Australia 'wins the Super Bowl' with star-studded ad
The Philadelphia Eagles may have taken home the 2018 Super Bowl title over the New England Patriots, but in the minds of some viewers, Australia won the day.
During a Super Bowl commercial break, an ad to promote Tourism Australia aired and many are going crazy for it.
The ad is an ode to true-blue Aussie film Crocodile Dundee and stars some favourite homegrown celebrities including Chris Hemsworth, Margot Robbie and Hugh Jackman.
It's also estimated to have cost an eye-watering $AU38 million to create, so you'd hope it made a mark on the 110 million-strong TV audience.
"Australia just won the Super Bowl," one viewer wrote on Twitter. "We can all go home now."
Australia just won the Super Bowl. We can all go home now. #SB52 #SuperBowlAd

It seems like the ad was doing its job as one person declared they were now planning a trip because of it.

In the ad named Dundee: The Son Of A Legend Returns Home, comedian Danny McBride portrays the original Dundee’s clueless American son, Brian, who finds himself in the presence of our very own Chris Hemsworth on his home turf — the great Australian Outback.
