Watch: Giants Channel Reality TV in Schedule Release

On Wednesday night, the New York Giants' schedule was revealed, giving fans the time and date for each of their regular-season games.

Some fans found out early, as the schedule leaked on social media, and others stayed tuned for 8 p.m., when the league made a show out of the schedule release. (It’s incredible what the league can monetize these days.)

For those conveniently scrolling on Wednesday evening, they may have found New York’s schedule release video.

Fans can watch the Giants' reality-television-inspired video here.

Seemingly based on the British reality show “Love Island,” New York “meets” each of its opponents in an over-the-top introduction.

Of course, the Giants were happy to poke fun at their division rivals. The Philadelphia Eagles (Weeks 6 and 8) were portrayed as an obnoxious… Philadelphian who is happy to boast about the “tush push.” The Dallas Cowboys (Weeks 2 and 18) are played by an old cheerleader trying to relive the glory years of the 1990s. For the Washington Commanders (Weeks 1 and 15), New York pokes fun at their perpetual branding issues, having had three names in the last decade and another change never too far away.

The Giants also took not-so-subtle shots at a handful of famous figures connected to the football world.

They kicked things off with the Kansas City Chiefs (Week 3) with a Taylor Swift wannabe whose favorite animal happens to be a zebra, a predictable play given the AFC dynasty’s reputation. A Bostonian dressed like Bill Belichick who is self-proclaimed as past his prime represents the New England Patriots (Week 13). Unsurprisingly, Eminem’s style was replicated for the Detroit Lions (Week 12). For the Chicago Bears (Week 10), the fan looks like franchise legend Mike Ditka.

The Green Bay Packers (Week 11) fan falls in (Jordan) Love, and the Minnesota Vikings (Week 16) fan was a little too nice

New York’s video also showcased an outdoorsman (Denver Broncos, Week 7), a scary but soft Las Vegas Raiders fan (Week 17), a nerd meant to be San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan (Week 9), and a partygoer for the New Orleans Saints (Week 5).

The Giants will play the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and New England Patriots in the preseason.
