Old Spice: The Ad Campaign Your Ad Campaign Can't Be Like

"I don't normally enter lion-fighting competitions for my title, but when I do, I prefer to be challenged by the Old Spice guy."

He doesn't seem to talk to himself that often.

They'd both probably sit around in a hot tub drinking XX.

Aand then when they were done, they'd drive the motorcycles that were always there to Spain or something.

^^thank you for getting the drink right before I had to correct you.

And then they'd be on a horse.

two horses. that'd be dos equus.

^Just For Pun

Has anyone noticed the change in language on Old Spice products this year? Take the back of the Odor Blocker body wash, for example (Their emphasis, not mine):

"Odor Blocker. You will win. Odor will lose. Guaranteed.

In The shower, it banishes odor causing germs to the drain

It spends the rest of the day maiming pesky, yet unavoidable odor causing elements in sweat

After the carnage, all that remains is the FRESH smell of victory"

I can't decide if a successful advertising meme is more depressing than a failed advertising meme.

HELLO LADIES. I JUST WON MY SCHOOL'S HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST AS THE OLD SPICE MAN.

HUZZAH.

Wouldn't an Old Spice man costume consist solely of a towel?

Nah, you'd also need a horse. And maybe two tickets to that thing you like that are now diamonds.

Lower body:

• Towel
• Shorts under it

Upper Body:

• Ab belt to hold props in
• Props, including old spice products
• brown shirt that is close to my skin color, with muscles drawn on
• sweater tied around my neck

and what won it for me: an actual Old Spice style impromptu skit, with my voice (which is close to his) to have people support me

wow, that's even better than my Awesome Face costume!
