Uber Eats' Eat Local advertisement reunited the Wayne's World duo, while featuring a celebrity cameo from Cardi B. Nearly 30 years after the film premiered, Uber Eats brought the pair, played by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey back together. Emphasizing 'local access' in the term local access radio, this ad helps to promote the idea of eating local through the food delivery app.
In addition to the nostalgic set and characters, this ad takes on a meta tone to playfully joke about common Super Bowl tropes. The pair joke about not using celebrity cameos, right before Cardi B appears to spread the message of eating local. Later in the ad, the characters hold adorable babies, and humorously utilize sex appeal.
