According to a new commercial, Johnny Football transforms into Johnny JamBoogie, an aerobics instructor jazzercising his way into our hearts. While the entire point of the commercial is that a bite of a candy bar has the power to get his football helmet-wearing head straight and turn his back on florescent leotard-wearing older women, we must ask — does Manziel have to choose? Dance can be an important part of any pre-game or post-touchdown routine. Signature steps can get you new endorsement deals, Manziel. Embrace the JamBoogie. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3206955/johnny-manziel-snickers-ad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3206955/johnny-manziel-snickers-ad/"},"headline":"Watch Johnny Manziel Dancercize in New Snickers Ad","datePublished":"2014-08-28T15:25:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:50.991Z","description":"Meet Johnny JamBoogie","url":"https://time.com/3206955/johnny-manziel-snickers-ad/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Advertising","Business topic","commercial"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt338507ad8d349770/6986a14313c79f2c5c193a27/screen-shot-2014-08-28-at-11-14-44-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt338507ad8d349770/6986a14313c79f2c5c193a27/screen-shot-2014-08-28-at-11-14-44-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-08-28 at 11.14.44 AM","caption":"","creditText":"Snickers","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3206955/johnny-manziel-snickers-ad/","name":"Watch Johnny Manziel Dancercize in New Snickers Ad"}}]}] ```
