Drake And His Dad Parody ‘Most Interesting Man In The World’ In New Whiskey Ad
Good original ideas are hard to come by. So hard, in fact, that some advertising companies have just stopped trying altogether.
Like the ad company behind Drake and his papa’s new whiskey ad for Virgina Black Whiskey. In the ad series, Drake plays “The Realest Dude Ever,” a play on the character of “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” made iconic by Jonathan Goldsmith (who is a nice Jewish boy from the Bronx).
Unlike “The Most Interesting Man,” “The Realest Dude” goes dutch on the first date and wears a do-rag under his do-rag. Oh, and he drinks whiskey instead of Dos Equus.
But what if I want a whiskey with a side of “The Most Interesting Man”? What if I want “The Realest Dude” with a side of Dos Equus?
TOO BAD, SOME COMBOS JUST DON’T EXIST.
Drake shared two of the spots on his Instagram page. You can watch them below.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
