Boost Mobile, part of the Sprint Prepaid Group, will air a 30-second spot during the first quarter of Super Bowl XLIV. Boost’s first-ever ad to run during the big game, titled ‘The Boost Mobile Shuffle’ will feature a parody of the iconic 1985 music video crew and reunite the original shufflers: Jim McMahon, Mike Singletary, Richard Dent, Willie Gault, Otis Wilson, Steve Fuller and Maury Buford.
The centerpiece of the ad is an off-beat re-creation of the 1985 music video using most of the players, the editing techniques and the same look as the iconic original. Legendary coach Mike Ditka also makes a special cameo appearance in the spot.
