Pepsi really missed an opportunity to have Alfonso Ribeiro doing those MJ dance moves, as the Carlton actor from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was the child dancing in one the company’s more famous commercials with the King of Pop.
For example, that Pepsi bottle hanging out of the Delorean is the same bottle design as the Pepsi soft drinks featured in Back To The Future Part II.
Some of the references in this Pepsi commercial are obvious, and others take a bit of explaining.
Additionally, the references to Michael Jackson are a callback to past commercials he did with the company.
