Typically serious Victoria Beckham praised for new ‘hilarious’ self-deprecating commercial

Victoria Beckham has been hailed as a ‘comedic genius’ after poking fun at her ‘working class’ background in a new Super Bowl commercial.

Last year the former Spice Girl, 49, starred in the Netflix documentary series Beckham alongside her husband David.

In one stand-out moment, Victoria, who was known as Posh Spice during her time in the girl group, got a telling-off by her husband after he overheard her speaking to cameras about her family’s apparently humble beginnings.

Speaking to the interviewer, Victoria said: ‘We’re very, very working class.’

Opening a door and poking his head into the room, David urged his wife to ‘be honest’ before forcing her to share her dad owned a Rolls Royce, which can cost upwards of £252,000.

The couple have now recreated the exchange for an Uber Eats ad, which will air in full during the Super Bowl on February 11.

In the teaser,Victoria is wearing a T-shirt that declares: ‘My dad had a Rolls-Royce.’

In the 35-second clip, they have a similar interaction to the one in the documentary with Victoria telling the camera: ‘David and I are going to be in a little commercial.’

David then appears from behind a wall to tell his wife to ‘be honest’.

She continues: ‘Okay, it’s a big commercial’, before her husband tells her to reveal more.

Victoria then reveals that the commercial will air during the ‘big baseball game’, actually referring to the Super Bowl, which is the National Football League’s annual championship game in America.

They then jokingly mistake the game again, saying it’s the ‘hockey bowl’ they’ll feature in.

David then urges her to share details ‘about Jessica Aniston’, seemingly in reference to Friends star Jennifer Aniston, to which his wife says: ‘Jessica Aniston is going to be in it too.’

The video ends with the words: ‘Whatever you forget this Sunday, remember Uber Eats.’

Fans thought the ad was hilarious, with Nicole Michalik commenting on Instagram: ‘Whoever came up with this deserves a raise.’

‘Victoria Beckham = comedic genius,’ user Spice Girls Net shared.

Another user, mcgowancherish, added: ‘You two are a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. Oh, and Jessica Aniston, too.’

Others labelled the pair ‘iconic’ and ‘so much fun’.

The ad comes two months after Victoria decided to first capitalise on the public’s love for their hilarious chat.

In November the fashion designer posted a photo of herself wearing a white shirt to her social media accounts and wrote ‘available now’ with a link to her website.

‘I can’t fight it anymore, yes my dad drove me to school in a Rolls Royce! Kisses David Beckham xx Shop the exclusive Slogan T-Shirt now!’ she wrote, whilst also sharing a clip of their exchange from the series.
