Will Ferrell anchors GM's electric vehicle drive in comic Super Bowl ad

摘要

Major oil producer Norway has found itself in the crosshairs of General Motors after the US automaker tasked comedian Will Ferrell to make a case for its electric vehicle (EV) push. The advertisement, which aired on 7 February during the Super Bowl, is part of a GM drive to reel in Norway's position as the world's hottest market for EVs. In the 60-second tongue-in-cheek advertisement, called "No Way, Norway", Anchorman star Ferrell enlists the help of fellow comics Kenan Thompson and Awkwafina in his battle against the Nordic oil and gas nation. Being the ever competitive Americans, Ferrell and friends set off for Norway in GM's Cadillac Lyric crossover and GMC Hummer pick-up EVs. "Well, I won't stand for it," says Ferrell while punching a globe. "With GM's new Ultium battery, we're going to crush those lugers. Crush them! Let's go America."
