That my 17-year old and his buddies are DYING to see.

[Edgy MD]

Howie and Josh sounding like drunken college kids, trying to find new ways last night to read the same Wendy's promo inning after inning.

That's your target audience, right there. When I was 17 I would have felt exactly the same.

Crazy Tex-Mex bitch goes all knifey-stabbey while creating new recipes for Taco Bell�.

There may be more to it than the usual boom-wisecrack-boom-- Guillermo Del Toro (of Hellboy/Pan's Labyrinth/Devil's Backbone renown) is behind the lens.

there's just gotta be more to it. i mean there's just gotta. it just seems so.. lacking.

i mean, giant punchy robots driven by a pair of guys in some sort of mind meld is cool, i suppose, but is that really enough to carry a movie?

[Edgy MD]

So, MLB.tv shows this add over and over with two California Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim plugging Head and Shoulders with All-Spice. (And by the way... yuck.) I think they're both outfielders. Two questions, though:

1) Who are they?

2) In the last shot, the camera pulls back and shows the set and the boom mic, and a woman comes up and sniffs the hair of the player who supposedly had just delivered the last line of the commercial. He asks her a question after she sniffs him, but I can't figure out what it is. I crank up the volume on my laptop and turn my ear toward the speakers, but it makes no sense at all to me. It's like that Star Trek: TNG episode where Picard is stuck on a planet with Paul Winfield and he's talking words but they make no sense. I think I've psyched myself out of figuring this out. What does he say?

[Frayed Knot]

I've seen that ad without ever really paying attention to it.
One of them is pitcher CJ Wilson. Josh Hamilton is in a hair ad too although that might be a different one.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

They were giving away samples of that stuff at Fan Fest. I think the guy is CJ Wilson.

Have you seen any other Old Spice ads of late? The whimsical uber-masculinity angle is kindasorta a thing with them, starting with the Man Your Man Could Smell Like spots...

... and veering into the more floridly-, aggressively-weird with the Tim-and-Eric-directed Terry Crews spots.

(Full disclosure: I'm such a sucker for these.)

[Edgy MD]

But what does he say?!

[Ceetar]

[Edgy MD]

Stills from your Google Glasses freak me out.

[Zvon]

But what does he say?!

On his way to and up the wall he says:
"....with a double dose of confidence like that......"

And then CJ finishes the sentence.

[Fman99]

Women debate their love for the avocado at Subway and then furiously masturbate off camera.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I kinda have a thing for Cindy, the Lee's Toyota spokesbabe.

[Edgy MD]

But what does he say?! On his way to and up the wall he says: "....with a double dose of confidence like that......" And then CJ finishes the sentence.

No, it's some question CJ asks the woman.

The woman who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag? Not that she really displays it there, but I got a hunch. IIRC he says something like "are you supposed to do that?"
Not positive. I wasn't listening for that part. I will next time. Its on enough. Now I won't see it for a week

They really get his motor going.

Local, outer-borough car-company chicks. There is something appealing to the less-than-pristine prodction value to these spots that makes their spokesbabes so much more desirable than say the irritating receptionist in the national Toyota commercials. Cindy has a very subtle exotic look and really long hair.

"Is that how you are supposed to record sound?"
I think.

[Edgy MD]

Just watched the Head & Shoulders/Old Spice ad and as best as I can tell, the lady smells Wilson's hair, he raises his eyebrows in puzzlement, turns, and says, "This the way you guys electro curtail?"

The heck?

lol. "Is this the way you guys always record sound?"

[Guest d'Kong76]

The ticket fees we charge are outrageous, but this week
we'll waive them so you'll come buy some hot dogs we have
to get rid of before they expire.

[Fman99]

You know what's so awesome about the Internet? WATCHING THE SAME FUCKING FIOS COMMERCIAL OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Old MacDonald has one adorable tic problem.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Facial hair coloring will turn you into a chainsaw sculptor.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

People run with sparklers through our coverage area, so that's why you should choose Verizon.
