To keep pace with a rival restaurateur, Bob hires a documentarian to shoot a Super Bowl commercial and a former pro-football star to act as celebrity spokesman.

Reception

Genevieve Valentine of The A.V. Club gave the episode a 'B+', "Overall, though, this is another solid installment of a great season, with the inherent gimmick of the Super Bowl suitably drowned in the sublimely talentless Belcher charm. And yes, we do get to see the all-family version of the commercial, which is just as great and terrible as you imagine. I hope we see it again."[2] Robert Ham of Paste gave the episode an 8.8 out of 10, saying "So, while it’s charming and funny to see the Belchers trying to make a commercial to air on Super Bowl Sunday in hopes of roping customers away from Pesto’s, you know from the get-go that it’s going to be a failed endeavor. No matter though, it’s a noble failure and a very funny one, too."[3]

The episode received a 1.5 rating and was watched by a total of 3.24 million people. This made it the fourth most watched show on Animation Domination that night, losing to American Dad!, The Simpsons and Family Guy with 4.11 million.[4]
