“What do you get when a football gets down with your phone?”

Peyton and Eli Manning showed off their rapping skills in a new commercial for DirecTV’s “Sunday Ticket,” donning cheesy wigs in a slow jam called “Football on Your Phone.”

“Look at this guy, using his phone as a phone. Your phone ain’t for calling, your phone is for footballing!” the Mannings rap.

Newsday opines that Eli may have the best line in the commercial: “It’s like I spilled milk all over your blouse on accident, or on purpose. It’s like the milk is football and your blouse is the phone. Uh huh. Yeah.”

“Football on your phone. Do you want that? … Our dad does,” the brothers sing. Father Archie Manning sits upon a golden throne with a stoic face and grunts, “Uh huh. Yeah.”

So what would Alexander Graham Bell say if he saw you watching football on your phone?

According to the Mannings, who cares? “Dude’s dead.”
