Guess what? Tua Tagovailoa is making waves on the biggest football stages, but not in the Super Bowl. In a quirky twist, Tua, the former Alabama product, is now rubbing shoulders with a bunch of fictional characters. They’re all on a mission to conquer the Paramount mountain. Quite the unexpected team up, right?
We have a disclaimer, though. And consider this a spoiler alert. Before you read on, we highly recommend watching the ad first. It’ll give you the giggles like no other in recent times. Only proceed without watching at your peril.

In this wild advertisement, picture this lineup: Sir Patrick Stewart, Drew Barrymore, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Jeff Probst from Survivor, Arnold from Hey Arnold!, Dora the Explorer, Lt. Jim Dangle of Reno 911, Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog movies, Master Chief from Halo, Peppa Pig, and two members of the band Creed. Here’s how the ad goes:

“I can’t get that thing up there,” Tua Tagovailoa starts looking up Paramount Hill. Huh, if only it were a football. Then he would have no trouble. “What about a football-shaped head?” Sir Patrick Stewart retorts, with Arnold looking on. “We throw the child,” he said, looking at Arnold’s football-shaped head. But Tua plays spoilsport. Tagovailoa refuses to manhandle a child. Patrick stages a dig at him by saying, “Not built for the moment.” Then, Stewart takes off his coat to unveil a football uniform. And he does the deed himself. The band Creed plays their hit song “Higher.” But alas, his throw falls short. Arnold bangs his head against the mountain. “Now if only there were someone made of pigskin,” said Stewart. Danger time for Peppa Pig!
He should’ve made the throw. That would’ve been great practice for his upcoming Pro Bowl game.
