Jelly Roll’s Upcoming Super Bowl Ad is Hillarious

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Jelly Roll is teasing a new fun Superbowl commercial where he advertises for Uber Eats. He posted a clip of the new funny spot on his Instagram. In the clip, Jelly looks into a mirror and asks himself, astonished, “What happened to my face? Are these tattoos? They are everywhere.” Over the ad, these words appear: “Whatever you forget this Sunday, remember Uber Eats 2/11/24.”

He captioned the clip, “WHO DID THIS TO ME!?! @uber #ubdereats #ad.”

Many of Jelly’s fans reacted to the post, including one who wrote, “This is not only memorable but is going to go viral! Right, @ubereats ?!” Another fan said, “It was just a matter of time until you started popping up in advertisements for some major companies and corporations! Good for you, big guy. Keep leveling up, brother!” One more die-hard commented, “Bro, you’re killing it!!”

Jelly Roll recently visited the Metro Country Jail in Nashville with CBS Sunday Morning and even took the show’s host into his old jail cell. Jelly said upon entering the small cell, “This is jail; it sucks.”

He noted that the cell “still smells the same” and added, tearing up, “There was a time in my life where I truly thought, ‘This is it.’ And then, coming here after getting nominated for two GRAMMYS, it just hits differently. I didn’t think I would get emotional, to be honest. When I left here, I did have a plan.” He pointed to a small table in his former cell and said, “I wrote hundreds of songs right here.”

Jelly was in and out of jail for ten years. His first time was at age 14, for drug possession, drug dealing, shoplifting, and aggravated robbery. He said he knew that he loved music, and it was the only thing he had; it was his only “skill set.”

He even talked about his nickname, which was given to him by his mother when he was a kid. His real name is Jason Deford. He said, “If someone walked in right now and said ‘Jason,’ I wouldn’t look up.”

Jelly Roll: 5 Songs You Need To Know From 'Whitsitt Chapel'

  • "The Lost"

    An album cut that Jelly co-wrote with Miranda Lambert. In January, Lambert posted to Instagram that she made a new songwriting friend, Jelly Roll. By the looks of it, the two had a great time writing songs. Miranda posted a couple of photos to her Instagram, one with her, Jelly Roll, and a songwriter named Telenitry. She wrote, “Made a new friend this week! Jesse was right when he said we go together like biscuits and gravy! Loved writing a tune with @jellyroll615 and @telemitry.” See that post here.

  • "Halfway to Hell"

    While this song has not been released as a single to country radio, it’s well-known by fans and got a massive response when Jelly performed it at his “Backroads Baptism Tour.” The song kicks off the album, starting with a clip of a church preacher preaching, “Just save you because he gave his only begotten son.” As the music starts, the preacher continues to preach; Jelly begins the song with the lyrics, “I’m a county jail revival / I’m a bottle and a Bible / I’m a rolling stone disciple / With a cross across my face.”

  • "Save Me" (with Lainey Wilson)

    Little did Jelly know when he recorded this song with his friend Lainey Wilson that the collaboration would be nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance. The song was also recently nominated for Musical Event at the 2023 CMA Awards. In early December 2023, the song hit the top of the country music charts. They also performed the song at the ACM Awards in May of 2023.

  • "Need a Favor"

    The first number-one country song from this project, but his second number one country song overall. The first number one was “Son Of A Sinner,” which was his first country single release before he released Whitsett Chapel. The powerful and relatable lyrics include, “I only talk to God when I need a favor / And I only pray when I ain’t got a prayer / So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior, oh / If I only talk to God when I need a favor? / But, God, I need a favor,”
