The clip starts out with Waka sitting on his couch, practically engulfed in smoke. What smoke? Well, since Waka is a well-known partaker of marijuana, one can only assume the smoke was meant to seem like marijuana smoke.

“What does a Waka Flocka Flame do for minor sore throat relief? This here,” he says.

In the background you can hear piano elevator music playing as Waka continues to talk about the ingredients in the lozenges.

At the end of the commercial, Waka looks toward the smoke in his room and says, “You know what this is,” before uttering his last words about the Pine Bros. product.

Maybe acting could be a new career move for the popular rapper, even though he’s probably spending most of his free time reading through the vast number of résumés he received after publicizing his need for a professional blunt roller.
