Indeed, it was funny, and very well done. Yes, this does qualify 100% as a commercial.

with the little red corvette car pushed across the table...lol

And i'll go one further; He is the only artist with the class to make another commerical that aired the week after the Superbowl thanking the audience and worlds at large for the opp to perform for them.

It proves Prince is a CLASS ACT!!

Because those shows don't air after the Super Bowl on their network! Duh!

Duh I don't give a shit! If it has to do with the Super Bowl make a Super Bowl commercial. That would be better,he's never done that. But as far as a show why not what I just mention or go on Arsenio like he promised and still hasn't done yet. Why'd he ask Arsenio to save him a night for. It's always some wack shit, like that song for Happy Feet.

he did let chevy use LRC from the SOTT movie for a comecial...but not on the super bowl.

For those who keep asking "why is he appearing on this show" and questioning his promo/business choices,

"The Super Bowl is traditionally the most-watched TV event of the year, so the time slots after it are considered prime real estate."

This quote is from today's article I found while browsing for Golden Globes coverage

How Prince Secured A Guest Appearance On 'New Girl' In Super Bowl Episode

From DocFB

"He contacted us last season because he's a huge fan," executive producer Brett Baer said.

"He knows everything about the show. He contacted Zooey [Deschanel] and Hannah [Simone] directly and asked to do the show. We couldn't work it out last year. But when the Super Bowl thing was floated, it was perfect timing."

"He (Prince) said, ‘I want to be involved in the show in a real way and I want to help Nick and Jess with their relationship,'" executive producer Dave Finkel said.

"He's a Nick and Jess shipper!" Baer adds with a laugh.

"He's right in the middle of trying to help [Nick and Jess] work through some stuff and it's amazing," Baer said. "His thing was all about getting to Jess and trying to bring out this inner part of her that hadn't been brought to the forefront. The word hip tips was sort of the thing. He put it, I think I can give her some hip tips!"

"He's genuinely funny," Finkel says. "He's got a very quiet, wry sense of humor but he kills. There's a moment in the episode where he's sitting in between Zooey and Jake on a bench. And it's a silent beef and he's just looking between them trying to figure them out. And it's hilarious. He has crazy comic instincts."

"He knows that his value as a persona is doing as little as possible," Baer adds. "But those little possible moments he knows exactly how to play it and exactly how to give. You forget that he's done abunch of movies. He's directed a bunch of movies. He understands the medium. His whole thing was making sure that he was supporting Zooey and supporting Jake. It was incredible."-DocFB

Nice, but this is TV: a medium of the previous century.

Also the whole superbowl thing is mostly a US phenomenon to keep people off reality

So what will happen for the rest of the world?

he's on hannah's tip so hard.

so he's not just performing in a club....hes "acting" on the show....

New Girl is edited and cut using such quick takes that I think Prince will be ok acting on the show. They rarely stay on an actor longer than 5 seconds lol...lots of quick cuts back and forth between characters.

The appearance was covered on ABC's World News Now this morning. Apparently, Prince will spend the episode trying to get two characters back together. Whatever. I stopped watching when Justin Long joined the cast.

New Girl is going to party like it's 1999 when special guest star Prince stops by for the Fox comedy's big post-Super Bowl episode on Feb. 2.

Jess (Zooey Deschanel) bonds with the music legend after they meet at a party. "She's goofy and out there, and he's this wise, quiet sort of oracle," says creator Liz Meriwether.

But don't expect boyfriend Nick (Jake Johnson) to be jealous. "Nick's a huge Prince fan," Meriwether says. "He's immediately like, 'It's an honor to give you my girlfriend.'"

Justin Long, not Timberlake.

And he was only on for a few episodes.
