Watch Jason Momoa Hit the High Notes With Zach Braff & Donald Faison in ‘Flashdance’-Inspired T-Mobile Super Bowl Commercial
What a feeling to have good WiFi! Zach Braff and Donald Faison have teamed up with T-Mobile for yet another musical Super Bowl commercial, this time putting their own spin on Irene Cara‘s “Flashdance… What a Feeling,” from the 1983 film Flashdance.
In the clip, the duo knock on the door of none other than fellow actor Jason Momoa, who informs them that his Super Bowl party is canceled due to cable Internet issues.
“First I had cable but those cords weren’t me/ I needed to locate new WiFi,” Braff sings to the tune of the ’80s classic, before Faison takes over: “So I switched to T-Mobile/ Home Internet with 5G/ It runs on their network/ Just plug it in and you’ll see.”
The Aquaman luminary then joins the duo for the high-energy chorus, belting with an memorable vocal run during the lyrics, “I need dwelling Internet/ From T-Mobile to fulfill my life,” before performing the iconic Flashdance wet chair scene.

Zach Braff & Donald Faison for T-Mobile
T-Mobile kicked off their 5G home internet campaign with a buzzy Big Game ad reuniting Scrubs’ co-stars and real-life best friends Zach Braff and Donald Faison.

When T-Mobile approached Zach Braff and Donald Faison to play next-door neighbors in a musical spoof on West Side Story for the telecom giant’s Super Bowl ad touting new 5G home internet, there wasn’t a lot of begging involved.
“I really wish we lived next door to each other and we could sit on our front porches and talk. It was the perfect principle for us,” Braff told The Hollywood Reporter this week of why the pair said yes. “We love to sing. We like to be silly. We love to spoof things. They couldn’t have constructed a better ad for us.”
They also love spending second together and they’ve done a lot of it after nine years together on beloved sitcom Scrubsand opposite one another on the more recent combined podcast, Fake Doctors, Concrete Friends with Zach and Donald.

She replies, "Mine too!" He asks in an accusatory tone, "Who include you been talking to?" "You," she exclaims. The tension grows as other couples go over the same discovery, with shouts of "You!" Included in the hysteria are two men in their bathroom, one shaving his face. At the end, the brand's trademark spokeswoman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, says, "Come to T-Mobile, where couples talk free."
