Justin Timberlake feeds “braspberries”—blueberry-filled raspberries, which the pop star introduced for some reason last year on his Instagram feed—to an anchorman in Bai’s send-up of cable-news bulletins.
Brian Huskey, so amusing as a dad-rapper in Toyota’s “Swagger Wagon” and humanizing CollegeHumor’s “If Google Was a Guy,” plays the TV journo, who valiantly tries to keep his mouth shut.
To be clear: Bai is not introducing a braspberry-flavored beverage. Instead, the spot draws a parallel between Timberlake’s freaky fruit combo and Bai’s ability to offer tasty, 5-calorie drinks made without artificial sweeteners.
That’s a stretch.
