Watch The Amazing Will Ferrell Super Bowl Commercial That Only Aired In Nebraska

VIDEO
» 21 comments

So, what was your favorite commercial during the game last night? Was it the one with the vampires? Yeah, that was good. The dog working out? Yeah, pretty cute. What was mine? Oh, probably the absolutely amazing Will Ferrell commercial. Wait, you didn’t see a Will Ferrell commercial? That’s weird…oh, I know. It must be because you don’t live in Nebraska which is the only place in the world it aired.

RELATED: Will Ferrell Wrote And Filmed A Bunch Of Old Milwaukee Beer Ads For Free For Some Reason

In case you forgot, back in December, we brought you the awesomely bizarre story of the ads Will Ferrell was making Old Milwaukee beer. What was so weird about it? Well, the ads were only airing in Wisconsin and, apparently, they were entirely Ferrell’s idea and he wasn’t getting paid for them. Pretty odd, huh?

It turns out that he’s still up to it and made a new ad specially for the Super Bowl and specially for Nebraska. The rest of us had to make due with a fairly poor quality version that showed up on YouTube shortly after. However, we here at Mediaite have a little TV magic at our disposal and got a nicer copy for you all.

So, in case you’re from any other place on planet earth other than Nebraska (or just want to watch it again), here it is. It aired on Nebraska’s KNOP shortly before the Halftime Report:

    Never been much of a Ferrell fan, Jon, and the comedic value of this truly escapes me. Likely, I am the one out of step here, however.

    This isn’t that amazing…

    This fake & feral Will Ferrell wasn’t balancing on a slack line in this one

    Gotta love how it cuts out before Ferrell even finishes saying the products name. Subtle!

    Make “DO.”  Not “due.”  Jesus.  Do you actually get paid to write?

    Please promise us that you’ll be the first one into Iran. You’re going to go if a war starts, right? I mean, you wouldn’t be advocating for World War III if you weren’t planning on fighting there, would you? I take all this back if you are actually active service infantry.

    You, sir, are an ignoramus. Your handle is enough to prove it.

    But going to war with Iran would not be another useless war, it would be to save the state of Israel with i believe is a noble thing. And for the record I’m not a Jew but I’m a unapologetic Zionist.

    Sorry, Englebert.  As a former English teacher, I can tell you the proper usage is “make DUE.”  It derives from an old English expression meaning that if a person didn’t have enough funds to pay the rent, for example, s/he would find some way to solve the problem and get by somehow.  Perhaps providing crops, livestock, eggs, etc. could be bartered to make up the difference, that is, to make due.  Hope that helps.  It is a common misconception and people often get it wrong.

    Should have added: “…bartered to make up the difference, that is, to make (up for what was) due.”

    Your credentials notwithstanding, your explanation of “make due” isn’t supported by anything I can find, and runs counter to every use of the phrase I’ve ever seen in journalism or literature.

    A Google search on the term “make do vs make due” will provide much discussion on the subject, including one post on a grammar blog (!) that cites the 1927 OED, elucidating that the phrase is in fact “make do.”

    Check this out:
    If I have to “make do” – that means I will get by with whatever less than ideal materials I possess.

    If I have to “make due” – I am literally making a requirement for
    something to be turned in – to a teacher (perhaps); requiring both an object that I
    am making due along with the contention ”I need to make due these papers by Friday in order to
    have grades in.”
    Peggy is certainly accustomed to making things “due.”

    Article usage: “make do.”

    It is “make do”.

    Love that, ‘bert..  “thank you for playing”.
