not my drink, not my music . . . but that's a great commercial!

Madness!

That can't POSSIBLY be Michael Jackson! He looks totally different!

no way

WAY!!

Old tasteless joke warning!

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Richard Pryor?

One got burned by Coke, the other by Pepsi.

Seemed funny at the time.

wait, MJ is black??!!!

:-)

Actually that wasnt michael jackson. That was Alfonso Ribeiro, carlton from fresh prince of bel-air, only at that time he was on Silver Spoons. He actually dance in a few of MJ's pepsi commercials, not just this one. look it up

how do you know that

Well, to be clear, im referring to the boy in the red who is the main focus of the commercial. He does bump in to michael at the end of the commercial. However, i may have incorrectly assumed by the "That cant POSSIBLY be michael jackson" comment, they were referring to the boy in red. If they werent, well, this will clear up the confusion then.

Here is an MJ site where you can view the commercial as well as this caption;

Product: Pepsi Cola

Information: The commercial starred Michael Jackson and the other Jackson Brothers and a young Alfonso Ribeiro(Fresh Prince of Bel Air). The commerical featured the music of Billie Jean with re-worked lyrics.

Also google is your friend. IMDB and WIKI talk about Alfonso and this commercial.

That was Carlton??? Wow...now that you told me I can see it. He dances a hell of a lot better in the commercial than in the TV show.

Ah, This was back when he was cool.

skforty, I was being facetious when I said it couldn't be him. I was trying to make a joke about all the plastic surgery he has had since then.

Daphne, that's not fair... how well can someone dance to Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual"? hehe He always cracked me up when he danced to that.

The caption says "United States - 1988" but this commercial was on air in 1983 and 84.

So michael jackson had sex with carlton before he was famous?
