Old Spice Guy

[sofawall]

Quickly becoming a sensation of Youtube (to the point of being suspected for causing service errors), he is an attractive, manly black gentleman in a towel, and he responds to tweets, Facebook messages and Youtube comments with short (30-60 seconds) videos. The videos being amusing and clever, I am working my way through the list. Anyone else watch them?

[Serpentine]

Linkipoos plox.
This is the "I'm on a horse." guy, right?

[Raistlin1040]

It has to be. That guy is my hero.

[ex cathedra]

OldSpice's Channel. (http://www.youtube.com/user/OldSpice)

Ashton Kutcher, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, Kevin Pereira, Gillete, Twitter, Apollo Ohno, G4TV, Kevin Rose, and quite a few other notable people have engaged in this.

[Yulian]

Someone even posted a version of that on a Transformers board I'm on when we leaned there are actually Transformers brand colognes out there now.

Sadly he isn't me, but if it used Transformer Brand cologne instead of pine-scented air fresheners, he could smell like he's me.

Look down, back up, where are you? You're on Cybertron, with a bot your bot could smell like. What's that in your hand? Back up, I have it, it's a minicon with that power you love. Look again, the minicon is now a gun!! Anything is possible when your bot smells like a bot, and not a tree. Now I'm a Car!

Sharks should be sure to practice good oral hygiene.

[Cobalt]

He makes me squee.

And I am not ashamed of this.

[Serpentine]

Oh that Old Spice Guy, he's such a cad.

But I can't find the one that ends with "I'm on a horse" on there :smallfrown:

edit: Never mind, found it. *has a happy ^_^*
I understand why some of the answer bits have to have the product, what with it being an ad and all, but I like that not many of them do.

Don't think much of the "power" ones, though... Think someone might've been channelling Powerthirst for those. My Boy'll like 'em, I'm sure.

[sofawall]

I like the one involving a bacon factory, myself.

[Tirian]

That is one ridiculously handsome man.

[Yora]

*sigh* :smallredface:

[ninja_penguin]

I still can't believe that he responded to a 4chan one, to boot.

[Morph Bark]

The Old Spice guy instilled in me the want to shout "THE [noun] ARE NOW DIAMONDS" a lot during a conversation, where the noun would be the current topic.

[Matar]

Grats for bringing this up OP. This is seriously one of the funniest things I've seen in quite a while.


The Old Spice guy instilled in me the want to shout "THE [noun] ARE NOW DIAMONDS" a lot during a conversation, where the noun would be the current topic.

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU!?

[Dispozition]

*sigh* And I thought I was over it...Now I have to go watch the commercial again and bask in the glory of it's execution, dialogue, and pretty much everything.

[onasuma]

I spent two hours last night watching all of them. Then he went and made more. No work tonight.

[Serpentine]

It's finished now apparently :frown:

[Dispozition]

Oh god, I just realised that there are replies. These guys are godly awesome.

[Morph Bark]

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU!?

Because THE STOPPING IS NOW DIAMONDS.


P.S. That Roll avatar rocks.

[Mauve Shirt]

Wow. I'd seen the original commercial, but didn't know about this youtube channel. This guy is pretty fantastic. :smallbiggrin:

[onthetown]

Your nouns are now diamonds.

But seriously, the Old Spice guy is awesome. I squee every time I see the commericals. Just saw a new one in the movie theatre the other night; unfortunately, I didn't catch all of it, but he was jumping off a waterfall or something.

[Yora]

Probably would be this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRSB0jOSlGE).

That it?

EDIT: You ninja.

[BRC]

He is officially the King of the Internets.

[Gryffon]

Omg. Best. Thing. Evar.

[Tirian]

Wow. I'd seen the original commercial, but didn't know about this youtube channel. This guy is pretty fantastic. :smallbiggrin:

I only got turned on to the youtube channel, but hadn't seen the ads until just now. Why didn't you people tell me about them?

Holy crap, to think that Isaiah Mustafa was wasting his talents in the NFL.

[drakir_nosslin]

Fun fact: you only need to write 'ol' in the youtube search field for it to suggest 'old spice commercial'.

I like this.

[sofawall]

So, I guess I did good.

[Lifeson]

Just when you think you're over just how awesome that commercial was, the guy manages to top himself.

Next memetic badass? I think so.

Article on how they did it:

The amazing thing is they managed to make something like 87 of the replies in 11 hours. That's averaging 7.5 to 8 minutes per video.

They're also doing it semi-live. I saw a response video 3 hours after the tweet that prompted the reply...

Man, that actor has to be tired. Mad props to Old Spice and Isaiah Mustafa.

P.S. He even posted a reply to someone asking for audio for a voice mail message...

[hanzo66]

Now we just need a commercial with both him and Terry Crews.

The masculinity content would even rival this man:

[Mauve Shirt]

I'm making this guy my voicemail, as suggested in this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx-78v6WLN8) :smallbiggrin:

[Shas aia Toriia]

I really want an avatar of that guy now.

I'm on a horse and call for a spontanous avatar theme week.

[BRC]

I kind of want to make an Old Spice Guy BRCatar.
"The Revolution is now DIAMONDS"

[Giggling Ghast]

ItsJustSomeRandomGuy did a pretty good parody starring Deadpool.

Personally, I think the commercials are just a bit odd. I was kind of like "what the hell?" when I saw the one with a horse the first time.

[chiasaur11]

Heard the fellow wants to play Luke Cage.

Might be good at it.

[SMEE]

This guy is awesome and soooooooooooooo hot.
*sigh* :smallredface:

[Mr. Scaly]

I laugh so hard every time I see these commercials. :smallbiggrin: I tried describing them to my sister...but how do you describe something like that?!

[oximoron98]

my entire family could not stop laughing its so infectous

[Jibar]

Heard the fellow wants to play Luke Cage.

Might be good at it.

I would support this,
But I think the guy who does the Power Old Spice ones should do it.
A totally overblown Luke Cage, brimming with muscles and shouting would be fantastic.

Does she like the smell of adventure? Does she like the smell of a man who can make her a gourmet cake in a dream kitchen that he built for her with his own hands? Does she want to swan dive into the best night of her life?

Then she should totally watch the commercials.




P.S. He even posted a reply to someone asking for audio for a voice mail message...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8JsvwUcok0

I set that as my voicemail and got everybody who lives with me and my friends to call just so that I wouldn't pick up and they would hear it. My mom squee'd.

[Tirian]

My goodness, I don't want to smell like him at all.

Look again, the tickets are now STEROIDS!

[Lycan 01]

Capcom posted a pic on Facebook last now parodying Street Fighter, showing Old Spice Guy vs. The Most Interesting Man in the World. And then today there was an article about him on Yahoo News earlier. Is Old Spice Guy the new Chuch Norris? :smalleek:

[Syka]

Yora,

I'll be using one of those avatars. :smallcool:

Ever since I saw the original "I'm on a horse" commercial, I've loved it. I laugh EVERY time I see it on TV, and I discovered this this morning....I can't remember why or how I stumbled across it, but I did. Sadly, I've only seen the Rose McGowan one thus far.

I SO want to use some of his monologue for a ringtone now. :smallbiggrin:

[wadledo]

I am so happy I saw this.

[Otogi]

You know what? I hate this guy. Like a lot. I hate him everytime I see his goddamn face on TV or online or whatever. And you know why?

Because I'm jealous. Like 100% in envy of that dude. I mean, look at him: he's charming, handsome, manly, gentlemenly, cool and most importantly, awesome! He makes tons of hilarious videos and now this whole video-per-question thing? That's too much greatness; there should be a law, or at least some kind of taboo limit. But I guess I'll just have to deal with all this guy who I have to be begrudgingly sexy and fantastic. Damn it.

Yes, he is.

Find the video about Men's Fashion, where he changes which colors are "In" several times, simply by declaring it to be so.

[sol-decentguy]

I think the Terry Crews commercials were the best, I'm not really into the comedy of the new guy. Still I did like the reference to the Mulan song

puh-puh-PUH-puh Power!

[Innis Cabal]

Just sad they were directed by Tim and Eric. The Terry Crews one's would have been so much better otherwise.

Aren't the point of these to base it off your own, not change it completely? :smalltongue:
I feel... manly.

[Teutonic Knight]

You too! Kid Kris, what program do you use for OotS stuff and how is your exported image resolution so good?

Also nice avatar.

[Ashen Lilies]

I use Paint.NET which is a raster program, not a vector like Inkscape. I basically just make all my avatars at 480x480 then shrink them down before saving them as a .png or what-have-you.

[golentan]

I think I became pregnant after watching one of those ads, and I'm male at the moment!

Yeah, I actually enjoy these ads. I normally view ads as irritation that I put up with for cheap tv or videos, but I will actually watch these ads.

[FoE]

I think I became pregnant after watching one of those ads, and I'm male at the moment!

At the moment? What, do you live in an anime cartoon and hurl insults at witches and foxes with multiple tails?

[golentan]

I wish. Reality is far less convenient.

For one thing, I don't look like Old Spice Guy. For another, neither does my friend.

[Elder Tsofu]

This is awesome.

You're on a boat. :smallamused:

[Dogmantra]

So I'm the only one that finds these a bit boring and not particularly funny then?

Remember, he gets paid for each one of those.

He is probably so glad to be getting work this steady and it shows.

http://www.onlygoodmovies.com/images/content/badass-luke-cage.jpg

Totally. Shouting SWEET CHRISTMAS!!! at the top of his lungs? Pure gold.

You know what else I like about this whole thing with this guy though? He's cool, he's awesome, all the ladies love him, all the guys want to be him (or love him, depending), and he's black, and nobody cares about that. Just 30 years ago we wouldn't have this, he'd have been a "niche market" guy, we would be denied the pure win of this guy. Isaiah Mustafa breaks down all barriers, except that THE BARRIERS ARE NOW DIAMONDS.

Anything is possible with Old Spice Guy.

Probably not. You're in the vast minority, however.

I saw pretty much all of these and all of their epicness. And my voicemail is now diamonds. :smallbiggrin:

I melted at the video he directed towards his daughter. I mean, this guy is some sort of cross between Chuck Norris and Neil Patrick Harris. Brilliant. SILVERFISH HAND CATCH!

Thanks for the link, Tirian. Now if I just knew how to make that my voicemail message...

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

So I'm the only one that finds these a bit boring and not particularly funny then?

Not at all, I don't find them all that entertaining either. Granted the writing is somewhat clever, but other than that, I don't think they're all that great. Although they are infinitely better than the ones with the guy screaming and growing extra arms or having his abs talk. I think I actually lose brain cells watching those commercials.

[Tirian]

That one I don't know. In general, I suppose you could get to the point where you wanted to record your greeting and then put the microphone up against your computer's speakers and play the .mp3 file.

[Joran]

I wonder if they'll ever put together the epitome of manliness in commercials. The Old Spice Man and the Most Interesting Man in the World.

He lives vicariously through himself.

I had no idea this was a sensation, but I've been exposed to an amusing Dark Heresy re-write.

Ahem:


Acolytes, look at your Inquisitor. Now back to me. Now back at your Inquisitor. Now back to ME.

Sadly he isn't me, but if he ceased his Puritan activities, he could smite daemons like he's me.

Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a cruiser, with the Inquisitor your Inquisitor could smite daemons like. What's that in your hand? Back up, I have it, it's a grimoire of true names, with the names of all your enemies in it. Look again, the grimoire is now a daemon hammer. Anything is possible when your Inquisitor is a Radical. I'm on a juggernaut!


Considering that I've never actually seen them, I hope I haven't butchered it too badly.
