Marshawn Lynch works out with Skittles in new commercial (Video)
By Dan Zinski
Marshawn Lynch has made Skittles something that will forever be tied to his career, so naturally he’s getting paid to sell the candy by appearing in a new ad. But the ad is so much more than that, it’s something that will inspire you to get off your couch and go get some sugar filled candy.

I can just imagine how the meeting went when they dreamed up this ad.
“We need something that shows Marshawn Lynch being a beast. Beast mode! But with Skittles. Those are the two things: Marshawn Lynch is a beast and Skittles.”
“I’m on it boss,” Peggy Olson proclaimed with girlish enthusiasm.
“Yeah you get on that toots,” smirked Roger Sterling, lighting up his fifteenth Lucky Strike of the meeting.
“HOW COME NOBODY RESPECTS ME I’M IMPORTANT TO THE COMPANY DAMN YOU!!!” screamed Peter Campbell out of nowhere.
“Um, what’s up with all you drunk, chain-smoking white people?” asked Marshawn Lynch, cowering in the corner like a terrified pre-schooler.
Oh don’t worry Marshawn, you just fell through a time warp of the imagination. What ever you do, don’t go drinking with Don Draper.
Just then, Joan Holloway sauntered into the room, and I do mean sauntered.
“Hmmm…” thought Marshawn Lynch. “This bizarre scene is starting to get good.”
BUT WHAT THE HELL DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SKITTLES???
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Megan was wearing the hell out of a head scarf, but still couldn’t shake that creeping feeling of ennui.
“I know,” thought Megan to herself, “I’ll put on a really short skirt and flip angrily through a magazine!”
Cool commercial though. Good job Peggy.
