Will Ferrell punches a world globe after learning a little tidbit about Norway in General Motors’ Super Bowl LV Commercial.

The Eurovision star vents his frustration about Norway being the leader in Electric Vehicles over other countries of the world, especially The United States.

“Hopefully people will have a good chuckle and then have the opportunity to think about driving an electric car and entertain that thought,” he shared with People about the commercial. “But also continue to think of ways that they can live their lives to help the environment, help with climate change, help the planet.”

Starring alongside Will in the commercial are Awkwafina and Kenan Thompson, who found a more practical way to get to Norway, but end up getting lost in a neighboring country.

GM’s “Everybody In” campaign is committing the company to bring 30 new EVs to market globally by 2025.

The 42-year-old SNL actor admitted to People that he’s a very “corny” dad in a new interview.

“I think the biggest wake up call is how immediate it is,” Kenan shared of fatherhood. “One day you’re not a dad and then the next moment you are. You’re just a dad from that point on.”

Kenan is dad to Georgia and Gianna with wife Christina Evangeline.

He adds that “my coolness just got sucked right out of me” when became a father. “I didn’t know… I didn’t even feel it, but I just immediately started wearing black socks and shorts and just being really corny at stores and over-asking questions about items that are super obvious and in my face.”
