Instant classic.
SO glad that these are winning at all the shows. ...remember, all you cheaters out there, you CAN do real, good and effective work. For real clients.

hey Sirvan , with 1334095730 pencils u should have known that usually grand prix are real clients.. Take ur self back in ur comments and u will see. and now BACK at ths ad. It truly sucks . Its even not in the class of bud commercials.. not to mention Guinness or gorilla or other grand prix's .the only good thing that i find is that its short. And if this is the future of this business , no wonder why is falling apart.
Hello Guest, you are on a high horse. Does this ad look like Cadburry gorilla ad? No. Can it smell like that? Yes. Should old spice man use two-week-old sh*t on his body? I don't know, do you like non-sense, low-imaginative-idea scenes made to feel cool with eye-candy execution and with the borrowed interest of an old classic? Look at your lack of humor. Now back to this ad. Now back to your inability to recognise good, original copywriting. Now back to this ad. Luckily, it wasn't made by you, but if you stopped being an angry-envy man, you could smell more freshy. What's in your hand? It's a magic button you can erase this irritating guy's comment on AOTW with! Look again, the button is now a chocolate ass of a drumming gorilla. How are you? Fantastic!
Sorry, had to write it all out.
Love your comment, Dzsoi. Totally agree with you.
Excellent copywriting skills :)
Excelent!!!!
The spot is so imaginatively made, so attuned to visual pleasure, so keyed in to the indescribable something that makes advertising an art form, that it speaks of something far more elemental than mere art direction / copywriting skill: This is what advertising, at its best, can be.
Best spot of the year.
LOve it !
Best ad in the last few years.
Ciao, Axe. I'm buying Old Spice.
lol, i can see what the guy meant. NOTHING like my husband. hahahahahaha
Absolutely brilliant! So jealous I can hardly type!
Best commercial EVER.
This ad winning a GP just proves how bad the judging has become at Cannes. Don't get me wrong, this is a funny ad, but it doesn't belong amongst the best tv commercials in the world. This is pure American "Bud Light" humor and should be awarded as such.
I would say pretty fcking funny, but I am not sure best commercial ever / in last years.
so good, so brilliant
one of the best of the year
look again - the commercial is now diamonds

Never tire of watching this.

JAE SUK LEE is a cheater,
look up his works, all fake ads
but won in oneshows and cannes
what a shame
I am on a horse!
I'm on a horse! Genius and straight-forward ad.
Its been said a hundred times already but i'll say it again. these are some of the best commercials i've seen in a while! visaully appealin, humorous, intelligent...makes me want to smell old spice! :D
:"I'm on a horse" never get's old. Love it!
Amazing how simplicity always steals the show. (I have shifted to old spice, complete with the six pack)
I don't need to comment this commercial but i'm really curious to know how did the AD/CW got the inspiration and how they had presented to their creative director and how they had presented to the client on story board?, really difficult to sell such original and creative idea, i want to learn more about this experience, i saw some interviews of the AD/CW but i want to learn more!!
For my rating, i NEVER gave 10 before, but this is i think the best commercial i've ever seen! bravo!
Critics are easy.
it"s so amazing.....
I love this ad!

Normaly I prefer old fashioned men ads, where a sweaty men drinks a coke.
But this one was just funny so they got me.
