Dr Pepper ad Spoofing Prince

This is the second ad I've seen recently with a Prince impersonator.

I forget what the ad is for, but it features four people at gas station dressed as 80s icons. One of them is loosely dressed like Prince.

Is that really a Prince spoof? I don't think it is and I don't think your average Joe Dickhead would get that either.

I am not quite sure how your getting Prince out of this unless your just fishing and hoping. I don't see the similarities at all.

I've seen this posted several times on FB with people thinking it was based on Prince, too. Small/short, high voice, eyeliner, lace gloves, the women thinking the little guy is so sexy lol I thought of Prince the first time I saw it.

Should we add "Lil Sweet" to the list of nicknames given to Prince? eyepop

And who said that Justin Guarini was the loser for season 1 of American Idol. Based on this commercial, we may have to reassess who actually came out on top cool

Oh no, no, no. This isn't a Prince parody at all. It's a hair metal/Aerosmith/Steven Tyler thing. Nowhere even near being a Prince spoof.

It's Justin Guarini badly impersonating Steve Tyler on purpose, but since he's not a good actor, y'all think he's doing Prince.

Seriously? He's a tiny, "self employed" man with a high voice, makeup and lace gloves that the women fell for in 15 seconds. It's supposed to be Prince.

I think it was a sendup of Prince forthese reasons

1. Camp over the top screechy soul screams

2. Weird clothes, that are purple and marone

3. Shortness, a common joke about Prince by the ignorant

4. Even though this guy looked white, some people think Prince is white and as Prince is viewed by the masses as an effeminate fop, finding a Black man to play him would be hard, given the hyper masculinity of most black men.

.

It can't be tyler, as he is known for his huge thick lips rather than his height which is normal.

.

Who is Justin Guarani, is he Paraguayanese as his name is the same as their currency. Never heard of him here in NewZealand, is he like some 13th place getter in a recent talent show or something?

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name
