The main purpose of my blog today is to talk about Old Spice’s really popular and funny advertisements. I first saw these ads in the movie theatre, and ever since then they have become a phenomenon.<\/p>\n

I think these ads are really effective for both men and the women who may buy\/influence the buying process. Old Spice has even incorporated further social media usage by being active on Twitter, and also responding to Twitter posts through Youtube videos.<\/p>\n

As you can see, this video has over 4 million hits on it! That is what I call a popularity phenomenon. What I find really interesting about these ads, though, is responses from other people.<\/p>\n
My favorite response to these Old Spice ads is actually made by Sesame Street.<\/p>\n

From what I remember from Sesame Street, they always did some pretty lame commercials that weren’t effective towards kids or parents. This is a huge leap forward for Sesame Street, as they are using modern technology and riding on the popularity of Old Spice’s ads. Good job for Sesame Street!<\/p>\n
“Now that was television! Why can’t they do shows like that more often? Well it doesn’t matter ’cause I taped it and now I can watch it any time I want.
