Marshawn Lynch talks to the media! In a Skittles commercial ...

Marshawn Lynch loves Skittles. But Lynch hates talking to the media.

Somehow, the candy folks found a way to bridge that gap with a funny fake "press conference," taking questions about football and the sugary delight.

First, he trolls the media hard by starting off his Q&A session by saying, "I'm thankful for the opportunity to have Skittles asking me questions today" — an obvious nod to his series of "thanks for asking that" responses in a press conference this past season.

It's pure farce, and it's fairly odd but mostly funny.

He's asked if he'd like to hang out with a talking rainbow, to which Lynch responded, "I wouldn't want to hang out with nobody who talks at all."

You get what he's saying, right?

And he's led through a series of ridiculous questions about watching cat videos online, 200-yard football fields and playing football on the moon. Ah yes, all right in time for media day!

We don't yet know if Lynch will speak later on Tuesday at Media Day, like he barely did (to Deion Sanders alone) last year. And frankly, some of us do not care all that much. But Lynch sure is having a lot of fun and putting in a lot of effort talking about not talking to the media, eh?
