Regardless of how things turn out on the field, Josh Allen has already won the playoffs on TV.

Allen, the Buffalo Bills' star quarterback, is joined by CBS commentary team Tony Romo and Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson in a hysterical commercial for Paramount+ network streaming service. The ad debuted on Super Wild Card Weekend.

In addition to Romo, Nantz and Wolfson, there's Peppa Pig, Dora the Explorer and a couple of Transformers.

In the commercial, Allen tells Peppa to go long before unleashing a monster pass.

Josh Allen and Peppa the Pig star a funny new ad for the Paramount+ streaming service. Joining Allen in the commercial are Jim Nance, Tony Romo, Tracy Wolfson, a pair of Transformers and Dora the Explorer.

"Wow, Josh Allen, what a quarterback," Nantz says to Romo, "He's got a cannon for an arm."

"Sure does partner," Romo responds.

That when the evil Decepticon Scourge from Transformers fame drops in, calls the humans pathetic, and promises to show his cannon arm, which fizzles out.

Allen shows an irritated Scourge how he warms up and Peppa innocently tells him to try turning his arm off and on.

After Scourge yells at Peppa, Nantz quips: "Wow, just folding under the pressure."

Now enraged, Scourge shoots his cannon arm at a nearby mountain and is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct by a ref.

Another Paramount+ ad that part of the company’s “A Mountain of Entertainment” brand campaign series will debut during the Super Bowl, which airs Feb. 11 on CBS, according to DigitalTrends. There's no word yet on who will be in it.

Allen, now in his sixth NFL season, has become a prized NFL pitchman, but not quite at the level of Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning ... yet. In the local market, Allen is most often seen in commercials for Buffalo-based West Herr Auto Group.

Manny Corwin said the Peppa Pig commercial is a big hit with his daughter.

"My 5 year old is the biggest Josh Allen fan. She is convinced he is her boyfriend," he wrote on Facebook, adding that she's watched the ad on YouTube "at least 10000383882 times."

On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, some think Peppa Pig is having a positive influence on Allen and the Bills this postseason:
