Congrats are in order for the team at Highdive as they have garnered a 2024 Emmy nomination for their work on State Farm starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito.
The Twins costars reunited for a Super Bowl commercial earlier this year. The 90-second commercial video showcased Schwarzenegger’s struggles with his script, providing a humorous behind-the-scenes glimpse. In the video, Schwarzenegger mispronounces “neighbor” as “neighbaaa,” despite being chastised by a film director.
Schwarzenegger continues to stumble over the word as he performs various neighborly feats, including rescuing puppies and flying a helicopter. Not even Jake can assist him with the pronunciation. DeVito quickly delivers the line correctly, prompting Schwarzenegger to call him a “backstabbaaa” for stealing the spotlight. O Positive’s Jim Jenkins helmed “Like A Good Neighbaaa.” Watch below:
Other Nominees
Other nominees for the 2024 Emmy Awards include:
Michael Cera for CeraVe
In a mildly disturbing yet humorous ad, Cera promotes CeraVe moisturizer with lines like “human skin is my passion” and “let my cream hydrate you.” The ad features him creepily massaging himself and trying out a villainous laugh to ominous music. The twist reveals that Cera is pitching himself as a spokesperson to a room of unimpressed dermatologists, emphasizing the play on his name.
Robert De Niro and Asa Butterfield for Uber One
This ad shows De Niro and Butterfield becoming best friends through their shared love of using the Uber app. They engage in activities like playing ping-pong, swinging in the park, and watching cat videos. The highlight is De Niro performing a magic trick, pulling a coin from behind Butterfield’s ear.
Other nominees in the category include two commercials from “Fuzzy Feelings” and “Album Cover for Apple:
“Just Joking” ad from Sandy Hook Promise, featuring comedians Wanda Sykes, Billy Eichner, and Margaret Cho.
