‘Grease’ is without a doubt one of the greatest musicals in the history of cinema or at least one of the founders of the genre with ‘West Side Story’. Taking place in the 50s in the US, the film tells the story of Sandy Olsson played by Olivia Newton-John, an Australian high school student who stays for the summer holidays. She meets and falls in love with Danny Zuko, played by John Travolta, the leader of the T-Birds. Unfortunately, he had to return to Australia and their love was interrupted by that.
But the plot twist, Sandy ended up living in the US, and more than that, she is now in the same high school as Danny. And that’s how the real story begins. However, we will let you watch the movie if you haven’t seen it yet. This film has launched many careers but especially John Travolta as it was one of his first big roles in the industry. Or at least, That’s what made him famous. And in 2023, our not-so-young actor decided to relive his Grease memories by playing in a parody for the Super Bowl.

Grease Myth Scene Parody For T-Mobile
The 68-year-old comedian pays homage to two things in this video where he reinterprets his hit single, ‘Summer Nights’. He paid tribute to ‘Grease’ and the song, but especially to the late Olivia Newton-John.
As for the ad itself, there’s a lot more to say. First of all, John Travolta has an outfit similar to the one he wore when he played Danny Zuko in ‘Grease’. Second, he was accompanied by Zach Braff and Donald Faison, the iconic duo from the sitcom ‘Scrubs’, and they all sang about how T-Mobile is better than other operators. You can also see how much of a smile and energy he puts into it, even though he’s still processing what happened two years ago. Because yes, this is the same scene he played with his wife in 1978.
The video has been published for just 24 hours and has already gone viral with more than 4 million views which we know is destined to keep growing since this ad was made to air during the Super Bowl, the most watched event every year in the US.
Another Social Media Reference And Reaction
At the end of the video, John Travolta strikes a special pose that is not from ‘Grease’ at all. And if you know the actor’s filmography, you know another movie with him was released a year before ‘Grease’, and it was ‘Saturday Night Fever’. He raises his arms just like in the 1977 poster, and It’s amazing.

People react in different ways to the ad. First of all, in the comments section, some people are just nostalgic about the sitcom ‘Scrubs’: “Dang, this just reminds me how much I miss Scrubs” and some others go further in the process, asking for a special event : “Scrubs revival please and make Travolta as a guest star.”
