THE BEST OLD SPICE GUY:<\/p>\n

This is Old Spice man. His real name is Isaiah Mustafa and he is made of awesome. His short sentences are catchy, random, and charming.\u00a0 Much like\u00a0the ones I\u00a0am writing now. When spoken aloud, you will sound like Adam West. Short phrases for the win. Did I mention this ad is also really random? I’m on a horse.<\/p>\n
Ok, but seriously. This ad has got some awesome features and has been immitated by people ever since it’s airing. What better way to revitalize an old brand with a new direction …namely a ridiculously good looking man named Isaiah Mustafa.\u00a0The hilarious script combined with Isaiah’s Batman-like intonation\u00a0\u00a0makes the ad quirky, and altogether unforgettable. The only problem is that Isaiah has been replaced.<\/p>\n
In early September, Procter and Gamble\u00a0 (P&G) released a new series of Old Spice commercials, sans the handsome Mustafa. To this I cry out WHY!<\/p>\n
In the newer O.S. commercials, the jokes seem less funny, the\u00a0set more hokey, and the\u00a0masculine association of the brand\u00a0shrivels up along with my disappointment. \u00a0The new “manliest man” of Old Spice can be seen in the link below and carries none of the class or good looks that Isaiah brought to the table. All that goes on in my head as I watch this ad is confusion. Who is this guy? Why does he look so old?\u00a0\u00a0Where is my charming Isaiah Mustafa?! Needless to say, without Mustafa as the face of O.S,\u00a0I become uninterested and tres disappointed. Maybe when they bring him back will I feel like my world is complete. Until then, I will get on my horse and ride. HYA!<\/p>\n
