This is the funniest television advertisement I've seen in a long time. It is incredibly unique and has a brilliant concept. So many ads today try so hard to do ANYTHING but appear to be selling us a product. They try to be as subtle in their promotion as possible to the point where it's almost insulting to the consumer because it's as if their saying "AHA! We tricked you! You want to buy this product and we didn't even ask you to!
What I love about this commercial is that it does just the opposite. It hits you over the head with a highly exaggerated, ridiculous, impossibly overt message that says, "buy this deodorant and smell like this man who is sexy, charming, rich, and on a horse." It seems to poke fun at traditional advertising while using one of it's oldest techniques simultaneously.
I love this whole campaign Old Spice is using currently and I hope it continues for a long time!
