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

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.
