Ben Stiller goes bananas in every comedic role he embodies, but this time, it’s little more literal.

The “Zoolander” actor and “Severance” director teamed up with the “Mystical Magical” singer with more flips than a home-design show, Benson Boone, for Instacart’s Super Bowl commercial. The vintage-style spot, entitled “Bananas,” was directed by Spike Jonze, who directed the movies “Her,” “Being John Malkovich” and a plethora of iconic music videos.

“What was fun about it, to me, was committing to a very specific world and, comedically, it’s fun to jump into something like that,” Stiller tells TODAY.com, adding that the combination of working with Boone and Jonze — whom he calls “one of our great American directors” — sounded really exciting to him.

“I’ve known Spike for a long time, but we never worked together, and I knew that if Spike was doing it, he was going to dial it in a super specific way, and just committing to the ridiculousness of it and the physicality of it was really fun,” he says. “I had a blast, dude.”

The pair’s star power shines throughout the 30-second spot that sees Stiller and Boone as Gary and John, heavily accented brothers and bandmates with “Dodgeball”-worthy mustaches. As with many of Stiller’s characters who become annoyed to their own detriment, his clear jealousy over Boone’s high falsetto and flapjack-like nature come to a cartoonish head.

The duo’s ’80s Europop band sings and dances to introduce Instacart’s latest in-app product innovation: Preference Picker. Starting with bananas, the new tool lets customers select their preferred ripeness — from “not ripe” to “almost ripe” to “ripe” — so shoppers can make better real-time decisions on their behalf. Hopefully, it means your “Heated Rivalry”-style smoothie will be safe from green bananas.

“It’s like, when you go into a supermarket, you can go and squeeze the fruit, make sure it’s the one you like, so I thought that this was a cool idea,” Stiller says. “And then for me, the jingle was so catchy and so, so ridiculous … It was a simple idea.”

Stiller’s Europop big brother character could fit into any one of his movies and is further boosted by Jonze’s meticulous attention to detail. The commercial was all shot on vintage tube cameras — the same kind of camera used to shoot countless variety shows like the one it emulates — to “heighten the retro disco energy” of the comedic performance.

The 60-foot, glittering stage illuminated with orange and green LED lighting was built specifically for this ad, which of course, was littered with flips — more from Stiller than Boone, it should be noted.

“First of all, let me say, if anybody’s annoyed with his flipping, it’s flip envy,” Stiller says of the discourse around Boone’s onstage persona. “Nobody could do what he does. Come on. It’s crazy. I’ve seen it up close. It’s insane.”

Stiller also says he couldn’t deny Boone’s talent when they recorded the jingle together and he “heard him go off and do his crazy run.”

“He’s just so good, and it comes so naturally to him, and he’s so young, and it just kind of flows out,” Stiller adds about Boone.

Boone said in a press release that working on a Super Bowl commercial “blew (his) mind,” and that “adding Ben Stiller to the equation” was “diabolical.”

Aside from a couple of already released teasers (“Goals” and “Harmonizing”), Instacart is also releasing Spike Jonze’s director’s cut, a long-form version of the ad, that expands the musical rivalry into a full two-plus-minute narrative arc.

The 30-second spot will air during the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8, in the first quarter in the U.S. and the second quarter in Canada.
