The answer may surprise you – it was none other than actor and comedian Aziz Ansari! The commercial, which aired during the 2016 Super Bowl, features Ansari walking around New York City trying to find someone who can help him build a website.
Ansari has been a major force in the world of comedy over the past few years, starring in the popular TV show Parks and Recreation and writing and starring in his own Netflix stand-up special, Buried Alive. He’s also no stranger to the world of technology and has been an early adopter of many new platforms and apps.
In the commercial, Ansari is seen walking around New York City asking people if they can help him build a website. He eventually comes across a guy who tells him about Squarespace. Ansari then asks if he can use Squarespace to make a website about himself, to which the guy replies, “I mean, you could do that.. but why”
The commercial is a clever way to get people talking about both Ansari and Squarespace. It’s also a great example of how technology can be used to create something truly unique and personal.
