i live in alabama, and i’ve seen that centaur commercial a lot. (it comes on during [adultswim]) but they’ve never showed the whole thing before! the part with the lady/”provider” thing? not there. the commercial ends after he talks about the stuff and sets it on his…haunches?

i always thought it was wacky. but seeing the whole thing, it is creepy. it’s also creepy that someone is censoring commercials shown in the south. not suprising, mind. just weird.

That Axe commercial with the chocolate man creeps me out. I had an awful dream the other night where I was trying to stop the Axe chocolate guy from killing my mother. In Axe’s defense, I had also watched most of The Shining immediately before going to bed. The centaur Old Spice commercial is weird, but I haven’t had any terrifying nightmares about it, so I’ll give it a pass.

But the centaur’s face looks like James Roday, only scruffier.

And I really wish there were a commercial IMDB because i need to know more about mr. Wildflowers-and-shame.

The original scent is both my body wash and deodorant. Of course, with all the “arctic blast!” and “mountain rush!” crap they now have, it’s harder to find in stores than some sickly Axe-wannabe scent.

old spice “classic” does have the great slogan of “if your grandfather hadn’t worn it, you wouldn’t exist.”

I had the same thoughts on this commercial. I found it very creepy. I also think the Axe commercial with the guy made of chocolate who walks around as women eat pieces of him is weird.

I have to admit, I have a certain fondness for Old Spice myself. It was the only thing my old man wore for cologne and for that reason will always be associated with going to Mass and other dress up occasions.

Personally, I don’t wear colognes, but there is a bit of nostalgia that I get on those occasions when I get a whiff of the stuff.

Hmmmmm…. lack of Old Spice was the reason I turned out as an atheist? I’ll have to ask my younger bro, since he got on the godless boat once he was out of the house too. He doesn’t wear cologne either. Coincidence? I think not.
