Loading ...Pepsi is sure hoping so, based on the Pepsi/Amazon MP3 ad above, which shows Justin Timberlake being driven out of his restaurant and through the streets of New York and its suburbs… thanks to the power of Pepsi’s points program that will allow people who drink lots of carbonated sugar water to get “free” MP3s by Justin and other music stars. There’s also an odd Andy Samberg cameo, the ball shot (it involves a mailbox), and a big honking ad for Justin’s restaurant, because, you know, that’s the only place where he hangs out when he’s in town. Ugh, this isn’t even as good as yesterday’s ultra-dopey Haddaway-themed ad, which is why I’m wondering just how much time will elapse between the Super Bowl’s final second and Pepsi kicking its ad agency to the curb.

For the first time in a while, Maura, I disagree with you entirely. I think this ad is both totally hilarious and completely appropriate for the Super Bowl. I like it.
@loudersoft: Actually, I LOVE it. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!
I think it’s quite enjoyable.
Yeah, I think it’s pretty good, too!
Nut shots = Comedy. It’s a simple formula that works every time.
it’s true: i am on record as hating fun.
but you all have to admit that the ‘what is love’ ad is TOTALLY LAME.
This ad is the ONLY way Tony Romo was going to get to the Super Bowl this year.
GO GIANTS!
As a person who believes JT is a great entertainer and possibly kind of a dick, this is a perfect mash-up for me.
@Maura Johnston: Oh yeah, it’s bad.
@Maura Johnston: I know! You totally don’t like movies.
I applaud the tan volvo, since I owned one.
I think it’s pretty funny, in a meh kinda way. Also, am I an idiot or did someone say the VMAs were history? Anyone have confirmation on this? The VMA part, not my being an idiot.
“Hey to you” redeems much of what I didn’t like, i.e. Samburg.
