Larry David stars in Super Bowl ad, convinces us to buy bitcoin.

Fans were thrilled to see Larry David in a Super Bowl ad, even if it was for a bitcoin company. On Sunday, ahead of halftime, David appeared as a man who turned down some of the best ideas in history (the wheel, the fork, electricity, etc).

And now he’s turning down bitcoin.

If that isn’t a message, we don’t know what is.

Jeff Schaffer, David’s longtime creative collaborator, talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the making of the commercial.

“One of my favorite parts was putting Larry in all of these different period costumes with period hairstyles and facial hair. Remember the old kid’s toy, Wooly Willy? It started out with a bald face and you used magnetic shavings to create different looks. We basically just Wooly Willy-ed Larry through time. My favorite of the costumes is the Elizabethan one with line about the toilet. Seeing him with that Van Dyck and that stupid hat and feather…and his leggings were totally on point along with that almost adult diaper that they were at the time with the billowy shorts. That was a favorite, and the set was beautiful so that one I really liked a lot.”
