‘WAG (Wayne and Garth)’: Cardi B stars ‘shameless’ celebrities in the Uber Eats Super Bowl ad featuring Wayne’s World
Cardi B joined Wayne’s World stars Mike Myers and Dana Carvey for an ‘excellent’ Uber Eats ad that airs during Sunday’s Super Bowl.
The 28-year-old hitmaker WAP performed on the ‘shameless’ cameo alongside the boys, with the aim of encouraging viewers to eat places in support of restaurants fighting in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Filled with costume changes and admittedly good-natured “manipulation” tactics to attract audiences, the trio ends the commercial by playing the Wayne’s World theme song in the intentionally exaggerated ad.

The famous SNL skit, which became a subsequent film in the 1990s, presented fans with an unlikely commercial, with Myers and Carvey reprising their roles as Wayne and Garth.
True to form, the one-minute ad opens with the theme song before they tell viewers ‘like a local access program, we want everyone to support local restaurants, but we would never manipulate it like all these other commercials do’.
The video continues to include tactics like wind-blown glamor photos and mini-me babies before they say, ‘We would never shamelessly trust a celebrity cameo’ when Cardi enters.
‘Yes, eat local,’ she says in a typical Cardi intonation, before the trio nods at the popular TikTok clothing cut and swap out wardrobes with each other.

Continuing to talk about the decision to partner with the duo and Uber Eats, she told People: ‘You know I love to eat, and now we have to support our local restaurants, like The Griddle Cafe in LA So many places are fighting now , and it’s up to us to EAT LOCAL! That’s why I joined Uber Eats and my boys Wayne and Garth to help. ‘
The online delivery platform has allocated $ 20 million to help small businesses amid numerous restaurants across the country that have been forced to shut down or fire several employees since last March.
