His Deflategate suspension is behind him.

So Tom Brady has decided to make fun of the scandal.

The New England Patriots quarterback chose the new Foot Locker commercial to mock the incident that saw him benched at the beginning of the season.

The ad begins with two of the footwear store's customers heading into a restaurant carrying shopping bags.

A frustrated Brady overhears the conversation and tells them, 'You know, that's an unfortunate mindset you got there'

Brady tells the two shoppers: 'Just because something is great year after year doesn't mean anything's going on. Why can't some things just be great?'

They question how the shoe retailer's annual Thanksgiving sale - called the Week of Greatness - could continue to be great year after year.

'Kinda makes you wonder what Foot Locker's up to,' one of the men says as they sit down.

A frustrated Brady overhears the conversation and tells them, 'You know, that's an unfortunate mindset you got there.'

'Tom Brady,' the customer says, recognizing the football star.

Brady tells the two shoppers: 'Just because something is great year after year doesn't mean anything's going on. Why can't some things just be great?'

'Just a question,' the one customer tells him.

Getting agitated, Brady says: 'It starts with questions, and then questions turn into assumptions, and then assumptions turn into vacations'

He asks 'So why would you punish the Week of Greatness for something that never happened?'

He then asks: 'So why would you punish the Week of Greatness for something that never happened?'

He then gets up from the table and says 'I lost my appetite.'

The Patriots quarterback served a four-game suspension earlier this season.

It was imposed after an NFL investigation concluded the team intentionally underinflated footballs used in the 2015 AFC Championship game.

Foot Locker's vice president of brand marketing Jed Berger told ABC News: 'We like our spots to allow athletes to poke fun at themselves, and people enjoy that.

'Our fans and customers like to see these athletes as humans. I don't think anyone has seen Tom Brady like they see him in this spot.'
