Broderick. Broderick.

Viral Honda ad.

And this, I guess, is meta-viral.

Chicago whines.

Sadly, Chicago is not the backdrop for the new mini-version of Ferris Bueller's latest day off -- from work.

The new Honda ad, starring Matthew Broderick, hit the internet in advance of the Super Bowl and was quickly one of the most shared videos online.

In the original movie, released in 1986, Ferris Bueller takes a day off from his suburban Chicago school and enjoys a great day in Chicago, hitting the Art Institute, going to a Cubs game and singing in a St. Patrick's Day Parade. It was shot in Chicago, River Forest, Oak Park, Northbrook, Highland Park, Glencoe and Winnetka, Lake Forest.

In the new Honda ad, Broderick calls in sick to his acting job, goes to the beach, and rides a roller coaster. It's clearly shot in Southern California.

"It's clearly shot in Southern California."

I believe that's called an upgrade.
