Christopher Walken is one of the most mimicked celebrities, as his signature stilted cadence is perhaps the most unique in Hollywood.

BMW’s Super Bowl spot takes Walken-mocking to the limit as the star drives and walks through several scenes where everyone he talks with tries to imitate him.

The 60-second spot, “Talkin’ Like Walken,” by Goodby Silverstein & Partners, will air in the first quarter of the game and highlights the BMW 5 Series, focusing on the all-electric BMW i5.

It starts with Walken’s valet, who tries to do his best impression as Walken gets into his BMW.
