Berries & Cream - The Funniest Version
Berries and cream: thousand times better than tea and crumpets.
Berries and Cream/Creme Starburst were a flavor of Starburst candies that were sold in the 2000's. This commercial was aired in 2007 and was an instant hit. The ad was directed by Randy Krallman and produced by Smuggler Films.
Synopsis[]
Two men are sitting outside at a bench, when the guy standing asks the guy sitting if he tried the Berries and Cream Starburst, when a British man (played by Jack Ferver) answers with "Pardon me, what kind of Starburst did you just say?". The guy answers with "Berries", when the Brit interrupts him and asks what else. He answers with "And Cream", and the lad gets excited and starts to dance and sing:
Berries and Cream, Berries and Cream,
I'm a little lad who loves Berries and Cream!
(slightly higher) Berries and Cream, Berries and Cream,
I'm a little lad who loves Berries and Creeeeeeeaaaaam!
And then at the end, he does a kick in the air.
Why It's Cursed[]
"Little Lad" the little British guy is very hilarious and random, as he just walks up to two random men just because they have Berries and Cream Starburst candy, even annoying them with his silly dancing and singing.
Trivia[]
- The actor of Little Lad, Jack Ferver, is an actual dancer in New York, and a professor at Bard College. Rumor has it he hates the commercial, as he is not too thrilled when students bring up the commercial to him or attempt to do the dance, and furthermore he doesn’t even talk about it on his website.
- There is a video featuring the Little Lad on how to do the "Little Lad Dance".
- In September 2021, the dance became a TikTok trend.
