Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Drew Barrymore and Tua Tagovailoa make their anti-throwing Arnold stances very clear in the commercial. Still, Sir Patrick Stewart overrules them and rips off his jacket, showing off a personalized, vintage football uniform. As he prepares to throw Arnold, Creed band members Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti begin their song "Higher." Stewart throws Arnold toward the top of the rock face and sings his own lyrics to the song. Thomas Lennon as his "Reno 911" character and Jeff Probst from "Survivor" perform air guitar, and Barrymore hesitantly sings along.

Sadly, Arnold doesn't make it over the mountain. But he flashes a thumbs up and provides a weak, "I'm good." Another cartoon, Peppa Pig, looks uneasy when she becomes the next candidate to be thrown. 

The wild commercial's reception has been positive so far. One fan on X, formerly Twitter, replied to an upload of the commercial and remarked how the advertisement needed Uncle Rico from "Napoleon Dynamite" (played by Jon Gries) at the end due to his character's insistence that he can throw a football that high. Another said, "First time Picard has come up short," referring to Stewart's "Star Trek" character. In the YouTube video comments, one fan pointed out a possible plot hole: "I'm surprised no one brought up the fact that Knuckles is a climber who could easily scale the wall in seconds."
