Timothée Chalamet for Cash App

Timothée Chalamet is the face of Cash App in this funny commercial that features some hilariously rare vegetables-and an owner who only accepts equally rare forms of payment, like cattle and seashells. Chalamet soon finds himself caught in an argument when the owner's son suggests switching to modern payment methods like Cash App. As far as commercials go, the storyline isn't particularly new-I've seen similar premises many times-but I really enjoyed the "rare veggies" twist. It added a fresh and genuinely comedic touch to the ad.

Here's another amusing ad starring Timothée Chalamet, and by now he's the king of fun ads and manages to make people to talk about them. Cadillac, Chanel, Apple and now this one for Cash App which took film viewers by surprise as it popped in during cinema trailers and later hit the internet, and by then a few clueless minds believed it was some strange short film to be released with more scenes. The fintech commercial revolves on the film star trying to buy fruits at a family-store but he's told the shop only accepts a different kind of currency, dating back the primitive years of exchanging goods rather than trading money.

The teenage son's owner (Izaac Wang) is the one who tries to help the situation and convince his old father to embrace new technologies and new forms of payment.

Funny and intelligent with both the small action of everything and its dialogues, the ad knows how to present the relevance of its product in a fine manner while comparing different times and scenarios (a distant past versus the present with business being conducted through quick technological methods), and the humor becomes the key element for that and our great memories about it. Chalamet carrying the giant jackfruit is hilarious just as his bewildering expressions while inside that store. Guess things went easier when it was just a peach. Just kidding. The ad was pretty cool. 9/10.
