They Call Him Pepsi Man

For the last year or so, PepsiCo of France has been seeking to find a talented individual to star in an upcoming Pepsi commercial. The contest, currently airing on TV, garners all kinds of musical talent from across the country. One such fellow, going by the name of Pepsi Man, chose to woo the judges with his rendition of Okkusenman -- the ever popular, Mega Man 2 inspired meme that refuses die.


If Pepsi Man, aka Jerome, wins the contest, he'll be singing Okkusenman on French TV later this year, in a commercial of his very own.

Maybe not the most talented, but the guy's got a lot of heart... that and he's a Mega Man fan. C'mon, how neat would it be to see Okkusenman forever immortalized in the form of a Pepsi commercial?

If you'd like to support him, simply click on the vote icon on the direct feed version here.

Thanks for the tip, Emmanuel!

    That's not Pepsi Man. That will NEVER be Pepsi Man.

    THIS is Pepsi Man:

    He kind of sucks, but at least he's better than William Hung.

    Not to poo-poo this guy's attempt here, but uh... That's just not very good at all. However, that's pretty cool anyway. XD

    @Amir

    -_-! Again with the fanbase bashing, Amir? Don't you have something nice to say other than saying hurtful words towards the MM fanbase?

    @HeroManX:

    Don't you have anything better to do than obsess over me 24/7? :3


    People like this guy are the reason why outside people (those not in the fanbase) make fun of Megaman and the people who like it. This really embarrassingly stupid shit that they do in public. So when there's even MORE shit like this being done by them, then it's an invitation for people like me to say "This is why Megaman fans are made fun of".


    Hell, look at yourself, dude. I'm not even going to start with the kind of stupid shit you do. XD

    I don't know, I think it fits the bill of a commercial pretty well. It's memorable, at the least. You don't see a guy like him jumping around shouting something slightly unintelligible for commercials very often. I will be remembering this, whether I want to or not...Props to him for being brave and having fun!

    I honestly have never seen anyone make fun of the MM fanbase especially based on stuff like this. I feel some people on here exaggerate quite a bit.

    Funny enough this guy auditioned for the French equivalent of American Idol.
