The DunKings: Extended Cut of Super Bowl Ad Released and Song ‘Don’t Dunk Away at My Heart’ Dropping on Valentine’s Day
When it comes to his love for Dunkin’, Ben Affleck is a legend. The actor’s affinity for the chain has been well-documented, with photos of him leaving the store with hands full of signature donuts and coffee becoming iconic memes. Last year, Affleck even starred in a Super Bowl commercial as a Boston-accented drive-thru worker, capitalizing on his fandom.
This year, Affleck returned to the Super Bowl spotlight, but this time he brought along some famous friends. In an ad that ranked No. 2 on USA TODAY’s 36th Ad Meter competition, Affleck teamed up with Matt Damon and Tom Brady to form a band called The DunKings. Despite being discouraged by rapper Jack Harlow, the trio embraced their new musical venture.
But it wasn’t just the ad that got fans excited. An extended cut of the commercial has been released on the Dunkin’ YouTube channel, giving viewers a longer look at The DunKings in action. And if that wasn’t enough, the band is dropping an entire song titled “Don’t Dunk Away at My Heart” on Valentine’s Day. Fans can look forward to streaming the catchy tune on their favorite music platforms.
The DunKings’ Super Bowl ad was a hit with audiences, and it’s no surprise considering the star power involved. Each year, USA TODAY runs an ad meter during the Super Bowl to determine the most popular commercials. This year, over 160,000 people registered to vote in the competition. The DunKings’ ad secured a spot in the top five, solidifying its success.
While Affleck, Damon, and Brady stole the show, there was another familiar face that made an appearance in the ad. Affleck’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, joined the trio, seemingly unimpressed with their musical ambitions. Her cameo added an extra layer of star power to an already star-studded commercial.
For fans of The DunKings, the extended cut of the ad and the upcoming song release are reasons to celebrate. The band’s chemistry and humor shine through in the commercial, leaving viewers wanting more. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, “Don’t Dunk Away at My Heart” is the perfect gift for fans of the band and Dunkin’ enthusiasts alike.
So mark your calendars and get ready to groove to The DunKings’ catchy tune.
