TV writer Bryan Behar tweeted: “Will Ferrell raging at Norway & punching a globe: first Super Bowl commercial I’ve laughed out loud at in years. Well done, GM. Or whoever it was for. I just remember Norway. #SuperBowl.” Houston Sports Anchor Rex Castillo tweeted: “Will Ferrell vs Norway, the rivalry I never knew I needed #SuperBowl.” As Mashable so eloquently tweeted: “Will Ferrell’s Super Bowl ad will make you want to fight Norway.”
Ferrell has been into electric vehicles (EVs) since he bought one 15 years ago. “I was always fascinated by the technology and living in LA,” he told People. “I think my first one only had a range of 60 to 80 miles, but I actually found it to be such a pleasurable way to drive. And you also just felt good about driving because you were doing something nice for the environment.”
