Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne Film Super Bowl Ad

By Zach Dionne Posted Jan 28th 2011 11:39AM

Justin Bieber can check another icon off his list after working with Black Sabbath singer and music legend Ozzy Osbourne for a Super Bowl commercial.

The Best Buy ad will feature Ozzy and Biebs wearing 'Tron'-esque suits.

PEOPLE writes that the commercial was filmed Jan. 17. That same day, Bieber posted some cryptic, excited tweets to his 6.9 million followers, throwing down the hashtag #todaywasepic.

According to USA Today, the 30-second ad will run in the third quarter of the Super Bowl.

"Justin Bieber is the biggest star out there, but that's not why he's in the spot," Best Buy marketing chief Drew Panayiotou told the newspaper. "He symbolically represents something important to the brand message."

Bieber will appear in more Best Buy spots throughout 2011. USA Today contends Bieber is using the spot as "a serious bid to move beyond the world of tween heartbreaker."

'Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers' author Alissa Quart tells the paper Biebs and Oz "are both fish out of water in what we imagine a Super Bowl ad should be: babes and beer."

Ozzy proved he's in touch with today's popular performers by commenting on the potential overexposure of Lady Gaga, telling Us Weekly, "I like her, but I'm getting a bit sick of her. When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lamp shade or whatever. She needs to take a break, I think, for an hour or so."

By themeeker

It has to be too many drugs. Why else would he go anywhere near that idiotic little Beeber girl?

By Tyler

Way too many drugs. His mind and vision are so foggy; he thinks the Bieb is a girl.....poor Ozzy is in for a big surprise when he gets her backstage ! ! !

They should have picked a better girl for Ozzy to work with..... Ozzy dosnt need to be seen with Cindi Brady, afterall he has a reputation.

By Charlie

A burnout and a girly man. that should be great

By djones

Dang!!!! I thought the bieb was a girl....She, oh I mean IT must have a mixed up PR team. Sure sounds like girlie material to me. The bieb will never last as long as the Oz. Once the PR team has used her up, oh, I mean used IT up, the bieb will be tossed out like a piece of trash. :) :) :) LOLoud

By dave

Love Ozzie...hate the Beeb. That kid sure has one great PR team!

How sad for you that you can feel hate for someone you do not even know, & someone who has never done anything to deserve it at that! You must be awful young yourself, since grown men don't generally waste their energies seething with envy over a 16 year old boy.

"You must be awful young yourself, since grown men don't generally waste their energies seething with envy over a 16 year old boy."

Why is it not possible to dislike an individual or find someone annoying or unimpressive without being accused of envying them? I'm a grown woman, nearly 50, since you seem to cast great importance upon age and gender in the right to have an opinion, and I don't envy the Bieber twerp. I'm not the least bit jealous of either his popularity with squeaky pre-pubescent females or his dubious "talent." I just fail to see what all the fuss is about. He's a human mosquito - a high-pitched, buzzing pest that simply will not go away. I don't hate him, mostly because he's not worth that much effort to me. I'm just immensely weary of having him thrust up my nose every time I turn around.

I'd love to see Ozzy bite off that Bieber girl's head and spit it out!

By YellowRose3218

Justin, and Ozzy together should be very funny. I would have never thought of these two at the same time.
I am no fan of Justin's, but Ozzy is great.
I will look forward to seeing this.

By mikenumnuts

Funny....When I think of Ozzy, I think of Bieber and vice versa.

By ginger10487

oh lord where is this baby faced kids mother that ozzy is nothing but a foul mouthed druggie can't stand him or his family they are all gutter mouths and do drugs

By Dennis

I have a question.....Has anyone ever seen the Biebster naked? Is it really a boy? He is much too pretty to be a guy. Personally....I think it's boobless girl. Justine Boober.
Ozzy....bite his head off and spit him out !

By Cody

Bieber & Ozzy???? That's like putting Charles Manson and the Pope together on stage ! What are they thinking.
I guess alot of curious onlookers will watch this one. OMG !

By jchowell3657

I suppose it's just too much to hope for that Ozzy will bite Bieber's head off?

NOW we're talking! That is a great idea!
