Okay, so maybe not quite the real story ... But
sending up a norm of pandemic life – the glitchy video call –
T-Mobile’s first Big Game ad today urges trusting the biggest 5G
network for the biggest decisions.
Un-carrier releases a second spot with Anthony
Anderson and Mama Doris returning to the Big Game and battling it
out in The Anderson Bowl – with a little help from “distant cousin”
Travis Kelce.

T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) just revealed in a Big Game spot that
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s fated pairing resulted from a
spotty video call with former The Voice costar Adam Levine on a
spotty Carrier connection. T-Mobile reunited Levine, Stefani and
Shelton for the first time since The Voice, and today the
Un-carrier unveiled documented footage revealing the SHOCKING
TRUTH* about the unlikely couple: they were set up as a result of a
garbled convo between Stefani and Levine.
In the spot, Stefani tells Adam that she is “looking for someone
cultured, maybe from another country, someone unafraid of a strong
woman.” But the signal cuts out and Adam heard something completely
different … so when Blake showed up for their date, Stefani was
shocked. “I mean … spurs? Really? Who wears those to dinner?”
“Who DOESN’T ride a horse to a first date,” responded Shelton.
“All I know is, that’s the one time I was thankful for Gwen’s
crappy phone signal. Glad we got together. And glad we got
T-Mobile.”
“Gwen’s video was cutting out, and I heard her say that she
wanted someone uncultured, country and afraid of strong women,”
explained Levine. “I thought it was odd, but I instantly knew her
perfect match.”
The iconic duo lucked out this time … but potentially
life-changing convos shouldn’t be trusted to anything but the
nation’s largest and fastest 5G network, and that’s T-Mobile’s.

The spot is part of T-Mobile’s “Misunderstandings” campaign,
which includes a previously-released ad featuring two of the stars
of today’s game. That “GOAT 5G” spot was banned from the Big Game
due to the “protected telco rights deal,” but it was too good not
to share with the world. And after being featured on The TODAY
Show, the spot has garnered more than 30 million views – and
counting – across Twitter and YouTube.
The Anderson Bowl
Golden Globe and nine-time Emmy nominee Anthony Anderson and his
now-famous and ever-sassy Mama, Doris Bowman, make back-to-back
appearances in the Big Game. In this fresh spot, the dynamic duo
face off in an annual family football game while their family far
and wide video calls in to watch … on 5G smartphones riding on
T-Mobile 5G, of course, which … no big deal, just happens to be the
nation’s largest and fastest. The teams seem evenly matched until
Mama brings Anthony’s *distant cousin* and professional tight end
Travis Kelce.

“Underdog no more, it’s time that everyone knows that T-Mobile
now has the nation’s largest and fastest 5G network and America has
a new network leader,” said Mike Sievert, CEO at T-Mobile. “We
needed to tell our story loud and clear, so we brought in our
friends Anthony and Doris, Gwen, Blake, Adam and more to help us
spread the word on the country’s biggest stage.”
