I really enjoy this old spice commercial and consider it one of my favorites. The reason that I like it is because of many different reasons but the first and most important to me is that it is funny. Whenever humor is involved I tend to pay more attention to the whole commercial instead of just changing the channel and moving on. Humor gets me to stop but sometimes people can go over the top and make it almost goofy which I do not like at all and seem to dismiss the product immediately. When a commercial is too goofy I tend to question the accountability of the product and if it really works. The humor that the old spice ad is a little more subtle than other commercials that I have seen, another reason I like it is because it makes fun of itself with the whole line of "smell like a man, man". You will be as cool as me if you use old spice which is the obviously idea behind the whole commercial. I also believe that the actor that they choose to play the character was perfect casting. Also the actors voice is almost Barry White type and is soothing enough to make you believe him and allow you to take accountability in the product because the character makes you believe it. I also like how the background is what changes and the actor never seems uncomfortable or awkward which again helps reinforce the idea that this is the man that you want to be so if you uses old spice you will be.
