Vanilla Ice Sells South African Beer

• 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.

• Great post, and great idea for an info site you have here.There are some really good video. The people of south Africa are full of sense and great thoughts.

• Vanilla Ice is not at all huge here. Sure, he was here to film a commercial, but that was it.

• I think SA has some of the best creative advertising in the world - according to Cannes.

• It doesn't mean that we're backwards and out of touch like the writer is implying.

• 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.

• It sounds like a joke, but Vanilla Ice really is huge in South Africa.

• The add is funny though, some old men getting their geek on with some old school vanilla ice.

• Vanilla Ice in South Africa have tried a different approach to make beer........its doesn't matter every new concept will popular as like australian

• It is the funniest video I have ever seen,he is looking totally weird in that costume.

• That's really nice...It's about time the world starts liking this guy again. He always got a bad rap.

• Vanilla Ice is not big in South Africa. However, South Africans have an excellent sense of irony.

• The video is really nice...I must throw light on the point that South-Africans have an excellent sense of irony!!!!!

• woah!!...then it is pretty obvious that its sale gonna take a boon always due to that african beer. amazing post.

• South Africans have a great advantage for the ice cream thing. they are really lucky. nice post. thanks for sharing.

• lol...its a fuuny video anyways he just returned from South Africa, where he played several sold out arenas.

• lol........he is looking really funny....but anyways nice video.

• 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!

• he wouldn't believe me.i am so going to rub it in his face tonight,that i was right!

• Hi Gregory. So fare i can see, Larimore has answered your question. I don't see any sense.

• He is looking so funny.And the video is really enjoyable.

• He is only popular in an ironic way like people revere Chuck Norris or David Hasslehoff.

• great video. The people of south Africa are full of sense and great thoughts.

• The add is funny though, some old men getting their geek on with some old school vanilla ice.

• video is just amazing. thank you very much. lucky south Africans.

• Oddly enough,I must say South Africans have an excellent sense of irony.

• vanilla ice is great i really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing

• Vanilla Ice is such a Ice-Cream which can�t be dead. It is still alive. Who knew?

• How the hell did he manage to complete a concert when he only had 1 hit?!

• Vanilla Ice is NOT huge here. Sure, he was here to film a commercial, but that was it. No concerts or anything like that. His fame here, waned just like it did everywhere else.

• It could be so for SA. Bur Vanilla Ice is not big in Australia at all. The add is funny though, some old men getting their geek on with some old school vanilla ice. I think it is a satire more than anything else.

• It doesn't mean that we're backwards and out of touch like the writer is implying. Oddly enough, SA has some of the best creative advertising in the world - according to Cannes.

• Even though I don't agree completely, you put forward some interesting views, to me anyway. Chuffed that I found your blog and will be sure to come back soon. I saw an article recently that counters some of your points, I will find it and post the link here as I think you will find it an interesting read.

• He was here to film a commercial, but that was it. No concerts or anything like that.

• The company who owns castle in one of the biggest alcohol making companies in the word and i can say I like South African Ads, usually they are very high quality and funny.

• Those are really funny videos..I really like your website , it's full of great information.

• It's ironic. It doesn't mean that we're backwards and out of touch like the writer is implying.

• Vapor Cigarettes truly seem the thing to do, for me at least. And you can use them,puff them anywhere.

• Vanilla Ice is not big in South Africa. However, South Africans have an excellent sense of irony.

• I really like your website , it's full of great information.Vanilla Ice is not big in South Africa. However, South Africans have an excellent sense of irony.

• Hi! I sold something on e-bay using my mom's account. They paid me through pay-pal. Now I have a $9.40 charge on my debit card. When I call e-bay, I cant talk to a person until I FAX them personal info. Is this legal? How can I just talk to a person?

• Well, he's gotta be selling something, because he sure ain't sellin' records.

• Hey you can't knock anyone who is making commercials. He did have one hit song that I know of and that is more I ever had!

• vanilla ice isnt big in sa. i live there. he prob sold out coz ppl here luv going 2 concerts and having a fun time. the ad is sad though, bt it is kinda funy. v.i. has a creepy smile o.0

• ,[...] blogs.browardpalmbeach.com is one nice source on this subject,[...]

• Vanilla Ice is still alive. Who knew?

• Hey-The guy still kicks it, I know the words & am trying 2 get tickets to the show on the 28th of Nov 09 in Pretoria. Show me other guys at 42 & see what slobs & blobs they have become, they r all jealous that he still has it, Don't slam him, learn frm him & mayb u 2 can b cool.

• my mother just informed me that vanilla ice is my dad.

• Vanilla Ice was in South Africa for 4 days to shoot the ad. He is coming back in November for one concert!! I'd forgotten who he was until the ad was aired on tv. Well said Lucia and Bryan. Get a grip Mr Mooney.

• It is a joke. Similar to Nandos (yes, actually a South African Company) using Chuck Norris. We have a sense of humour. It's ironic. It doesn't mean that we're backwards and out of touch like the writer is implying. Oddly enough, SA has some of the best creative advertising in the world - according to Cannes.

• The ad is a joke. He did not play "in sold out arenas" in South Africa. He is only popular in an ironic way like people revere Chuck Norris or David Hasslehoff. Mr Mooney, you are an idiot.

• Vanilla Ice is not big in South Africa. However, South Africans (especially advertisers) have an excellent sense of irony. I'm insulted that the writer thinks it's simply that we like him. Get a clue!

• Vanilla Ice is NOT huge here. Sure, he was here to film a commercial, but that was it. No concerts or anything like that. His fame here, waned just like it did everywhere else.

• Sorry, he isn't huge in Australia... a huge joke maybe, but definitely nothing more than that!

• I think you are confusing South Africa, Australia and East Asia with the early 90s.

• Vanilla Ice big in SA. Sorry but no. Sold out arenas, well in a country as small as SA sold out could mean anything from a 1000 fans to 50 000 fans. I think it was more like 2000 fans. The add is funny though, some old men getting their geek on with some old school vanilla ice. I think it is a satire more than anything else.

• Im proudly south african. And vanilla ice rocks man. Hes awesum. And stil lookin dam fine.

• Totally awesome = http://www.filthyrichmond.com

• He's huge in SA? Never noticed, and I live here?? Funny ad tho, but he's not huge here.... really :P

• Hey a dude has ta make a living right?? RT www.anonymous.ua.tc

• i told my boyfriend that it was the real Vanilla Ice in the ad,he wouldn't believe me.i am so going to rub it in his face tonight,that i was right!

• Australia's loss. He is awesome.

• Vanilla Ice is not big in Australia at all.

• Vanilla Ice is the man! He can sell whatever he wants.

• That is fucking amazing. It's about time the world starts liking this guy again. He always got a bad rap. (Get it?)

• Wow. Vanilla Ice in South Africa? That's pretty amazing... I thought he hated that song.
