Those Old Spice commercials....

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Those Old Spice commercials....

Post by Rock »

...must be revenue gold. After watching those spots multiple times, I figured out it wasn't the visuals that captured my attention. After all, in a CGI world, not much visually grabs us anymore, does it? Nope...it was the copy. Strong call to action, brief writing, with a nice touch of humor. Also, the script ties back into the product, unless like so many humorous commercials that deliver laughs, but you can't remember the frakkin' product afterward. 8)

Seeing as how at least 2 of them are directly targeting women, that would make sense. Having no clue about the gays, I'll defer to your opinion.
