Macaulay Culkin is 'Home Alone' again in bandit-free Google Assistant commercial
An all-grown-up Macaulay Culkin doesn’t even need to use his hands to get shaving assistance (this time for real), as well as set reminders, and fend off old foes in a brilliant new Google commercial.
Using a Google Home Hub smart display, Pixel 3 phone, Home Mini smart speaker, Nest Cam Outdoor security camera, Nest Learning Thermostat, and a bunch of other Google Assistant-supporting smart home accessories, Culkin manages to relax, get plenty of stuff done, and even put “operation Kevin” in motion while referencing a number of iconic scenes and lines from the surprise box office hit that propelled the former child actor to global fame nearly three decades ago.
Basically, Google seems to have hit the advertising jackpot here, delivering an entertaining, timely, nostalgia-evoking commercial that highlights the strengths of its products efficiently and in a non-intrusive way.
The only thing that could have made this better is a Joe Pesci cameo. Or at least a surprise appearance by recent Golden Globe nominee Kieran Culkin. Oh, well, there’s always next year.
