Joe Pesci comes out of retirement for meta Google Assistant commercial where he watches Macaulay Culkin as the grown-up Kevin McCallister
Joe Pesci hasn't been seen in a movie since 2010, but the iconic actor has come out of retirement for a hilarious new ad for Google Assistant.
Back in December, Google Assistant debuted a new ad featuring Macaulay Culkin playing an adult version of his Kevin McCallister character from the 1990 classic Home Alone.
In a meta twist, Pesci plays himself in this ad, watching the McCallister ad, dubbed Home Alone Again, during a Super Bowl party with some friends.

The ad features Pesci having some friends over to watch the Super Bowl, when Culkin's Google Assistant ad comes on, causing him to get everyone's attention.
The 75-year-old actor, who sports a trimmed beard, a stylish chapeau hat and a black shirt, tries to explain the ad to his friends.
'He's home alone,' Pesci explains to friends during his party. 'The name of the movie is Home Alone.'

After Culkin's aftershave scene, Pesci goes on to explain that it's the same as the movie, 'Except he's big now.'
Pesci cracks up laughing when Culkin gingerly has to lower himself from the bed, holding his bad back, with Pesci stating, 'How bout that face he makes.'
The legendary actor also cracks up during the pizza delivery scene, while saying, 'I love this,' as Culkin initiates, 'Operation Kevin' with Google Assistant.

He then gets his friends ready for his 'big part' in the commercial, where his line, 'Better get outta here before somebody sees us' plays as the van drives off.
The whole party starts cheering for Pesci as the Home Alone Again ad comes to an end, with this new ad ending with one of his friends saying, 'You nailed it.'
After the 'Make Google do it' tagline is revealed, a calm Pesci ends the commercial by definitively stating, 'I nailed it. I did, I nailed it' as the Google Assistant logo is shown.

Pesci announced he was retiring from acting in 1999, but this isn't the first time he has returned to the spotlight since then.
He put in a cameo appearance in Robert De Niro's second directorial effort, 2006's The Good Shepherd and he starred in 2010's Love Ranch with Helen Mirren.
He also comes out of retirement for the upcoming movie The Irishman, which reunites him with Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese and star Robert De Niro, along with Al Pacino, which debuts on Netflix sometime in 2019.
Culkin himself even responded to the ad on Friday, taking to Twitter to say, 'I love this! But how come Pesci didn't have to get into costume?! #HeyGoogle #ad.'
