Oh, I say, "WTF?!" but I really, really love weirdo commercials. Take this Old Spice "Double Impact" body wash ad.
Old Spice has really spiced up its advertising. Take this funny ad for its hair and body line. It plays off the idea that men's hair grows in all kinds of quirky places.
But made for a comedian. Old Spice still stinks, but this ad for its Red Zone deodorant is hilarious! I don't know how that guy kept a straight face the whole time.
Piano playing lounge singer + Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" + international supermodels = Best Commercial Ever.
Thanks,
Ad Freak!
The other day reader Marni dropped a line asking whether or not her mostly unopened spice rack she received four years ago was still good. I started to respond to her, when I realized that she's probably not the only one wondering how long spices last.
First of all, spices don't necessarily "go bad."
I happened to catch this
Old Spice ad on TV the other night, and it's so subtly hilarious that I just had to share it. Featuring Bruce Campbell — star of such cult classics as
Army of Darkness and
Evil Dead II — the campy spot just seems perfect for a retro brand like Old Spice. I particularly love the ascot, the never-ending sailboat panorama, and the chainsaw propped up against the fireplace.
