Ahead of the Super Bowl this year, Tostitos released a series of funny ads starring "the official chip of the NFl"—and Chip Kelly, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. The ads are designed to poke fun at the coach, bumping him to second place as the best "chip."
In this ad, called 'Really' the two chips are introduced and it's made comically clear that one is superior to the other, although Chip is a good sport about it. Other humorous ads in the Official Chip series features bags of tortilla chips being tossed like footballs, footballers punting and "chips" trying to be bought at the store. This hilarious series may only have ads that are a few seconds long, but they're packed with puns.
