Coke Zero’s “Mean Troy” ad airing during Super Bowl XLIII features Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Polamalu mimicking the iconic “Mean Joe Greene” Coca-Cola commercial from 1979 – with a surprise twist.

In the original commercial – listed as one of the top ten commercials of all time by TV Guide magazine, a child (Tommy Okon) gives Joe Greene a coke, prompting “Mean” Joe to smile and give the kid his game jersey.

So what happens in the new ad with “Mean” Troy?

UPDATE: Full Mean Troy Commercial below.

The surprise ending won’t be revealed until the game, but you can check out the teaser video and behind-the-scenes footage, hear what Joe Greene has to say about Troy’s remake, and take a more in depth look behind-the-scenes in the videos below.

We have also included the original Mean Joe Greene Coca-Cola ad, and we will update with the full Mean Troy Coke Zero commercial video as it becomes available.
