Brian Baumgartner, who played the Dunder Mifflin accountant Kevin Malone on the American version of The Office, is back in a cubicle in a Super Bowl ad for Ramp, but this time he’s got a lot of help.
The 30-second pre-kickoff spot, created in-house and directed by The Office alum Randall Einhorn through Radical Media, positions the finance software as a “force multiplier” by populating the office with copies of Baumgartner.
All that help allows Baumgartner to quickly file expenses. Instead of having a desk cluttered with files and receipts, he and his many duplicates are all “employee of the month,” while his clones triumphantly carry Baumgartner around and shower him with confetti.
He even has a partner to carry a pot of chili, a reference to a scene from The Office in which Kevin tried to share his signature dish and wound up spilling it everywhere.
“Ramp automates the messy parts of spend – receipts, invoices, approvals – so teams can move faster and focus on decisions that actually grow the business,” Ramp CEO Eric Glyman said in a statement. “Our Super Bowl spot with Brian Baumgartner captures a real feeling: when manual work goes away, it’s like your best accountant has been multiplied.”
Baumgartner is judging a lookalike competition and tailgate at Fort Mason Pavilion in San Francisco on Sunday that awards two tickets to the Super Bowl. The winners will drive to Levi’s Stadium with Baumgartner and influencers including Max Klymenko, Luke Manley, and MD Foodie Boyz, with Ramp livestreaming the trip on X.
In Oct. 2025, Ramp named Baumgartner CFO for a day and livestreamed his experience as he raced the software to see how many expenses he could file.
Ramp made its Super Bowl debut in 2025 with a 15-second spot showing Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley using the app to file his expense reports.
