A vintage commercial featuring Justin Timberlake and *NSYNC advocating for responsible drinking has resurfaced following Timberlake's recent DWI arrest. The ad, originally aired during the 2001 Super Bowl, shows the boy band visiting homes to thank parents for talking to their kids about alcohol. Despite their fame, the group acknowledges parents as the primary influencers in their children's lives. The comedic spot, sponsored by Budweiser, ends with a hilarious misunderstanding involving the band and a tween girl. As Timberlake faces legal trouble for drunk driving, new footage of his erratic driving in Sag Harbor has emerged. The 43-year-old was described as exhibiting signs of intoxication during the arrest. Timberlake's lawyer has vowed to vigorously defend him against the allegations. The unexpected timing of the commercial's revival has sparked ironic reactions online, with some users noting how well it aligns with Timberlake's current situation.
