Old Spice: It’s not just strong. It’s strong strong!

Old Spice: It’s not just strong. It’s strong strong!

Old Spice has a long history of making memorable ads. Some are completely absurd and others are wildly amusing. To continue this tradition, Old Spice’s Sweat Defense antiperspirant and deodorant employed the NFL’s Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry. The spot starts off with a familiar video game interface, with Henry running for a touchdown, and then some. Our favorite part of Old Spice commercials like this one is their ability to just keep going past the normal stopping point. That feels apropos, since that’s essentially what the deodorant is selling.
