Written by Zach Kanin (“I Think You Should Leave” and
“Detroiters”) and directed by Alice Mathias (“I Think You Should
Leave”), the acclaimed comedic team is dishing their signature
humor in celebration of the most snackable pizza in the
universe.
“Fans can tune in on game day to see their favorite Totino’s
Pizza Rolls and favorite Detroiters like they’ve never seen
before,” said Tim Robinson.
“Chazmo Finally Goes Home” marks the first Big Game ad ever for
the frozen pizza category and General Mills’ return to the Big Game
after more than a decade. This unforgettable moment for pizza and
football fans alike is part of the Totino’s Pizza Rolls overall
strategy to help take the beloved Midwestern brand from regional
darling to everyone’s favorite way to eat pizza coast to coast.
Tim and Sam first teamed up with Totino’s Pizza Rolls last fall
for “Chazmo Goes Home” where they starred as suburban dads and
introduced fans to the intergalactic visitor Chazmo, who had become
friends with their kids and ate all of their pizza rolls.
“I never got to really know Chazmo, but at least I got to spend
the time enjoying Totino’s Pizza Rolls,” said Sam Richardson.
“Chazmo Finally Goes Home” features the conclusion to Tim and
Sam’s farewell to Chazmo. In a humorous and unexpected twist, and
with a bag of his beloved Totino's Pizza Rolls in hand, Chazmo's
heartfelt farewell is abruptly interrupted, leaving Tim and Sam in
shock and hilariously scrambling to maintain composure.
“Totino’s Pizza Rolls promised fans a humorous, memorable Big
Game ad debut, and we’re delivering,” said Blake Holman, Business
Unit Director, Totino's. “We’re proud to partner with Tim, Sam,
Zach, and Alice to create an ad that will leave you hungry for more
from the brand as we continue to expand nationally.”
Totino’s Pizza Rolls is also bringing back “Hang Time,” its
first Spanish-language ad for the Big Game. The spot will air as a
separate Spanish-language ad on Fox Deportes and Telemundo during
February’s Big Game.
“Chazmo Finally Goes Home” was brought to life by General Mills
in partnership with Dentsu Creative, UM, Edelman, and The Social
Lights. Fans can stock up on Totino’s Pizza Rolls ahead of Sunday’s
game and check out the spot now on YouTube, plus follow along for
more fun by visiting Totinos.com and keeping up with @Totinos on
