Commercial success- that’s what Dave and Joe Herbert of Batesville have found. And their path to success came (literally) through a commercial.

They’re the winners of last year’s Doritos “Crash the Super Bowl” contest- two regular guys who made a TV commercial that turned out to be the best Super Bowl ad of the year! You remember their commerical- the one where they throw a magic eight ball through the vending machine? Well they won a million dollars for that commercial- and it helped jump start their careers in the industry. Now they’re headed back to the Super Bowl to help host this year’s commercial contestants- six of them vying for three spots on national TV Super Bowl night.

Dave and Joe joined us live this morning on GMI- and shared some of the secrets of their success.

Turns out, they didn’t watch a lot of TV growing up. Their parents wouldn’t let them. Instead, for every minute playing a video game or goofing off- they also had to spend time outside, or writing, or coloring, or painting. And look how creative they turned out to be… creative enough to crash the Super Bowl.
