The new Ferris Bueller teaser ad starts with that iconic line from the movie, "How can I handle work on a day like today?" The line of course was from the opening of the unforgettable Ferris Bueller's Day Off which was originally released in 1986. Now fast forward to 2012 and Matthew Broderick, the actor behind Ferris, is at it again in this Ferris Bueller teaser ad.
The ad depicts Broderick in a hotel gazing out a window and repeating that iconic line. Not too much is known about the ad at this point in time; there were rumblings about a sequel which seems pretty far-fetched, more likely it is for a product -- Honda is being linked. At the end of the Ferris Bueller teaser ad, it states all will be revealed on Super Bowl Sunday.
This ad has become a viral sensation, although it is not alone as far as teaser ads go. This year there have been several teaser ads all for the Super Bowl as this becomes a trend in the ad world to entice the public and gain viral notoriety.
