Matt Damon and Casey Affleck will do almost anything for Dunkin’.
In a recent commercial to promote the duo’s latest film, The Instigators, Damon and Affleck perform a “heist” in a Boston Dunkin’.
The commercial starts with Affleck, 49, off camera, telling an exasperated Damon, 53, to put a bag over his hand. The two head into the coffee chain where they’re greeted by a Dunkin’ cashier. But Affleck promptly replies: “We got good news and bad news. The good news is your shift’s over. The bad news is you’re being robbed.”
The commercial then cuts to Affleck holding up the paper bag and saying, “You ever been robbed before? This is what it looks like.”
But the pair’s plan doesn’t fool the cashier, who tells Affleck: “I can see your hand, Einstein.” He then rips the bag off Affleck’s hand uncovering his finger gun. Damon reluctantly adds, “I also have a gun.” The cashier joins in and reveals his finger gun as he replies, “Two instigators here, huh? Busting chops.”

The annoyed Dunkin’ employee prompts the two to order something and says, “It’s been a long day, what do you want? There’s a whole line behind you.”
Damon and Affleck surrender and Damon orders a Boston Kreme and a “large regulah” coffee, and Affleck asks for a strawberry frosty (after confirming that Affleck will pay for it). Since they brought their own paper bags, Damon tells the employee they’ll use those since it’s “better for the environment.”

The pair recently spoke to PEOPLE about filming The Instigators movie in their hometown of Boston. “The sense of humor and the way that people just tend to look at the world back here,” Damon shared, noting how it is “really fun when you come from it because you know what it is.”
“It can feel abrasive to people who aren’t from here. But when you’re from here, it feels like, you know, a comfortable pair of socks,” he added.
“Boston has changed a lot,” Affleck pointed out. “It’s really not the city that we grew up in … The whole country has changed. There’s been so much change in the culture.”
He continued, “On the other hand, it’s the place I still feel more at home than anywhere else. So that says something about what a place does to you when you’re growing. I’ll forever be connected to this place no matter how much it changes.”
