Presidential abs. XD Excuse me, LOLing forever.

I think the ads are funny, personally. I dunno if that makes me a bad feminist, but I'm not losing any sleep over the commercials. :)

the fact that there is a legit "bad feminist" argument being made about this ads just makes me want to go watch PCU.

"I’ve been here for 7 years and I got to tell you guys, what’s going on here is about America. It's about democracy, it's about the bill of rights, basic cable, call waiting and free trips to the salad bar! It’s about everything that makes this country great, OUR COUNTRY! We can do something about this, we can finally say, when some people are having a good time, drinking some beers, throwing some meat, that we’re not gonna protest."

(I know I posted it lower but it was before I read the comments and your post also reminded me of it)

i love every second of these ads... adn the other ones too with POWER!GUY!!

the fact that this guy is so OVERLY stereotypical is the best part! You KNOW you want those 2 tickets to that thing you love! the best thing is that some things can just be enjoyed without having to examine the bullshit behind it. oldspice guy is one of those things...

cuz really the products kinda smell like ass

Hey, I use Old Spice scented deodorant and I don't smell like ass tyvm

Also yes, I love this guy and these commercials. And I hate commercials in general which is why I watch very little live TV. I DVR everything, except this.
