On Feb. 7, 2021, reigning four-time Fittest Woman on Earth® Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and five-time CrossFit Games veteran Josh Bridges appeared in an Oikos Pro yogurt commercial, which was was live-streamed (not on network television) during Super Bowl LV. The commercial, which touts the high-protein yogurt as a product that may appeal to athletes, pokes fun at the faces athletes make when grinding through heavy lifts — like back squats, bench presses, and muscle-ups — in the gym. Although the song (“Ugly Face” by Mizta CEO) that accompanied the commercial included the lyrics “Let me see you make that ugly face,” the social media hashtag that was paired with the product was #PROFACE.
Check out the video below from Oikos Yogurt’s YouTube channel. Bridges is seen grimacing while hoisting a loaded barbell overhead at the eight-second mark. Toomey appears towards the end at 24 seconds. The commercial also features America Ninja Warrior competitor Angela Gargano performing a pull-up at the 13-second mark:

The Super Bowl itself was a relatively one-sided affair as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cruised to a convincing victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The final score was 31 to 9. With that win, Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl ring.
