Cher and Amber are back — and their rivalry is still going strong.
Alicia SilverstoneandElisa Donovanreprise theirCluelessroles as Cher Horowitz and Amber Mariens, respectively, in anew ad for Rakuten, which the company released in full on Monday ahead of its run during the upcomingSuper Bowl.
The two prove not much has changed since their mid-’90s debate days, appearing at the front of a high school class at their podiums to trade words about the benefits of using Rakuten to get cash back while shopping online.
“I used to be pretty clueless about shopping,” says Silverstone, 46, before Donovan, not missing a beat as her sharp-tongued character, quips, “Among other things.”
“Like when I heard I couldsave while getting cash back with Rakuten, I was like, as if!” Silverstone continues, using one of Cher’s signature catchphrases. “But then I was like, ugh, why didn’t I do this sooner?!”

The rest of the ad sees Silverstone don several of Cher’s iconic outfits from the 1995 teen comedy, showing off her enviable tech-powered closet, gigantic column-laden Beverly Hills home, classic white Jeep (of “I totally paused!” fame) — now electric — and more.
“In conclusion, you’d have to be butt-crazy to shop without Rakuten,” Silverstone ends her speech as Christian (no, notJustin Walker’s character from the film, butChristian Siriano, who curatedaClueless-inspired collectionfor the site) throws her up a heart hand signal from the front row.
“Um,hello, do I even get a rebuttal?” says Donovan, 52.
“I’m sure it’d be rebrutal,” replies Silverstone, leading Donovan to toss back a signature, “Whatever!” complete with the big W hand sign.

Registered shoppers usingthe Rakuten website, browser extension or app get cash back at hundreds of retailers — something the actress knows her shopaholic character would take full advantage of.
“Rakuten makes it easy to save while you shop, and working with them to reviveCluelessfor the Super Bowl stage made sense with how much Cher loved shopping — no doubt she would have tons of Cash Back,” Silverstone told PEOPLE exclusively last week.
Speaking with PEOPLE about whether she’d ever reprise her roleshould aCluelesssequel beon the horizon, Donovan said in June 2021 that she wouldn’t hesitate, as she thinks “it would be hilarious to see these people as adults.”
“Amber would probably be running her own fashion line, bossing a lot of people around — and driving a very wealthy husband crazy,” she joked.
