Ben Stiller takes male model Derek Zoolander out for a spin in the Super Bowl commercial for Pepsi Zero Sugar.
“This is really, really ridiculously good-tasting,” Stiller says in a nod to the character he debuted in the 2001 movie “Zoolander” he directed and starred in, which was followed by “Zoolander 2″ in 2016.
The ad (see extended version below), released Wednesday, also sees the actor-director inhabit various other roles that aren’t from his filmography.
“Saturday Night Live” alum Rachel Dratch makes an appearance as a woman another of his characters is proposing to — she gets so excited she falls out of her chair and kicks him in the face.
Last year, Jim Carrey reprised the role of Chip Douglas from Stiller’s 1996 movie “The Cable Guy” in a Super Bowl commercial for Verizon.
This Sunday, Steve Martin also stars in a Super Bowl ad for Pepsi Zero Sugar using the same “Great Acting or Great Taste?” theme (see second video below).
Is the soda really that great or are they “just acting?”
“Only way to find out is to try it yourself.”
