In a surprise move, T-Mobile will announce Friday that former New York Jets Quarterback Tim Tebow will star in two of its Super Bowl XLVIII ads.
And there's an unexpected twist in T-Mobile's ad play: Tebow was in a 2010 Big Game commercial, but this T-Mobile spot is a sharp contrast with ad for conservative Christian advocacy group Focus on the Family that featured Tebow and his mom.
In these two 30-second commercials, he takes a comic turn with wild, zany roles, all poking fun at the fact that he doesn't have a National Football League contract -- and at cell-phone providers that require contracts. Without an allegiance to one team, or even one profession, he is able to take on gigs such as an obstetrician, a bull rider and a rock star.
These ads allow him to be "self-deprecating," he says, as well as to "do something that is outside of your comfort zone."
