The group, led by Ken Jeong as an eccentric Chicken, crashes the life of a player, injecting fun into his daily routine. From job interviews to toilet stalls, celebrities are on a mission to bring joy to their fan. Directed by Jody Hill, the commercial culminates in a comical Carpool Karaoke-esque performance of Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me.”
Squad Busters offers epic 10-person multiplayer matches where players build squads and compete to collect gems. The game, designed for both casual and competitive gamers, features characters from the Supercell universe and is available for all mobile devices.
The Hollywood gang, while quipping about Ricci’s skeleton-summoning staff, encounter another player’s squad whose characters are played by Internet sensations including TikTok superstar Bella Poarch as Witch, real-life woodcutter Thoren Bradley as Greg, lip-syncing legend Gabriela Moura as Shelly and YouTube extraordinaire ZHC as Chicken.
In a knowing wink to the viewer, Seth Phillips, better known as Dude With Sign, makes a brief cameo during the battle to ‘appeal to a younger audience’.
Squad Busters is Supercell’s first global game launch in over five years and has been highly anticipated. According to the company’s internal analysis and as of today, the game has achieved 40 million pre-registrations*, making it the fastest ever mobile game to reach that milestone. This blew away Supercell’s internal targets for the launch, with the company anticipating the game to follow in the footsteps of its previous hits – Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars – by generating more than $1bn in lifetime revenue.
Ilkka Paananen, CEO of Supercell, said: “After an incredible response to the global announcement of Squad Busters, we’re thrilled that players worldwide will all now be able to enjoy the game! Our game teams have a massively high-quality bar for releasing new games, which on the flip side means they kill most of the games they work on. This has meant we haven’t launched a new game for over five years. That’s why this moment, the launch of Squad Busters, feels so special! I want to thank the Squad team for their amazing work, which has led to releasing a new, incredibly fun game for our players worldwide to play.”
“To mark this launch, our team wanted to create a show-stopping moment, so it felt fitting to have Hollywood icons face off against social media stars in a fun way, showing that life really is more fun when you’re with a squad!”
Fans across the world with iOS and Android devices can download the game now.

This is the second article I’ve read about this 5 min. ad and neither one of them mentioned actor Dolph Lundgren playing the second Barbarian King. Lol.
