Stiller starts off “as actors, in a way, we never really stop acting”, before Martin cuts him down by saying “for example, Ben is acting right now like he’s not intimidated by standing next to me”.
Stiller then shoots back “and Steve’s acting like he’s not lucky to be here”, prompting him to reply “oh, and Ben’s acting like that whole awkward thing he does is a character and not his actual personality”.
The Tropic Thunder star snips at Martin by calling him a “banjo player” in reference to his longtime devotion to the instrument, and the Naked Gun star hits back by branding Stiller a “nepo baby”.
The advert ends with the pair agreeing they are both fans of each other’s work. Stiller asks Martin if he really meant it, and the actor jokes: “I was acting.”
The commercial is among a slew of celebrity-packed adverts which will race the airwaves during the Philadelphia Eagles’ clash with the Kansas City Chiefs on February 12.
