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

What was the first one?
I think this one is hilarious

Is that the best Prince impersonator they could find?

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.

WTF lol

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.

well its a loose spoof, as i am sure that prince would love this. (not)

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?

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

well he definately cant pull it cause its nothing like him

Blimey, if there was ever any doubt "lil sweet... is self employed"

Genuinely hilarious.

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.

I've seen this a few times, My first thought... its Prince!
Obviously as they make fun of his height

That's a real commercia? I thought it was just a skit from somebody's sketch comedy show.

Oh shit! I would so love to be in the same room when Prince sees it!

Prince?

Not a chnace.

"That's a real commercial?"......I thought it was a skit too..I was channel surfing and I thought I had landed on Comedy Central.

I didn't get Prince from that at all. I got spandex/glam rock spoof from it.

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.

lol Exactly. and all of the almost purple

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?
