Old Spices And The Science (and nonsenses) Behind It

check out this sexy mens shampoo commercial! targeted at women xD i learnt about this old spice thingy from my friends a couple of days ago when they told me to look up the commercials. apparently this commercial caught the attention of many, such that different things related to the old spice commercial started popping out!

* due to lack of research, i cannot guarantee whatever i mention below is completely accurate ^^

this is one of the original old spice commercials (by isaiah mustafa). the interesting thing about the commercial is the instantaneous change in scenes happening in a single take. i thought computer graphics is probably heavily utilized, but it seemed otherwise from the explanation below! check out the creative production below!

(the commercial and the breakdown is sandwiched by a totally irrelevant commercial in between. but that in itself is pretty funny as well xD)

and what happened after such awesomeness?

a sesame street parody!

and many other parodies as well. some of which are pretty funny and well made! i assume the ones below are not the original.

while the original old spice guy is sexy and cool, terry crews is simply EXPLOSIVE! and he makes a strong impact too xP

the next one attracted more controversy. his version of commercial can be seen as 'awesome' or 'disgustingly spastic'. but give some credit to fabio! he kept himself in such a good shape despite his age.

what else are there? the mustafa, the original old spice guy answering questions posted to him. and he takes a dig back at fabio!
