(CNN) - The mystery behind Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller ad was short-lived, as Honda has released the extended commercial.

Although the teaser clip that circulated last week told viewers they'd have to wait until the Super Bowl to see what Broderick was up to, we should know by now that the Internet waits for no official release date.

Broderick, 49, plays himself in the clip, but with plenty of references to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

After calling in sick, Broderick takes off in the 2012 Honda CR-V for a day on the town, hitting up the beach, a parade and the Natural History museum as Yello's "Oh Yeah" plays in the background.

Here is a flashback clip to the famous parade scene in the movie:
