This Might Be the Best Commercial Ever!!

by Marie on March 10, 2010

I can’t get enough of this Old Spice commercial. I die of laughter every time it’s on. I like to do what he says: look at your man, now back to me, look down, back up. Ha! It’s so cleverly done!!

“The tickets are now diamonds!”

You’re killing me smalls.

Did you just give me a “Sandlot” reference?!! Love it!

Have you seen the “making of” video? Not only does this commercial have the best lines ever (“I’m on a horse.” Ahahahaha!) but the only CGI in the whole thing is the diamonds and bottle coming up out of his hand. The bathroom was an actual set that was yanked up by a crane, the shirt was tossed over his head, the boat was a set built on the beach, and the makers actually constructed a machine to move the guy from the boat set over to the horse AS HE IS TALKING. (Oh, right, they use a little computer magic to erase the “arm” of the machine in the last few frames.) Apparently, this was take #57 on DAY 3 of shooting to get it all to work. INSANE!

You can see the “making of” video here, but it just starts to get interesting a few minutes in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDk9jjdiXJQ&feature=player_embedded

Cracks me and my husband up, too. And the “I’m riding a horse backwards…” It’s one of the funniest ever!

We stop the DVR every time we see a glimpse of this guy! So funny!

Fawn – I’m so glad you shared this! Amazing. I like this commercial even more.

Michelle – Yes, the other “horse backwards” commercial is so funny too!!

Yep, the first time I saw it I was pretty much, what the? But so funny! Yeah… loving it

I never even see commercials because I don’t watch TV on TV, but somehow I caught this one at my mom’s house and it cracked me up enough to find it on youtube & show it to my husband. My favorite part is the “I’m on a horse” part, too… apparently horses = comedy gold.

14 Whitney March 14, 2010 at 4:18 pm

These make me laugh too! They are too funny. I love the commercial that starts out with him riding the white horse backwards is zoomed in on him. So the first time I saw it I was thinking “what is going on?” and then pans out and “oh, of course, he’s riding a white stallion backwards” LOL
