Named “Call Me Downy McBride,” the Downy Super Bowl ad 2023 was created by the advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi. It features the American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer Danny McBride.
Aaron Stoller directed the spot through Biscuit.
Fun fact: Many people noticed that the hands differed from Danny McBride’s in the teaser clips. In the teasing clips, the hands were younger, they had no hair and no ring.
