VIRAL VIDEO: Johnson Mwakazi and The Tecno Phantom Ad(Vicious Twitter Insults Included)

Kenyans on Twitter are at it again. The target this time: Johnson Mwakazi. They have gone in on the launch ad for the Tecno Phantom, in which he is starring.

The ad follows a wacky concept of a man played by Johnson Mwakazi, dressed in a dracula cape and talking slowly about how he is “everything you are.” It is ironic that the ad begins with an apology for the ‘archaic introduction,’ considering the quality(or apparent lack thereof) in the ad. Then Johnson Mwakazi goes on about how good he is at his job and similar brags. All the while, awkward pauses abound, and it just looks and sounds like a very cultish thing. Take a glimpse for yourself(it’s only 3 minutes, just sacrifice some of those data bundles of yours)

Of course you know I can’t leave you without getting a taste of the bile the Twitter bigwigs have sprayed all over this ad. Here you go:

@MediaMK: this ‘launch video’ for the Tecno Phantom is right there, on the floor with jana’s underwear

@ArcherMishale: Dear Jesus, #iCant!!! Take me now! TAKE ME NOW! Wuuuiiiii!!! #Tecno

@LaylaLestrange: This is the reason kids are saying uchawi is digital.

@carolinespencer: Whaa FAIL!! Donno what Mwakazi is doing!! FAIL! FAIL!

@marcusolang: You simply must watch this: http://bit.ly/160xC1Q. I’m concerned: Does Johnstone Mwakazi have anyone advising him on his brand?

@JoeWMuchiri: HAHAHA Johnstone Mwakazi in 2098

Johnson Mwakazi is no stranger to controversy though. Remember when he confessed to being a p0rno addict?
