the Old Spice ad

Recommended Posts

The guy is sitting in a boat wearing white capri pants and
has his shirt sleeves tied around his shoulders.

Why would women take advice on what to buy for their hetero men from a gay guy ?



Because the gay man in charge of that campaign sold them on the idea! (I'm guessing a gay black man)

They're called metrosexuals...get it right. :P Meaning a straight guy with taste.

I hear Old Spice, and I think OLD.:S What's their demographic? I sorta like the ads, but never ever would I buy their product.



Really? I'm fighting the "I'm getting old" thing having turned 30 this year, but have been using Old Spice products for over a decade. Then again I like what is now called "classic scent" which is the original scent.


Well, after a hard week, tossing in some Gold Bond powder and some Tiger Balm, I guess I do smell like an old man!:o

Ha, I'm over 40! Maybe I'm being short-sighted, I guess they could've changed the fragrance since my youth when my grandad was wearing it.:D

You'll know when you're getting old... you'll smell like 'Ben Gay':D

They have some other scents, but the classic fragrance is my favorite. More importantly, my wife likes it on me!B|

When I hear Old Spice, I think of what 60-year-old unshaven shrimpers must smell like, after coming back from two weeks on the boat, with no showers. I don't even know what that really smells like, but for some reason, I envision that. I don't know why.
Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Some sort of suppressed desire/fantasy?

My manager is wayyy up in his 70's. He wears original Old Spice. We smell him before we see him!:D Hell, I'm middle-aged, but I wear no cologne to work. It's against "my" policy to not pollute my co-workers.:)

Sort of like the "spray the whole F'n can on" Axe-Generation?



It's easy to carry a can in the new European Shoulder Bags. They make great gifts. :)

I like Old Spice, but I also don't make my decisions based
on what smell I enjoy vs what Madison Avenue is selling for stupid-money per bottle.

I'm going to work for an appliances place. I can take out an ad
identifying all older refrigerators as "old school" and "so... last years style". I need to do that.
Also, I would expect a premium for "advance orders" because the leading-edge models are unavailable.

I understand how fashion works.

I should be paid for doing other peoples thinking.
