Editor's Pick

This rap video from Grey New York for DirecTV is a perfect idea in theory: You've got two huge football stars stepping out of their comfort zone, accompanied by a somewhat annoying but still catchy song to create a Lonely Island-esque short, all with a hashtag that is sure to be used and abused by fans everywhere.

#FootballOnYourPhone promotes DirecTV's NFL Sunday to ask whether your phone should be used for calling, or for watching football, via an ostentatious, ridiculous video directed by Bryan Buckley that has already racked up over 2 million views on YouTube.
