Matthew Mcconaughey Stars in New Lincoln Commercials

Posted by Poquet Auto on Sep 29, 2015 11:00:09 AM

Last year, Matthew Mcconaughey became the face of the Lincoln Motor Company (Ford’s luxury automobile brand) in a series of brooding, introspective commercials.

The commercials were intended to be serious, but some people felt Mcconaughey was just a bit too serious. Both Ellen DeGeneres and Jim Carrey thought he should lighten up, so they did parodies of the commercials.

The first commercial features Mcconaughey’s laid-back musings about a bull standing in the middle of the road. The wind sweeping across the road and the reflective music are supposed to give it an epic, other-worldly feel.

Ellen DeGeneres spoofed this commercial by inserting herself into the backseat of the car and adding some “missing” lines.

Here’s the original plus DeGeneres’ version:

In the next commercials, Mcconaughey is broody and reflective again as he drives down a lonely, moodily lit road. Jim Carrey - impressionist extraordinaire - does a brilliant imitation of Mcconaughey in series of mock Lincoln ads that appeared on Saturday Night Live.

Check out the original:

And Carrey’s parodies:

The Oscar-winning actor signed up for another series of Lincoln commercials that have just aired. Here’s one of them:

Do you think it’s as spoofable as the last ones? Let’s wait to see what DeGeneres and Carrey think…..
