As everyone knows, there’s no such thing as free cable! Verizon teased fans of Jim Carrey‘s 1996 cult classic movie The Cable Guy ahead of Super Bowl LVI on Monday February 7. The 60-year-old comedic talent showed that he’d be taking on the role from the dark comedy classic in a teaser clip for the Super Bowl commercial a few days before the big game.
The teaser featured a mysterious knock at the door, and as the woman went to go look through the peephole and see who was coming to her apartment, she saw Jim’s mug through the peephole. He had a few wires over his shoulder and a collared shirt that you’d expect to see someone setting up your home with cable and internet wearing. He also announced, exactly who he was: “Cable Guy,” he called through the door. “Something big is almost here! Your internet will never be the same,” Verizon wrote in a tweet with the clip. It also used the hashtag 5G Ultra Wideband, which is probably what the company is advertising.
For those who may not remember, Jim played Ernie “Chip” Douglas, the eponymous Cable Guy of the 1996 movie. Chip is a cable provider who gets a little too attached to his customers, and starts to terrorize one of them (played by Matthew Broderick) by stalking him. While the cable guy may not be as well-known as some of Jim’s other roles, the movie features an all-star cast of comedic talent including Bob Odenkirk, Jack Black, Leslie Mann, and Ben Stiller, who also directed the movie.
