Vanilla Ice Sells Beer In South Africa
Well, at least he's trying to
October 22nd, 2009
Entertainment Weekly’s Pop Watch blog pointed me in the direction of a TV commercial for South African beer Castle Light which features none other than Robert Van Winkle, better known to the world as Vanilla Ice. HMMM … who knew he was still gettin’ work? Here are a few screencaps from V. Ice’s South African beer commercial:
Yeah … it’s just as bad as these screencaps make it seem … but it’s deffo worth a few LULz. After the jump, check out the commercial in full …
Sigh. Do you remember when this song was THE BIGGEST song in the world? Well, you’re lucky if you don’t. At least the folks down in South Africa can appreciate the genius of Vanilla Ice all over again. LMAOOOOOOOO!

Just saying, I think he’s pretty hot. You know, without the weird outfits and whatnot.

When he was on Surreal Life, I actually felt kind of bad for him. It seemed like his self esteem really suffered following his success, and while he can sometimes be a jerk, it seemed like he was a pretty decent person under it all. I wish him the best of luck, and I hope they paid him well!

Im from South Africa – we dont take him seriously – he’s a joke like anywhere else in the world..its really so cool of him to come out send himself up like that. He was brought in to rival another beer ad with Louis Gossett Jr selling Windhoek Lager. See if you can find that one where the girl buys a guy a cocktail and he intercepts.

i don’t think he was suppose to be portrayed as a serious artist in this commercial, can you not understand the humour behind this? duh and he is hot, he still has a real nice body under that bad fashion lol

im also from SA… and were not stuck in the 90’s….we just have excellent senses of humour (must be all the sunlight we get…lol)…. Its so cool to an artist come do an ad and make fun of himself… and the ad is awesome… Viva Castle and Vanilla Ice Ice baby! :)

Before I watched the video, I was embarressed for him. After I watched it, I thought it was pretty funny of him.
