International pop icon Cher has once again captured the hearts of fans worldwide with her latest appearance in a brilliantly comedic ad for Uber Eats. Known for her timeless music and captivating personality, Cher brings humor and nostalgia to the forefront in an advertisement that playfully explores the consequences of turning back time.
The commercial, inspired by Cher’s iconic 1989 hit song "If I Could Turn Back Time," premiered in Australia and quickly gained popularity for its creative storyline. The ad opens with Cher casually singing along to her famous track, before she playfully decides to search for a "time machine" using the Uber Eats app on her phone.
With a cheeky twist, the Uber Eats time machine transports Cher not to the 1980s as intended, but much further back in time to a bustling village of the 1680s. Upon her arrival, she is met with bewildered villagers who scrutinize her modern appearance and declare that she looks "both young and old at the same time," sparking accusations of witchcraft.
In true Cher fashion, she wittily retorts, "I’m not a witch, I’m an icon," as more villagers gather around, captivated by this mysterious stranger from the future. The scene humorously escalates as Cher finds herself hilariously tied to a stake, facing the prospect of being burned as a witch. Nearby, one of the villagers is seen sporting her signature sparkly black high-heeled boots, adding to the absurdity of the situation.
Back in the present day, the commercial concludes with Cher safely at home, cooking her Uber Eats order. The clever tagline "Time machine? No. Thyme? Yes." wraps up the ad with perfect comedic timing, leaving viewers both amused and charmed by the pop legend’s willingness to poke fun at herself.
Fans and critics alike have praised Cher for her comedic timing and her ability to embrace humor, a quality that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries. "Cher is also a star as a comedian," one fan commented, while others applauded her for having a light-hearted approach to her legendary status.
The singer explained in an interview on Uber Australia's website that she receives numerous offers to appear in commercials but was particularly drawn to this project due to its "creativity and hilarity." Cher, known for her vibrant charisma and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, further endeared herself to fans by showing her fun side in this unforgettable advertisement.
"I sincerely hope Uber will get me back my boots," Cher jokingly added, referring to the borrowed footwear that played a memorable part in the ad.
This humorous campaign not only highlights Cher’s enduring appeal but also showcases her role as a staunch ally to the LGBTQ+ community, a theme that resonates with many of her fans. By seamlessly blending humor with her iconic status, Cher continues to inspire and entertain audiences of all ages.
