Before one can take over the world, there must be a world worth taking over. That's the premise for General Motors' 2022 Super Bowl commercial featuring the evil clan from the Austin Powers film franchise, which is now released in all its 90-second glory. And it's fricken funny, Mr. Bigglesworth.
GM has teased its Super Bowl ad all week, giving us snippets of Dr. Evil and his hierarchy while pointing to electric vehicles as the overarching theme. Now that we have a short movie (a mini-movie, perhaps?) of Dr. Evil taking over General Motors, the plan becomes clear. Climate change is the biggest threat to the world, making Dr. Evil the second biggest threat. And we all know how he feels about being number two, which he reveals to Number Two. We see what you did there, GM.
