panicking.

Jared Allen also weighed in, sharing that he was watching the game at home when the commercial aired. “I hear it go back to the game, which is actually not the game, right? It goes back to Greg Olsen. And the Tubi thing cuts in and it catches my attention immediately. I’m like (Laughs),” he recalled.

So, what made this commercial so startling?

Hamlin joked that he had a bit of PTSD once when his daughter turned off his screens while he was racing iRacing. It’s not surprising that when the commercial made it look like someone was changing the channel in the middle of the game, he went into a frenzy.

While Hamlin and Allen both agree that the commercial was entertaining, they also understand why it may have caused problems for the network. As Hamlin put it, “the network could not have liked people grabbing the remotes trying to change channels in the middle of the fourth quarter.”
