Derek Jeter is one of a handful of athletes featured in a new Gatorade “G” commercial.
Sir Jeter the Gifted.
It’s a knockoff of “Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail” complete with livestock catapulted from a castle and a bizarre, mime pop/lock dance routine. I’m not sure what that had to do with “Holy Grail” but anyway ...
It’s a fair effort by Gatorade, with likeable athletes/pitchmen, Jeter, Kevin Garnett and (I think) Jimmie Johnson (the NASCAR driver - he’s not an athlete) dressed in goofy, ill-fitting suits of armor. Misty May and Kerri Walsh are wasted as a two-headed ... thing, a shaky nod I assume to the three-headed giant from which Sir Robin “bravely ran away.”
Most commercials are uninspired.
Bravo to Gatorade.
Here's the youtube link if you haven't seen it:

It's nearly 9 minutes long.
