To promote the addition of a bunch of Home Alone-themed skills to its Assistant software for the holiday season, Google decided to release an ad dripping with nostalgia — in which Macaulay Culkin essentially reprises his role as the young tyke left home alone in the classic early 90’s flick. Except, this time, Google’s ad depicted Macaulay reprising the role with the benefit of Google Assistant making it easier to operate things inside the McAllister home as well as to keep it secure from the Wet Bandits.
The ad was apparently enough of a hit that Google decided to make another version of it. This time around, it stars none other than Joe Pesci, who we see wistfully watching the Home Alone ad on his TV along with some friends.
