(CNN) - The mystery behind Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller ad was short-lived, as Honda has released the extended commercial.

Although the teaser clip that circulated last week told viewers they'd have to wait until the Super Bowl to see what Broderick was up to, we should know by now that the Internet waits for no official release date.

Broderick, 49, plays himself in the clip, but with plenty of references to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

After calling in sick, Broderick takes off in the 2012 Honda CR-V for a day on the town, hitting up the beach, a parade and the Natural History museum as Yello's "Oh Yeah" plays in the background.

Honda explains in the clip's description on YouTube that they "hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial," with some being more obvious and some that "are VERY subtle," challenging fans of the '80s film to see how many they could spot.

Here is a flashback clip to the famous parade scene in the movie:
