It’s a party at the ‘sac for Peyton Manning, Post Malone and Shane Gillis!
The trio is bringing the fun to the 2025 Super Bowl as the stars of Bud Light’s epic new ad, which debuted on Friday, Jan. 31.
Malone and Gillis begin the hilarious clip by stepping up to save the day after a neighbor tells him he “accidentally threw a lame party.”
As the two suddenly emerge with a leaf blower, lawn mower, and a large blue cooler filled with Bud Light, the words “Big Men on Cul-De-Sac” emerge on the screen.
“These beers are a metaphor for an invitation,” says Gillis after the two begin using leaf blowers to launch beer cans to the partygoers and nearby neighbors.
Once the crowd at the party begins to grow, Manning appears as one of the attendees and declares that “this Cul-De-Sac is popping.”
Todd Allen, SVP of Marketing for Bud Light, shared that the trio was chosen to star in the ad because they “all undoubtedly deliver BMOC energy in their everyday lives.”

Delivering that energy was easy for Manning, who tells PEOPLE that shooting the Super Bowl ad with Post Malone and Gillis was “a lot of fun.”
“They’re great. They made my job easy,” he says. “I’ve been fortunate to have some great teammates, both on the football field and off the field, over the years and I would say Shane and Post are certainly no different.”
“It’s not hard to act like you’re having a good time when you’re around these two guys. We’re genuinely laughing, genuinely enjoying the moment. So it was a fun trip,” he adds.
While Manning is no stranger to the Super Bowl, having won two during his football career, he tells PEOPLE why this one will be different.
“I always look forward to going to the Super Bowl and being a part of the weekend. And you know, the past couple years, I’ve enjoyed going, since I’ve retired from football,” he says. “You get to enjoy it and going to New Orleans and seeing family and friends this year will be even more special.”
