Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Super Bowl Commercial Using Deaf Actors

Sun 12 Jan 2020

In 2008, PepsiCo aired an unusual commercial. It featured two deaf actors having trouble finding their friend Bob's house to watch the Super Bowl. They are late–and neither character knows which house belongs to Bob. How they solve their problem is delightful to watch! By the way, the video has no soundtrack.

Watch the video.

I wish I could see what you see up there in that blue, blue sky.

If they knew me a little better, they would see that I'm not that different.
