Tracy Morgan is Mio (un)Fit In Hilarious Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:30:26 +0000

Mio Fit’s Super Bowl commercial features Tracy Morgan advocating the American knack for change, a move that effectively makes the whole situation absurd.

GoPro saved money to pay for their Super Bowl airtime by using one of their own cameras to film their commercial. Well, that's the theory we have anyway. We don't know that for certain. It doesn't really matter, anyway. The only thing that matters is look at the chubby cheeks on this baby! Now we want to buy a camera so we can affix it to other people's heads. Good work, GoPro -- your commercial was a success.
