Justin Timberlake’s new commercial will give you nightmares (video)
By Tony Tran
Starring in a new tequila commercial, the pop star showed his weirder side as he dressed up like a lime for the role.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I’d really like to have a nightmare tonight about a Justin Timberlake lime trying to murder me.”
Well, now you can!
Check out the video below.
In the video, the former NSYNC star plays a down on his luck lime named Rick “Sour” Vane. It’s promotion for Sauza’s 901 tequila though it does less convincing me that I need some tequila and more that I need a healthy regiment of antipsychotic medicine (not hating on people who need it … it’s just the video is horrifying).

He’s sad that limes aren’t needed anymore since the tequila’s so good, which is a swell premise in theory but I believe it leaves a whole lot lacking.
“Without the limes. It’s no fun. Don’t drink 901,” he says in the commercial.
The most confusing thing about this is that Timberlake is pretty unrecognizable in the videos. In fact, I bet that if I didn’t tell you already that it was the Suit and Tie singer under all that horrific green make up you wouldn’t have been able to tell. Which begs the question, “why not just use any schmuck for the ad?”
I guess when you can get Justin Timberlake though, you get Justin Timberlake.
