YouTube Celeb Tay Zonday Goes Commercial With Dr. Pepper

Dr. Pepper hooked up with YouTube celeb Tay Zonday to recreate his famed Chocolate Rain video to promote its new Cherry Chocolate drink. The new video is as goofy as the original but it’s climbing the video charts fast. Currently, is resting in the number one slot over at Viral Video Chart. Whether or not it reaches the original’s 12 million views is unclear at this point but we’re guessing he’s happy with the paycheck he got from Dr. Pepper.

The new video also features Mista Johnson aka Felonious Monk and an army of dancing booty babes. Since its debut November 28, the video has 566,000 views on YouTube. Thankfully, it’s half the length of the maddeningly repetitive original.
