Default Old Spice guys to duel July 26 - 12 PM EST

Old Spice has been running ads with Fabio talking up how he's better than the old Old Spice guy, Isaiah Mustafah. There's been a challenge laid out by Fabio here:



and accepted here.


Another awesome campaign, just wanted to share. Old Spice's marketing team has been great the last few years.

Who knew deodorant was so exciting?

Pretty funny stuff. Loved the bit about the NFL labour negotiations.

I saw the challenge but didn't realize Old, Old Spice Guy had already answered. I hope it's awesome, the Old Spice commercials are by far my favourite for a product I don't use.

Add me to the list of dudes who've ended up using Old Spice body wash over the last couple years for no particular reason.

Heard it here first: MattyC prefers Canucks fans. Prepare ridicule and ostracization

Ugh, Fabio. I removed my 'Like' on facebook just to avoid this nonsense, it was spamming the crap out of my newsfeed.

I dislike these commercials. Found the original, and maybe the 2nd one innovative, but now they are just repetitive and weak. Approaching Panago status.

Panago adds make me want to punch children.

Those adds were never good. Ever.

^I actually boycotted Panago while that campaign ran. Though it wasn't as bad as "Mr. Wendy, unofficial spokseman", who was so bad that Wendys was actually losing customers because of it.

Agreed. This campaign was done in one. Every subsequent TV ad has tried to top the first, and inevitably failed. However, that only speaks to how brilliant the first commercial was.

The Fabio commercials feel to me like the campaign has jumped the shark.
