In a new and entertaining twist to the world of commercials, actors Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson have teamed up with Totino’s for a Super Bowl ad that is bound to leave audiences in stitches. The ad, titled “Chazmo Finally Goes Home,” features an E.T.-style alien farewell that takes a comically wrong turn.
Robinson, aged 43, and Richardson, aged 41, are no strangers to working together, having previously starred in the television show ‘Detroiters.’ Richardson has also appeared in Robinson’s sketch show ‘I Think You Should Leave,’ showcasing their well-established comedic chemistry.
The commercial, released on Wednesday, Feb. 5, commences with a heartfelt goodbye scene as Robinson and Richardson bid adieu to the alien, who is set to embark on a UFO journey with a pack of Totino’s Pizza Rolls in hand. The emotional exchange quickly takes a humorous turn when the alien’s departure unexpectedly goes awry.
In a darkly comedic twist, just as the alien expresses his gratitude for the pizza rolls, the doors of the UFO swiftly shut, leading to a hilarious yet shocking mishap. The ensuing chaos and reactions from the characters involved, including Robinson, Richardson, and a group of teens, add layers of humour to the commercial.
The commercial’s clever writing by Zach Kanin, co-creator of ‘I Think You Should Leave’ and ‘Detroiters,’ adds depth to the comedic narrative. Directed by Alice Mathias, known for her work on the Netflix sketch show, the ad marks a milestone as Totino’s first-ever Super Bowl commercial for frozen pizza products.
As with every Super Bowl, this year’s commercials are not short of star-studded appearances. Celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Charli XCX, and Martha Stewart have graced screens in various ads, adding to the excitement surrounding the event. However, Robinson and Richardson’s unique brand of humour in the Totino’s commercial stands out amidst the glitz and glamour of the advertising world.
In the midst of this entertaining showcase, General Mills and Totino’s made headlines earlier in January with the announcement of a limited edition pizza-flavoured cereal. Combining the savoury essence of Totino’s Pizza Rolls with the sweetness of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the exclusive cereal promises a fusion of bold flavours packaged in a design inspired by a classic pizza delivery box.
With their latest commercial, Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson have once again demonstrated their comedic prowess, bringing laughter and joy to audiences through their offbeat and unforgettable performances. As the duo continues to captivate viewers with their unique style, fans eagerly anticipate their future collaborations on screen.
