Along with being a huge college football fan, Gillis is a huge Bud Light fan, so it was a natural partnership.

The first ad is titled, "The Dean's Office."

"As a passionate college football fan himself, Shane was the perfect partner to connect to our college football audience with his distinct style of humor," Todd Allen, Bud Light’s senior vice president of marketing, said in a statement.

"And it doesn’t hurt that (Gillis) loves a Bud Light or two on gameday."

If you need to catch more of Gillis while waiting for your favorite team to take the field, his YouTube comedy special "Shane Gillis: Live in Austin" is currently streaming and has more than 31 million views.

Gillis's comedy series Tires is also streaming now on Netflix.
