Tom Brady is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not for controversy but rather for a humorous twist on himself. In a comical new advertisement for “GOAT Gummies,” the football icon showcases an exaggeratedly muscular physique, leading fans to joke about “Deflategate 2.0,” except now it’s his physique that’s raising eyebrows.
The commercial presents two distinct versions of Brady: one serene and wholesome as “Organic Tom,” and the other wildly animated as “Artificial Tom Brady,” who bursts onto the screen exclaiming, “I’m jacked!” With exaggerated biceps, an impossibly thick neck, and a seemingly inflated chest, the artificial Brady resembles someone who’s either lifted massive weights or is indulging in something far from ordinary gummies.
Tom Brady’s hilariously exaggerated transformation steals the show
“I haven’t slept since 2007,” he humorously declares. “My resting heart rate is 400.” The spoof is so over-the-top that it’s clear which Brady is authentic and which one is just for laughs. Could this be the most extravagant advertisement Brady has ever produced?
Let’s not overlook the real-life drama from 2015 surrounding Deflategate, where Brady faced suspension for allegedly manipulating footballs. Now, more than a decade later, his physique resembles that of a bodybuilder after a loss in a bet, prompting fans to question: is this just a joke or a brilliant long-term ad strategy?
Whether he’s poking fun at critics or simply enjoying retirement, the ad reveals a new side of Brady. This version isn’t completing passes but instead creating memes. And even if his muscles are artificial, the audience’s reactions are genuine. One fan quipped, “Tom Brady shifted from deflating footballs to inflating his biceps,” while another joked, “I believed in Deflategate… but now I’m on board with InflateBrady.”
Ultimately, this clever marketing serves as a witty dig at wellness trends, sports controversies, and Brady himself. It showcases that, even post-career, Brady knows precisely how to keep himself in the news. This time, it’s not footballs being inflated but rather his own legacy, one absurd muscle at a time.
