GM’s Super Bowl ad reveals Will Ferrell dares US to outperform Norway

General Motors just aired its first commercial during Super Bowl 55, and now we have the answer as to why Will Ferrell doesn’t like Norway so much. If you’ve watched the teaser you’ll know the the theory I put forward was correct.

Ferrell teams up with fellow comedians Kenan Thompson and Awkwafina (Nora Lum) to travel to Norway in a bid to give the country peace of mind when it comes to the wild adoption of electric cars by the Scandinavian country . Ferrell and GM believe the United States can do a lot better. In Norway, more than half of all cars sold are electric. Here in the United States, that figure is only 4%, according to GM data. Essentially, GM wants to rally the troops home to pump them up for a series of new electric vehicles to come by 2025. You will also be able to spy on photos of the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV throughout – only two of the 30 upcoming models, according to the automaker’s current tally.

GM is getting the message across with the wacky brand of Ferrell comedy, which is hard not to appreciate, though the fact that none of the team actually ends up in Norway seems to kind of thwart the whole thing a little bit. message. Nonetheless, it’s an appropriate Super Bowl laugh that further extends the automaker’s latest iteration. Marketing message “Everyone in”. The automaker promises it’s serious about putting more Americans into electric cars, and it’s coming on the heels of the Biden administration throwing its weight behind zero-emission powertrains, too.
