Apparently Old Spice makes soap now… I think.

I don’t pretend to be a wily veteran of advertising. There is still a lot for me to see. But when I find a spot like this, it blows my mind.

HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET CLIENT APPROVAL!?

Since this is an advertising blog, I’m contractually obliged to post the new Old Spice ad.

Actually, this one is kind of funny.

I think 2012 will go down as the year that advertisers the world over agreed that things don’t need to make sense.

So here’s a giant rubber duck on the Thames.

I’ve been hard on Old Spice in the past, but this is just too good.

I actually got bored quickly and gave up on the game, but they already won my affection with the teaser video.

You can try the game here.

I think Copyranter got this one right when he said,

“It makes no sense! I know! Who cares!

It’s fucking underwear.”

It’s true. I don’t really need my underwear ad to makes sense. Just make me like you.

I’m calling it. As of 9:41 on Friday, November 16th, the Old Spice revival is officially dead.

Thank god.

Thanks, PETA.

It was already difficult enough to get me to eat vegetables.

If I get scurvy, I’m suing you guys.

I’m sad to say, this Litter Genie did not live up to its predecessor.

How do you evaluate the absurd? I don’t know. But I liked the first one. I hate this one.

The most epically absurd advertisement ever made.

EVER.

I think this is just some guy (KATASHNIS85) and no agency involvement. I also have no idea whether it’s a real product. But goddamn. That was intense.
