Your Weekend Dose of the AWESOME SAUCE, V1

by rachaelgking on February 20, 2010 · 51 comments

So, I know I’ve been slacking on the Weekend Doses of Fugly. What can I say, life happens.

BUT during the commercials before Avatar tonight (my 140-character thoughts on that subject are here and here),

THIS happened.

I guffawed, people. GUFFAWED.

Well played, Old Spice.

Well. PLAYED.

As you said.. Well played, Old Spice.

And….

Dear B,
Who in your household takes care of kitty waste related chores? In my household it’s me & I just want to know if it’s a dude thing to not change/scoop kitty boxes. And, you’re a dude, so I am getting your opinion. Thanks! Keep bein’ awesome!

Old Spice has revved it up, for reals.

5 Kara February 21, 2010 at 1:42 am

OMFG, I saw this commercial today on TV and nearly peed myself. It will be a classic, for sure.

Instant.

old spice has an entire youtube channel of “manmercials,” i watched a bunch of them the other day, pretty much the greatest things i’ve ever seen.

Apparently the “making of” thems are hilarious too?

Um, yeah. That commercial is HILARIOUS. And if you super nerdy like me, you might enjoy this video where the creators explain that it is NOT done in CG (except for the oyster shell turning into diamonds part). Pretty effin’ amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDk9jjdiXJQ

YES. Yes yes yes. I have “super nerd” stamped on my forehead, in fact.

I just found that commercial this week. Ah-Mazing. I’ve watched eleventy billion times. If I had a man I’d want him to smell like that.

I’m on a horse.

I’M on a horse!

11 miss. chief February 21, 2010 at 8:45 am

hahaha! ‘I’m on a horse’

My horse is Old Spicier than your horse.

LOL :D We went to the movies yesterday and saw that commercial….I almost choked on my cherry coke….

It is definitely choke-worthy.

14 this is my life February 21, 2010 at 9:22 am

If ever there was a commercial to cry over, this is the one.

Take THAT, Sarah McLaughlin-crying-puppies commercial!

18 Susan February 21, 2010 at 10:43 am

That is my favorite commercial! Every time it’s one we hit rewind three times.

I’ve rewatched it at least 18 times. Surprise ending: It doesn’t get old.

19 Adrienzgirl February 21, 2010 at 11:50 am

Yeah, hubs saw that shit and rewound several times so he could laugh hysterically!

If I could have rewound the move projector, I would have.

20 Beach Bum February 21, 2010 at 1:03 pm

My Facebook status updates all week were about this commercial (I saw it during LOST and kept cracking up). I’m on a horse.

(Yes, I think saying “I’m on a horse” randomly at the end of sentences is completely appropriate.)

Hmmm. Maybe Facebook isn’t as evil as I thought. I would have known about this DAYS ago!!!

21 Connie February 21, 2010 at 1:20 pm

Thank goodness for YouTube! I don’t get to see US commercials, but wonderful bloggers like you tip me off and I don’t miss out. I can do without US shows on TV (we wait and buy the good stuff on DVD), but good commercials are gold. Thanks :) !

At your service. ;-)

Mostly hilarious, though, right?

I thought so.

25 Kyla Roma February 21, 2010 at 4:54 pm

lol! I’ve seen the other one like this where he’s backwards on a horse, but this one is far better.

New dream superpower: the ability to turn tickets into diamonds. Or… no actually I’m torn. Maybe the ability to turn anyone into Bruce Campbell would make my life better. He’s been in an old spice commercial, does that count?

Bruce Campbell is like Chuck Norris lite with a dash of debonair.

So, totally.

26 linlah February 21, 2010 at 8:08 pm

That is so not the Old Spice guy from my 20′s, this one is so much better.

Undeniably a vast improvement.

27 nikki February 21, 2010 at 8:36 pm

God, I love that commercial. I think my husband thought it was a little…abstract or something. He didn’t laugh nearly as hard as I did.

Divorce him. Immediately.

28 OG February 21, 2010 at 8:46 pm

This is currently the best commercial on TV…old spice knows who their target market is. I’m new to your blog – I found it by clicking on an old man humping an old lady, and although I was just hoping for some old person porn – I guess your site will have to do. So far so good.

Old men humping old ladies is just how we roll here. You’ll see.

29 Vegetable Assassin February 22, 2010 at 1:47 am

Yeah that commercial cracks my shit up every time I see it. There’s a whole series of Old Spice commercials in a similar vein dating back to last year and they all crack me up. The ones of the guy on the beach spring to mind who’s talking about being a real man. Awesome.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand youtubing NOW.

30 siovhan February 22, 2010 at 1:50 am
