A 2001 Budweiser commercial about drinking alcohol responsibly starring *NSYNC has resurfaced on social media after Justin Timberlake was charged for driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons on June 17.
In the commercial, which aired during the 2001 Super Bowl, a father answers his door and is confronted by the members of the boy band: Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez.

But the dad is confused meeting the musicians — despite them being some of the biggest stars in the world at the time.
“We’re just going door to door to say thanks,” Timberlake says, as Fatone adds, “for talking to your kids about drinking.”

Chasez explains, “You see, even with all our success, you’re still a bigger influence on your kids than we are.”
The dad goes back inside and tells his daughter about the interaction.

“Just some guys. Lance, Joey. Something about a sink,” he says.
The daughter immediately screams and runs outside, yelling for the members of the boy band who are nowhere to be found.

The old video was shared on TikTok by a fan with the message, “Don’t know if this commercial has now aged poorly and aged even better.”
Fans flooded the comments section and pointed out the irony of the commercial.
“I see what you did there 🤣,” one fan said.
“Lol too soon,” another person wrote.
A third fan commented, “oh my god 🤣🤣🤣 what beautiful timing. Aged like a fine wine.”
A different person said, “The dad not knowing who they are also parallels, the cop not knowing who JT was,” referring to how Timberlake’s arresting officer allegedly wasn’t familiar with the Grammy winner when he took him into custody for the DWI.

Timberlake, 43, was busted by cops in Sag Harbor after police said he blew through a stop sign and swerved while behind the wheel.
He was having dinner with friends at the historic American Hotel on Monday night before he got in his car, sources told Page Six.
A witness at the American Hotel told The Post that the singer was allegedly “wasted” — and even downed someone else’s drink when its owner went to the restroom.

After being pulled over, Timberlake allegedly told the officers he had just “one martini, and I followed my friends home.”
The “Mirrors” artist refused to take a blood alcohol test three times, and failed a field sobriety test. He was charged with drunken driving at the Sag Harbor police station.
He was released without bail after his arrangement.
A rep for Timberlake’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., addressed the DWI arrest in a statement: “Mr. Burke looks forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”
After the arrest, a source told Page Six that Timberlake — who rose to fame as a member of *NSYNC before achieving great success as a solo artist — has had “a real drinking problem” for years.

“He’s been hiding and masking it for years,” the insider claimed.
Another source alleged that Timberlake was “drinking heavily” when the New York Times’ 2021 documentary about his ex Britney Spears came out. He received backlash from fans after the doc highlighted his mistreatment of the “Criminal” singer when they dated over 20 years ago.
Timberlake has acknowledged his drinking in the past.
In 2006, he told Observer Music Monthly, “I’m just like everyone else, I get completely plastered, I’ve done my fair share of drugs and I’ve been caught places with my pants down. It’s just I make sure there are no cameras around.”
