The Old Spice ads grabbed my attention when they started to feature Bruce Campbell. Since then I've found them pretty entertaining. Anyone agree?

I wouldn't say brilliant, but poor attempts @ humor is too extreme
 
I like the first one and which ever one has the guy riding the horse backwards (which might still be the first youtube video). lol
 
Great advertising and reinvention of a product that has been unchanged for a long time! My great-grandfather wore Old Spice.
 
I actually had to write a paper on the second one for my English class. Our professor wanted us to find a commercial that was targeted towards a specific demographic, so I chose that.
 
Personally? I couldn't find them more stupid.

However they are genius in that it will get the stupid people who DO like this humor to buy their product, even if it is horrible.

I find them really entertaining. I don't use Old Spice, but I grin when I see the commercials.

What I find even funnier though, is the continually growing evidence that Carmine is me from an alternate universe.

Meeehh, I find it super funny but I don't buy their products.........:glare:
 
Well I hate Will Ferrel's style of humor so I guess it can't be helped.

lol, I how did I know you would take this stance.

Anyway, for your obtuse negativity, here is a creepy dancing pickle.

Its a forum, its good to have varied opinion instead of just "lol I love family guy jokes but selling a product instead!"

Agreed, though you have to admit your comment was laid on a little thick. Yes...they're selling a product, but they will try to sell their product regardless of whether or not they apply humor. I would frankly prefer that they attempt humor to hawk deodorant then not.


Also, Adam West's self deprecation is the part of Family Guy worth watching.
 
I want a dancing Cucumber named Larry.

Also old spice is my favorite deodorant brand. Don't care for body / hair washes with added scents.
I guess I have to vote brilliant thinking about the Brian Urlacher commercial. I love Corney humor :D
