Walmart “Famous Visitors – Super Bowl Extended Cut”

In 2015, Hungry Man director Wayne McClammy changed the scale and intensity of ad parody forever with this magnum opus, and now for Super Bowl LIV he and The Mill VFX crew conjure a new level of sci-fi cameo-fest for Walmart.

By our count, guest appearances and references include Star Trek, Lego, Flash Gordon, Buzz Lightyear, Men in Black, Bill (minus Ted), Marvin the Martian, Mars Attacks, Arrival, Groot, and Star Wars.

If we missed any, leave them in the comments.
