There's about 30 (!!!) short YouTube video responses at the source. WATCH.

Also, check out some interesting sociological commentary on the ads at BitchMagazine.com (click) and Bust.com (click) [hat tip: rawbery79]. They consider how the Old Spice line of ads have become guilty pleasures, the use of gender stereotypes, and whether or not they are used as tongue-in-cheek anti-stereotypes, along with whether it successfully and cleverly pushes a product.

My personal (serious) feeling on the sociological implications of the ad are as follows: I clearly do not feel bad for liking these ads, haha. I see them as an obvious and deliberately over-the-top caricaturization of gender stereotypes, even if it is, in the end, just to hawk a line of body wash.

Doesnt make me want to rush out and buy Old Spice for all the stinky men in my life. I just love the contribution to modern pop culture fads. It's like this era's "Where's The Beef?!". I approve.

pop culture, shits & giggles, silly dorkery, the tee-vees, those who rock my world, unf, higher un-learning
