Another great Old Spice ad

Weiden+Kennedy has been killing it with the Old Spice ads, easily the best campaign of the past year. They've done a great job of breaking down the perception of Old Spice being your grandfather's deodorant with their Smell Like a Man, Man; Different Scents; Swagger; and Where Freshness Smells From ads. This ad is part of a set promoting their new bodywash.

Each set of ads has the same ridiculous quirkiness that is funny, memorable and has an appeal for both men and women. They are somewhat reminiscent of the Dos Equis ads from last year (The Most Interesting Man in the World, agency: EuroRSCG). But there is also enough variety in the themes within each set of ads which should allow the campaign to stay fresh for a while. I'm looking forward to what W+K is going to come up with next with this brand.

I think this ad is for jerks.
in all seriousness, the other set with the guy and the tickets and the boat and on a horse... those were great. These are just sort of annoying.
Fair enough. I still love these ones, they kind of remind me of the old Office Linebacker ads... but I can see where you're coming from and I may end up tiring of them quickly if they get stuck in high rotation through the first round of the playoffs.
