Tubi pulled a FAST one on Tremendous Bowl viewers on Sunday evening.
Tubi, the free, ad-supported streaming tv (FAST), ran a intelligent trompe l’oeil advert that made it look as if viewers’ TVs have been altering the channel proper in the midst of the climactic finish of the Eagles-Chiefs recreation.
The 15-second spot, which ran within the fourth quarter of Fox’s Tremendous Bowl LVII telecast, begins by throwing again to the sport’s saying duo of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen. (Tubi is owned by Fox Corp.)
As Burkhardt and Olsen banter in generalities in regards to the recreation, an unseen hand pulls up a Tubi on-demand menu on the TV — and after a few audible blips, selects “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” the 2005 film starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, earlier than the Tubi emblem flashes on the display.
The jarring advert left many viewers confused — and indignant.

“Tubi ought to be SUED for that industrial,” Barstool Sports activities’ Rico Bosco groused on Twitter. Professional softball participant Haley Cruse Mitchell commented, “That tubi industrial positively made me begin a struggle with my husband.”
Tubi, which Fox Corp. acquired in 2020 for $440 million, mildly disturbed Tremendous Bowl audiences earlier within the recreation with “Rabbit Hole,” a 60-second advert that includes gigantic, mute rabbits (gently) kidnapping folks and throwing them into holes within the floor. The tagline: “Discover rabbit holes you didn’t know you have been in search of.” The Tubi adverts have been created by advert company Mischief.
