Think Diddy having sex with Cassie on camera makes for an odd commercial?
Okay, yes. You're right. It does.
But Justin Timberlake has challenged his fellow musical icon by starring as a talking lime in a new television spot for Sauza 901 tequila.
Yes, you read that correctly: the ad features Justin Timberlake as a as a half-human, half-lime named Rick “Sour” Vane.
The footage features Timberlake’s unusual creation thinking back to the glory days of limes and claiming that Sauza’s brand of tequila has unfortunately put him and his pals out of work.
Sauza is just to gosh darn tasty on its own that no limes are needed, as the company touts in its tagline.
“It was like you couldn’t drink tequila without one of us!” Timberlake’s character remember of the good ole days.
“When we walked into the club, it was like everything was in slow motion. Literally. It was like we were rock stars!”
Timberlake (who recently welcomed his first child into the world with Jessica Biel!) and his lime-like friends proceed to protest Sauza tequila at various bars.
But it's sadly it’s too late for them. They're reduced to finding other uses for limes.
It's all rather creative and funny and awesome. But would you really expect anything else from Justin Timberlake?
