the most interesting man

so it seems that many commercials have their tag line or their 'mascot' or trademark or something. usually if it works or is 'catchy' then they just beat it into the ground - think taco bell chihuahua. when a company does that, i normally get so sick of the mascot or idea, that i grow to hate it, even if i thought it was brilliant when it first debuted. i think everyone loved the taco bell dog the first time they saw him, 75 commercials later and you wished he was never born.

sometimes though, no matter what they do with their mascot, you cant get enough of it. i got sick of the geico cavemen, but i cant get enough of the geico wad of money with the eyeballs. i have no idea what it even means. i get of course that it represents the money you could be saving with geico, but why it has eyes and there is techno music whenever anyone looks at it doesnt make sense, but i think its brilliant and im a fan.

as i was driving home yesterday i heard yet another commercial on the radio for the dos equis 'most interesting man in the world.' im sure most people are familiar with these commercials. not quite sure why im such a fan of the dos equis guy/commercials, but they are fantastic. im sure many people hear the commercials and think they are so lame, but i think they are pretty great. it just has some voice that is talking about the most interesting man in the world and giving some random characteristics or commentaries about his life. then the man comes along and says, 'i dont always drink beer, but when i do, i prefer dos equis...stay thirsty my friends.' well, unfortunately i dont drink beer, but i love your commercials and if i did, i would drink dos equis for you, my friend.

here was the commercial i heard yesterday along with a couple of their tv ads. the first and last one are great. that second to last one killed me though for some reason. so stupid, yet so funny.

He once buried a time capsule full of things that haven't happened yet.

He has been pronounced dead 7 times...make that 8.

His bear hugs are actually hugs he gives to bears.

He can't be bought, but his beard clippings have been know to show up on auction.

He has never lost a sock.

If he disagrees with you, it is because you are wrong.





in some commercials he also provides his opinion on some subjects. this one is for nellie. his response is priceless.



He'd never initiate a conversation about the weather, even in a typhoon.

When it is raining, it is because he is sad.

Even his parrot's advice is insightful.

If there were an interesting gland, his would be larger than most men's entire lower intestines.

His shirts never wrinkle.

He is left-handed. And right-handed.

Even if he forgets to put postage on his mail, it gets there.
