Will Ferrell’s questionable singing voice is back on full display in his latest hilarious team-up with PayPal.

The ad kicks off with the funnyman “shopping online while standing in line” to pay at a big department store.
“I just bought a croquet set using PayPal. … And PayPal let’s me choose how I pay,” he gushes to a fellow shopper before inspiration takes hold, prompting him to sing “you can pay your own way” to the tune of Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way.”
The ad then follows Ferrell as he raves about the other big ticket items PayPal helped him purchase — a plane ticket he’s paying off in four payments with no fees or interest, a natural-looking curl cream kit that he snaps up on his phone while rocking hair curlers in a bubble bath, nachos to the dock while riding an iconic swan boat at Los Angeles’ famed Echo Park Lake and more.

The ad may be hilarious, but the topic it’s promoting is no laughing matter: The Saturday Night Live alum’s antics depict the choice and flexibility consumers have while shopping with PayPal and also highlight PayPal’s easy, fast and rewarding payment options like the Buy Now Pay Later feature. You can truly “pay your own way” — anytime, anywhere!
“It all started with a song about paying where you want. And here we are – crooning about paying the way you want. Credit card? Sure! Debit? Go for it. Pay later? Why, of course! Monopoly money? Not quite, but I’m working on it,” Ferrell says. “It’s great to partner with PayPal again – not only has it made me a smart shopper, but the ads are cementing my reputation as the greatest singer of all time.”
Ferrell first teamed up with PayPal for the brand’s “PayPal Everywhere” campaign in September 2024.
“We’re thrilled to pick up where we left off with Will, taking customers on another playful journey that shows them the choice and flexibility they have when using PayPal Checkout,” said PayPal Chief Marketing Officer Geoff Seeley. “We’re at a transformative moment for the brand and we’re leaning into levity and humor to keep PayPal top of mind for the many times a day shoppers are making checkout choices.”
