After an awkward pause, Butterfield asks him, “Do you go places?” De Niro once again responds in the affirmative.
Butterfield says he, too, enjoys going places: “I love places. I go— went to this place, just well, just now.”
“Which place is that? Here?” De Niro asks. Butterfield replies, “Yeah. I was there and then, and now I’m here."
“You were there and you came here? Wow.” De Niro says. “Look at that. We both eat food and we both go places.”
Their common interests established, music swells as Butterfield says in a voiceover, “And that’s when I knew, I was gonna be best friends with Robert De Niro.”
The commercial shows the pair doing a variety of activities together, including riding in the back of a car, where Butterfield shows him all about Uber One, a subscription service that offers perks like discounts on Uber rides and Uber Eats food delivery.
De Niro and Butterfield then take their Uber to go shopping at a boutique where they try on clothes. After that, they get smoothies and play on swings in a park before eating more takeout at an apartment and playing ping pong.
While the Uber driver looks on from the rearview mirror, Butterfield shows De Niro how to use photo filters, adding cat ears to one of their selfies. “We can be cats. I mean, not really, but…” says Butterfield.
“But why would you wanna be a cat? You’re human,” De Niro deadpans. “Cats should wanna be humans.”
