Vodacom’s New Single Ladies Advert

Written on June 14, 2009 – 8:16 pm | by Glass Pearl |

Tonight just before 8. 00pm Vodacom flighted their new internet advert.

It features the Beyonce song ‘Single ladies (put a ring on it) and a guy dressed in denim shorts doing the dance moves of the song’s video.

The advert is based on a skit done by Justin Timberlake on Saturday Night Live a while ago.

Much better than the Vodacom maklik ads.

Here’s the Justin Timberlake/Beyonce video

    It’s not often that we enjoy watching an ad but this one is absolutely hilarious. I even love it more than the washing powder ad where a woman is hanging out her washing and a taxi drives past and all the passengers in the taxi go “Yo” and put their sunglasses on. Also a classic!

    I too find myself running from wherever I am in the house when that advert comes on tv.

    The look on that guy’s face is too funny!

    I love that farmer guy. He’s hilarious. I recognised him from that internet movie short called Alive in Joburg and the new Peter Jackson sci-fi movie called D9
