Getting pretty sick of the Old Spice guy

[abcdefz]

Never saw a commercial or ad with this dude until a couple weeks ago there was some mention of him somewhere. Now he's showing up everywhere, and these ads look pretty stupid.

I know people will say "that means it's working!" but I don't think it's a very good campaign.

BUILDING KICK!!!

[abcdefz]

I don't know what that means.

I haven't heard any of the commercials; the ads just keep popping up on various sites I visit. No interest in "click here for sound."

EXPLOSIIIIIOOOOOOOON!

I actually think this is a really well done and clever parody done from a low budget perspective/production...it's crafty:

A lot of entertainment is starting to parodies this direction so apparently it's working.

And it beats showcasing that women will flock to generic, douche, whiteman #249932 based on his smell.

I've only seen two versions of the commercials once or twice, so I haven't gotten sick of them or anything. I think they're pretty funny.

...but it seems like a take off on the Dos Equis guy in a way.

there are two different old spice guys that people in here are talking about from which the identity of this man and hence of this thread has not been clearly defined, who are you talking about?

Dear Atoz,

You're getting old and crotchety.

Love,

[TurdBerglar]

all these guy oriented commercials the past few years have been pretty funny.

[yeahwho]

is the old guy anything like the girls? they were sort of annoying with their nicknames and stuff.

[Myu-to]

I don't know what that means.
Audio does.(y)

EXPOLSIIIOOOOOOON!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tI4CbCniBI)

also, I like how Old Spice smells, so if its increased popularity means that more people will smell like Old Spice, I don't mind. (y)

You must have acquired a liking for Old Spice when you spent that time working down at the docks.

i quite like them, but apparently they haven't converted into sales. In fact, sales are down.

Did anyone see the Twitter/You Tube vids he did? He replied to people on Twitter with personalized videos. Pretty funny.
