Cher turns back time with Uber Eats ad, making for another iconic addition to her commercial past
Cher just found out what happens if she could turn back time, and spoiler alert: it’s not good.In a hilarious new Uber Eats commercial for Australia, the pop queen primps while listening to her 1989 hit, “If I Could Turn Back Time.” Naturally.
Suddenly, a time machine is hand-delivered to her front door, and she immediately knows what golden era to revisit: “Take me back to the ’80s.”Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Unfortunately, she wasn’t clear enough, because she winds up in the colonial 1680s. (Honestly, Back to the Future is shaking.)Watch.After the mysterious poof, the 78-year-old is as bewildered as the villagers who surround her, straddling a well-placed cannon as they sharpen pitchforks.One woman stares in astonishment, remarking that “she’s both young and old at the same time,” while another quickly accuses Cher of being a witch.The singer snaps back, “I’m not a witch, I’m an icon,” a line that would gag the gays, but doesn’t impress the townspeople.Within seconds, they mobilize to burn her at the stake — after stealing her sparkling high-heeled boots, LOL — and the minute-long spot ends with a reminder that Uber Eats can’t turn back time.
