Oh...yeah.

That's what we said—or sang, really—when we saw a now greying-at-the-temples Matthew Broderick pulling back the curtains and marveling at the epic possibility of a beautiful day in a brand-new teaser making the rounds.

"How can I handle work on a day like today?" he wonders.

Is any of this ringing a bell?

Twenty-six years after his last day off, the 49-year-old actor is reprising the role of Ferris Bueller for...

Well, for what, exactly?

All we can tell you is that Broderick is playing everyone's favorite truant in a Super Bowl commercial this year for a brand that is playing it very close to the squiggle-printed sweater vest for now.

But we will have the full 60-second, Bueller...Bueller...Bueller-inspired-spot—featuring the big brand reveal—next week! And, of course, Super Bowl XLVI airs on Feb. 5.

Care to venture a guess as to who has saved Ferris to make its mark on the Super Bowl? And how cute is Matthew Broderick still?!
