The outspoken Dunkin’ loyalist (and official ambassador for the coffee chain) has given us some truly memorable moments on behalf of the brand
Workin’ the Drive-Thru
Affleck stepped away from his roles as actor, director and writer and picked up a shift as a drive-thru employee for the franchise in this hilarious commercial. One problem though: He didn’t tell his wife Jennifer Lopez what he meant when he said he was “going to work all day.”
Communing with the People
In this clip captured by Entertainment Tonight, we see outtakes from his drive-thru commercial where his Boston accent is thick as ever as he jokes around with Dunkin’ customers in Medford, Massachusetts.
Meeting the New Kid on the Block
After being promoted to brand ambassador, Affleck has to deal with the fact that Dunkin’ wants him to meet with another potential ambassador — Ice Spice.
A Collision of Two Worlds
In this commercial, the dedicated brand ambassador taps Ice Spice to help him “come up with a [new] drink name, but it’s not easy.” And while it seems the name of the drink is super obvious given the rapper’s name and the fact that her fan base is called the Munchkins, Affleck is not thoroughly convinced.
Ben’s Aha Moment
In his third collaboration with the “Barbie World” rapper, Affleck gets a clearer picture as to why Ice Spice is also a perfect brand ambassador.
The Wrong Identity
With two Oscars, two BAFTAs, three Golden Globes and dozens of movies under his belt – not to mention some truly iconic photos of himself with Dunkin’ in hand — one would think Ben would be impossible to miss while picking up his coffee order. Unfortunately, his best friend Matt Damon also legendarily comes from the same hometown, so the counter staff is a little confused.
This Is Him Now
In a new ad that aired during the 2024 Grammys, Affleck addresses those “Sad Affleck memes” that originated at last year’s show. Turns out, he’s merely watching and studying the life of a pop star as he plans to become a Dunkin’ fueled crossover musician.
Getting Familiar
In this short clip, Affleck enlists the help of Charli D’Amelio who, unfortunately, has no idea why or how he is influential.
Dream Chasing
In this short, standalone video, the actor shows off his rap skills. You be the judge.
Self-Awareness Is the Best Awareness
Jack Harlow tries to hint that perhaps the voice deterring Ben from his pursuits of pop stardom might actually be his voice of reason. Proving that he might be the most self-aware person around, the Argo actor responds, “Nah. I don’t have that voice, believe me.”
The DunKings in the House
It was all leading up to this: Ben Affleck crashing Jennifer Lopez’s recording session to present to her his new supergroup, the DunKings. With a variety of fun cameos, including Tom Brady on keyboards and Matt Damon serving as reluctant hype man (and Lopez extremely unreceptive to Affleck’s musical stylings), the spot was an instant classic.
‘DunKings 2: The Movie’
For Super Bowl 2025, Affleck decided to go even bigger and enlisted the help of some of Boston’s finest to take the DunKings — the coffee-obsessed boyband that included Matt Damon and Tom Brady — to the next level and compete at Java Jam, a caffeinated battle at which rival coffee-fueled bands go head-to-head for a coffee cup trophy.
This time around, though, it appears Ben dropped Damon and Brady and called in his lil bro Casey, who is just as hesitant to do the DunKings thing as Damon was last year.
The seven-minute ad features appearances by Jeremy Strong, Donnie Wahlberg, Jay and Silent Bob stars Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson as well as comedian Druski.
