These Old Spice commercials just keep getting better and better. What is it about this guy that makes women faint and men question their sexuality (read the video comments to see what I’m talking about)? As if it weren’t enough, the Old Spice guy is now on Twitter and making videos recording shout-outs to various Twitter users like Alyssa Milano, to whom he apparently sent roses. He even made a video for a friend of mine, @TechFrog. Confused? Me too. But I love it! EDIT:This helped clear it up. Genius!
This guy is also pretty intense but entertaining:
P.S. When I brought these up in a meeting recently, I was told they are a blatant rip off of Axe. I will choose to ignore this comment.
Rarely are the pre-preview-commercials in a movie theatre as entertaining as the actual movie, but this was nearly the case when Julian and I went to see Shutter Island last Saturday night. Old Spice is doing something right, and it has nothing to do with their overbearing and chemical-laden deodorants and body washes. These commercials are stinking brilliant.
You can hardly think fast enough to keep up with him, but I love it. “I’m on a horse.”
This one is also pretty great – if I were a guy, I’d totally be flexing my muscles after watching it.
And the winner of my favorite Super Bowl ad is…. GOOGLE! You know, the company that doesn’t need any advertising. Their Parisian Love commercial was just the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Maybe it’s because I’m going to Paris in about 90 days and have an infinite love for all things French. Or maybe it’s because I’m in the midst of planning my wedding to a man that I quickly and unexpectedly fell in love with. Or maybe it’s because of the huge role the internet played in our relationship. Whatever it may be, this is “très mignonne.”
Once again, this has nothing to do with technology but this is my blog and I’ll rant if I want to, so suck it up and read on. What the heck kind of commercial is this? Hardee’s (better known as Carl’s Jr. to us West Coasters*) is pimping out their new Biscuit Holes – which I guess are like donut holes, but with icing. Scrumptious and healthy, I’m sure.
They took to the streets to ask people what they like better: A-holes, or B-holes? Sick!
Edited to add: Not sure how I forgot this gem of a Burger King ad. What are we selling here? Is this a sandwich ad, or pornography?
Smile!
I suppose it works, though – I am blogging about it, after all. Woo Hardee’s!
*Ahh! Did I just call myself a “West Coaster?!?” Somebody. Get. Me. Out. Of. Here.
