BUY BRYCE HARPER GOODS AND SERVICES

The neon compels you.

Bryce Harper has a new commercial for Under Armour. It’s not that unusual.

I mean, it’s jam-packed with freaky-dramatic music that makes every batting-practice swing seem like Harper just defeated Tigris of Gaul in front of a horrified Commodus. But almost every sports-related commercial is like that.

Over at the USA Today, though, the intrepid Ted Berg noticed something a little odd, and he preserved it for us all in GIF form:

Shirtless Bryce Harper liftin’ weights in a TRON afterworld. And just like that ... it’s gone.

This is almost certainly the most Bryce Harper commercial possible. The parts without the neon, I mean. It’s a 30-second-long fist bump. Get used to these kind of Harper-related moments, because you’ll be seeing them for the next two decades.

Bonus coverage: Please click the USA Today link to catch the other GIF that Berg made. It made me too uncomfortable to put here.
