The most important question of all time
 

Surely by now, you've all seen this commercial:

Why, when Peyton Manning comes into the living room, does he have to duck under the doorway? Is he supposed to be 9 feet tall? Or is he supposed to be entering Lilliput? This has bugged me for months. Anybody? Bueller?

It is because of his huge melon. :D

IT'S BECAUSE HE'S CARRYING THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE'S INDIANAPOLIS COLTS ON HIS SHOULDERS

It seemed like he was entering Tiny House from those Geico commercials.

"I'm just trying to make an omelet!"

looks like really bad green screen effects.

Too bad he didn't have a tiny football in his hand too....:D

I never quite understood his need to duck either. It annoys me.

I think he is clearly on a platform behind the couch as he comes in... but I don't get the point of it at all?

He's Peyton Manning, he can stop, drop, roll, kick, jump, duck.. do whatever the hell he wants. I mean who doesn't like a six-five, 230-pound quarterbacks with a laser rocket arm?

WOW...I have never seen that commercial, wth

Never seen it either.

This is the only Manning commercial I don't find incredibly annoying. I'm amused by his facial expressions.

I actually like most of Manning's commercials. The peptalk one where he advises the fat guys to buy bigger shirts cracks me up.

His arms are too short for his body too.

I'm kinda impressed by the fact that Peyton is pretty consistent in portraying himself as something of a dork (although a cocky dork) throughout all of his ads. I don't know how many top-flight athletes would cultivate that image.

Hmm...might have been a weak attempt at simulating a step-down living room.

Yeah, I've wondered about that commercial too. I mean, even with 8ft ceilings, an opening like that wouldn't be that low.

I thought I was just drunk enough where I was seeing things. Maybe we all are...
