For Steve Martin and Ben Stiller, there can only be one funnyman in the building.

In an E! News exclusive sneak peek at their upcoming 2023 Super Bowl commercials for Pepsi Zero Sugar, the two comedians hilariously try to one-up each other as they trade witty repartees. 

"As actors, in a way, we never really stop acting," Ben begins, prompting Steve to chime in, "For example, Ben is acting right now like he's not intimidated by standing next to me."

Not one to miss out on a good comeback, the Zoolander star quips, "And Steve's acting like he's not lucky to be here."

The Only Murders in the Building actor then replies, "Oh, and Ben's acting like that whole awkward thing he does is a character and not his actual personality." 

After more back-and-forth, the banter evolves into some playful name-calling, with Ben simply referring to the 77-year-old as a "banjo player."

Best Super Bowl Ads Ever

As a retort, Steve calls Ben—the 57-year-old son of late comedy couple Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara—a "nepo baby," poking fun at the recent debate that's seen Lily CollinsIreland Baldwin and Kaia Gerber weigh in on nepotism in Hollywood.

Jokes aside, the Saturday Night Live alums will each have their own standalone ads during the 2023 Super Bowl broadcast on Feb. 12. In addition, both Ben and Steve are scheduled to attend the big game—which will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles—at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. .

Only time will tell if they'll call a truce in their onscreen feud. After all, as seen in another E! News exclusive preview of their Super Bowl commercial, the duo can't seem to stop bickering.

"You couldn't act your way out of a paper bag," Ben tells his co-star, while Steve retorts by telling the Severance director, "You couldn't act your way into a paper bag that I was acting in."

And when Ben calls Steve a "sell-out," the Father of the Bride comedian points out in a meta moment that they're in a commercial.

"Screw you," Ben says, while Steve claps back, "Screw you, too."

Featuring a halftime performance by Rihanna, Super Bowl LVII kicks off on Feb. 12 at 4:30 PM MST.
