Intertextuality

Intertextuality—Peyton Manning Sprint Commercial

Although this might not suffice for the homework assignment, I figured it was worth a try.

In this commercial, Peyton Manning is dressed as another man (meaning he has hair and facial hair) talking about/promoting Sprint. While doing so, this “unknown” man is wearing Peyton Manning’s uniform. This “unknown” man (in real life, Peyton Manning) wearing that jersey, makes the audience think of football and Peyton Manning.

Also later in the commercial, he is holding a phone that shows football and he mentions himself and compliments himself. The whole commercial is a text/advertisement for Sprint, but it makes you think of Peyton Manning and football.
