Google Pixel Super Bowl commercial: Inside the magic eraser ad with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Amy Schumer image

Apparently, Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't have to worry about getting put on a poster anymore. 

That's according to Google Pixel's 2023 Super Bowl commercial featuring the NBA star alongside comedian Amy Schumer. The company's new "magic eraser" technology allows users to edit unwanted features out of photos, including getting dunked on in an NBA game.

The 60-second spot will air Sunday during Super Bowl 57 between the Chiefs and Eagles. Here's an early look at the ad:

The ad begins by showing how users can employ the magic eraser to remove unwanted things from the backgrounds of their photos, including peeing dogs, strangers in Speedos and even ex-boyfriends.

It then cuts to Schumer sitting on a couch. She's stunned to learn that she can now remove her exes from her photos.

We then see Giannis, who is at the mic for a press conference. 

"Giannis, what about that dunk in the third quarter?" a reporter asks.

"What dunk?" Giannis replies after removing himself from a photograph of Jaylen Brown dunking all over him. 

For the record, that dunk did, in fact, happen, during last season's NBA playoffs. Brown went up for a putback slam on the Greek Freak during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

He may be able to remove it on his phone, but unfortunately for him, he'll never be able to remove it from the rest of the internet. 

The Google Pixel spot will air Sunday.
