Matthew Broderick in an ad that will run during the Super Bowl.

Matthew Broderick is reprising his most famous film character, Ferris Bueller, for a Super Bowl commercial.

The actor shot to fame playing the high school student in the 1986 comedy classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and now a mysterious video posted on YouTube.com indicates he's bringing back the famous slacker.

In the 10-second clip, Broderick wakes up and draws open the curtains before remarking, "How can I handle work on a day like today?" - echoing his famous Bueller line, "How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?"

The caption for the video states, "We hate to be such a tease, but on a day like today, we just have to. Stick it out until the Super Bowl, or take a 'day off' on Monday and catch the big reveal."

The company behind the advertisement is expected to be unveiled during the Super Bowl telecast on February 5.
