I’m convinced, Old Spice must be the best – Phil

April 13, 2010 Posted in Blog, misc, Randomness

There are few things that can break the silence of our hotel room after a tiring day traveling and doing an event. But a couple nights ago, Ted stumbled upon the new Old Spice commercials that were featured on YouTube, and it had the 3 of us literally LOLing.

Now given that Old Spice recently made, in my opinion, one of the best commercials I’ve seen on television in the last 3 yrs (link), there was a high bar, but these didn’t disappoint.

I don’t know if we were delirious that night, or if these really were just THAT ingeniously funny/random… but I just watched them again fully rested and still couldn’t help but chuckle, so I’m gonna go w/ the latter.

Started with this one…

And then we soon realized that there was a TREASURE TROVE of new clips.

Those are just my favorites, but there’s more half-naked-screaming-buff-black guy HERE (link)

So right now, you’re either laughing or extremely confused with a WTH face. You’re thinki- IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU’RE THINKING OLD SPICE BLOCKS B.OOOOOOOOOOO.!!! P-P- P- P- P- P-P- POWER!!!

     
  1. Was that my left bicep? NAH. It was my AAAABDOMINALS.

    …That and:

    Look again. I’m on a horse/sheep.

  2. LOLOLOL the fresherist one! HAHAHA

  3. oh man… “i’m on a horse” haha! that’s like an Old Spice black guy’s version of ‘i’m on a boat’!

  4. If the makers of Powerthirst had to endorse oldspice, those would be their commercials lol

  5. HAHAHA it’s the dude from white chicks! in the old commercials, i mean. i wonder if that guy was planning on making a living by becoming “that crazy buff black guy”…

  6. haha ROFL!

  7. HAHAHA, I can’t stop laughing now. :D

  8. I want power O_o

  9. I literally did LOL. Mad random.

  10. BUILDING KICK! lmao!!

  11. LOLOLOLOL so weird… xD

  12. I’m convinced nothing tops Neil Patrick Harris’ Old Spice advertisement.

    He should know, he’s a doctor; for pretend.

  13. funny how women’s deodorant advertises 24 hr protection while men’s advertises 16 ^.^

  14. I found these commercials so funny when I see them on TV. You guys should make a spoof commercial like Old Spice I think you fans would really enjoy it. XD

  15. The guys that think these up are crazy!
    But I still can’t believe that the “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” was filmed in one shot.
    Crazy stuff happens at that Old spice place.

    • Yeah, it was hard to believe the man your man could smell like was filmed in one continuous take!

      Here is an interview with the guys who created the video, and they explain how it was shot. :]

  16. “But then it gets cold so it creates another sun!!!!” and “freshersest” both my favorite ads XD along with the flex thing old spice must be geniuses by utilizing a screaming buff dude to promote deodorant, now im convinced to buy another old spice product :D

  17. Did you know that they made a sequel to what you called “one of the best commercials in the past 3 years” (which I totally agree with, by the way!!)
    Here’s the link for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpUrz9RvuPk
    Enjoy!~

  18. HAHA i’ve seen these posted by a bunch of people before but never really thought to take a look at them.. what a mistake xD these are awesome! i gotta say, the sun one is my favorite now just ’cause it proves hands down that old spice is a beast LOL

    thanks for the distraction from studying for midterms :D

    ^ that one’s my favorite one! =) except its not the same half-naked black guy. nd he’s not as buff nd not screaming, but the ending’s awesome!

    • That’s the only one I ever saw xD
      I think it’s a great one!

  20. The first time I saw those on youtube I literally LOLed too haha. I love commercials that can actually make me LOL since most of the time i might think its funny but just laugh in my head.

  21. That surely woke me up… and fresherest, I should start using that word in my papers.

    • [edit]: freshershest??

  22. completely broke the silence in my school’s computer lab while watching these clips

  23. definitey eye catching and quirky. genius!

  24. youtube~ don’t judge too quickly… i’m pretty sure you’ll fall off your chair :P

  25. HAHA, I agree.

    Terry Crews was definitely the best choice to sponsor/promote Old Spice.

  26. I so agree with you Phil! They are ingeniously funny! :D
