New version of Ozzy Osbourne, Justin Bieber ad to run during Oscars

Give the people what they want, and then give it to them again.

That’s the approach Best Buy has to their Super Bowl ad featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Justin Bieber.

Just one of the ‘buzz’ ads during this year’s NFL finale, it will make an encore appearance during this Sunday’s 83rd annual Academy Awards broadcast…

…but with a twist.

The Examiner reports Best Buy posted a series of the Ozzy/Bieber commercial with alternate endings on Facebook, and let viewers vote for the best one (voting ended February 12).

The original Ozzy/Bieber Super Bowl ad ended with Ozzy asking, “What’s a Bieber?” and a bearded Bieber saying, “I dunno…kinda looks like a girl.”

The ending that received the most votes will be featured in the Oscars commercial.
