Peyton Manning will call Ninja a “videogame master” in a Super Bowl ad

Be prepared to explain Twitch and Fortnite to your parents this weekend, friends - Ninja’s going to feature in a Super Bowl commercial. The Fortnite streaming star has posted a clip of the ad to Twitter, which features a number of NFL players and personalities - from Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning to league commissioner Roger Goodell. The thrust of the ad is that Ninja’s a waiter at a fancy event devoted to the launch of the NFL’s 100th season. The players marvel at his presence, while Goodell is the old person surrogate asking “who’s Ninja?” Manning explains that Ninja is a “videogame master.” Whether you want to provide any additional context for the non-gamers in your life this Sunday is up to you. By just about any metric Ninja is the most successful streamer in the world, and his popularity has brought him to mainstream crossovers that range from streaming with Drake and appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show to hosting his own Times Square New Year’s Eve event. This ad is set to play just before the Super Bowl halftime show, which is traditionally one of the most lucrative spots in the game’s advertising blitz.
