Eli Manning Stars In New DirecTV Commercial [VIDEO]

Giants quarterback Eli Manning had a career-season last year without getting to a Super Bowl. He's picking up where he left off in the entertainment department with a new marketing campaign.

We're all familiar with the many Rob Lowe's that surfaced throughout the DirecTV campaign. Well, now we have a new series that stars New York's own, Eli Manning.

"Bad Comedian Eli" is very well played and in fact, Eli does a much better job than probably most would have anticipated.

In the Manning family, Peyton takes the cake in the advertising department but Eli is catching up with this latest NFL Sunday Ticket commercial.

It's almost like "Bad Comedian Eli" is a totally different person. That's more personality than we see from Eli during the games!

In a related department, this was previously the best Eli commercial series, before it was dethroned by DirecTV. Great job, Eli. Looking forward to this season.
