Vanilla Ice, Now Pitchfork-Friendly
by Perry Michael Simon on January 24, 2012
It’s 2012. It’s been a long time since “Ice Ice Baby.” He’s already conquered home improvement television, so what’s next for Vanilla Ice? How about indie rock? Here, courtesy of our man at E!’s The Soup Jonah Ray, is what happens when you put Mr. Van Winkle in front of a bunch of hipsters:
He rocks Silverlake like a vandal. Nice plaid shirt from Jonah’s personal collection, too.


So, he skipped the “Everyone needs to release a country album” phase? So hipster.
Wow! The video is not even available in my country!
Because making it available would somehow undermine Vanilla Ice’s sales outside of the US? Or it would mean no one would watch whatever show the clip is from and which isn’t ever going to air outside of the US anyways?
And if I saw it I guess the terrorists would win? What?
Whoa, bookstore girl is REALLY cute.
I second what Funderful said.
/Canada
is this the coffee shop version of “The Office”?
Somehow “hipster” Vanilla Ice just sounds like Barenaked Ladies. So……not hip.
Wait… the Vanilla Ice project is a whole season of him renovating the same house? Interesting. And, actually, I’m intrigued… I may have to watch the show.
This video is awesome, too. On so many levels.
That was awesome… maybe
?!
The video is available worldwide here

I second Melodic Electronica’s query! It felt very,… Episodic?
Portlandia meets The Office?
Can’t watch it. Gotta love that ACTA!
Awesome Ice! Don’t let the man hold you down.
This is embarrassing just to watch.
Thanks Justin. Someone had to say that this video is awful.You beat me to it.
@funderful Lol. Yes. Not available in Canada. I guess we have our own version of SOPA here already, but we call it the CRTC…

There is no logical reason why I can’t stream this video (which will never be sold) in Canada.
“Nerdist is a place where American (not North American but US Americans and their maps) nerds come together and share the US American nerdery that we find (with each other — but nobody else in the world because the internet is only for US Americans). “
Please make this available in Canada. I would like to see it please!
