Will Ferrell Returns to PayPal Stage with Hilarious Ad Remake

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) has released a new advertisement featuring comedian Will Ferrell, following their successful collaboration in 2024. The ad, which will premiere during the basketball playoffs, features Ferrell in a humorous rendition of Fleetwood Mac‘s classic song ‘Go Your Own Way,’ promoting PayPal’s diverse payment options.

The national debut showcases Ferrell’s comedic talent and musical interpretation, illustrating how consumers can utilize various payment methods with PayPal. Shoppers can pay using a debit card, credit card, bank account, PayPal balance, or through the Buy Now Pay Later feature. Ferrell enthusiastically displays his payment options while suggesting everything from a pack of hair curlers to plane tickets and even nacho deliveries, all the while singing, ‘you can pay your own way.’

“It all started with a song about paying where you want. And here we are—crooning about paying the way you want,” said Ferrell. “Credit card? Sure! Debit? Go for it. Pay later? Why, of course! Monopoly money? Not quite, but I’m working on it. It’s great to partner with PayPal again; not only has it made me a smart shopper, but the ads are cementing my reputation as the greatest singer of all time.”

This latest campaign illustrates PayPal’s ongoing commitment to enhancing consumer experiences at checkout. Recent improvements include biometric logins, faster page load times, and pre-qualified spending amounts for the Pay in 4 service. Additionally, the ad highlights the benefits of using the PayPal Debit Mastercard® with mobile wallets, which allows customers to earn 5% cash back on up to $1,000 spent in selected categories each month, including a newly introduced Rideshare and Public Transit category.

Geoff Seeley, Chief Marketing Officer at PayPal, said, “We’re thrilled to pick up where we left off with Will, taking customers on another playful journey that shows them the choice and flexibility they have when using PayPal Checkout. We’re at a transformative moment for the brand, and we’re leaning into levity and humor to keep PayPal top of mind for consumers making checkout choices throughout the day.”

Alongside the new advertisement, PayPal is launching a broad marketing initiative that encompasses out-of-home advertising, digital platforms, streaming, radio, podcasts, influencer collaborations, and social media to engage consumers and broaden their understanding of payment options.
