At The Commercials: Old Spice, Old Spice, Old Spice, Old Spice, Old Spice...


One thing I have always loved about Aqua Teen Hunger Force is its willingness to be utterly shameless when it comes to advertising. The best example of this would be the episode devoted to Boost Mobile – Master Shake sells out the crew, and for an episode, a big talking cell phone follows him around, talking about the need for them to stay fresh with young kids and to visit “heezys.” The blatant, uncontrollable commercialism is funny to me.

Likewise, Carl has his own Old Spice commercial now, which is pretty awesome. Sure, more than 15 seconds of it is just him repeating Old Spice, but that only makes it better in my eyes. Plus, how can you not like a guy in black-and-blue leopard(?) print pants. I mean, unless you're actually meeting someone like that in person, in which case, yeah he's gross.

This continues a long string of successful commercials for Old Spice, since their re-branding a couple years ago. At that time, they were shifting from a cheesy deodorant aimed at kids back to their roots, as something for rugged, classy men. The best and first commercial featured Bruce Campbell talking about experience.
