Football fans have expressed significant displeasure with Matthew McConaughey's newest commercials for Uber Eats, which began airing on January 25. The 30-second spots, notably featuring a playful rivalry with Bradley Cooper, include McConaughey repeatedly shouting "food" with varying intonations. This particular aspect of the advertisements has drawn widespread criticism online, with many viewers describing the commercials as "maddeningly annoying" and "unbearable."
Social media platforms were inundated with negative comments during the AFC Championship game. Many users expressed their frustration, with some stating the ads made them reconsider using delivery services altogether. The backlash contrasts sharply with the positive reception McConaughey received for his Uber Eats debut during the 2025 Super Bowl. Despite the predominantly negative feedback, a small segment of viewers found the commercials entertaining and appreciated McConaughey's presence.
Additional ads rolled out on January 26 via YouTube, featuring McConaughey in various scenarios including discussions about sports' role in food advertising and interrogating mascots. These further additions to the campaign continued to spark conversation, though largely dominated by the previously established negative sentiment surrounding the commercials' perceived annoyance factor.
