I was stumbling across Youtube and happened to come across the Old Spice Commercials. We’ve seen all these before, with a handsome man, wrapped in a towel, putting on that smile and starts of his conversation with those two words that can make any woman faint, “Hello Ladies”. He then compares himself to your man and that your man could smell like him if he used Old Spice and that “anything” is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. But do we fall under his spell for his sexy image or could it possibly be the creativity and thought that goes into all Old Spice commercials through the years?
Typically, Old Spice has a very handsome man in it’s commercials, but it’s the thought and creativity that really captivate us. In one of the older commercials, a man who can’t stand to lose uses Old Spice and he and his “girlfriend” jump form having dinner to an icy fresh mountain top in a matter of seconds.
In next line of commercials, they began using a bigger, more muscular man, who would tell men that Old Spice Odor Blocker can block your scent up to 16 hours and that it can make you just as powerful as him. They then would use special effects to make his abs talk, punch someone facing in the opposite direction without moving or place him in a city where he destroys a building and yells “EXPLOSION!!!!” and it lights on fire.
Commercials today for Old Spice is now where you see the talent, played by Isaiah Mustafa, attract the ladies to convince them if your man smelled like him, anything would be possible, such as making diamonds appear from his hand, jumping from several feet into a hot tub, or traveling form one place to another, from swimming in the waters to being at home where he waiting for you. These commercials today I have to say are the most creative because of all the humor and thought is put into it. It makes people wanting more.
It’s amazing how they accomplish such a piece of work. Below is a video of the behind the scenes process for their commercial of Old Spice’s Scent Vacation.
With each new Old Spice commercial, it leaves people wondering what will they come up with next. For myself, I believe it is not the handsomely talented actor, but the creative thought and mind process that goes into all these commercials that makes them fantastic to watch and will become more popular for years to come.
