TV I Love the Smell of Daddy

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Mon, Feb 11 at 1:06 PM

There’s a bunch of new Old Spice deodorant commercials starring Will Ferrell over at the Old Spice website, in which he plays Jackie Moon from his upcoming movie, Semi-Pro. Weird though this cross-promotion may be, it’s still pretty funny to hear Will describe Old Spice as “cauterizing your sweat glands shut.” CHECK IT OUT HERE!
And speaking of Old Spice, a wise (?) man once told me, “Steve, if you wear any cologne or deodorant, make it Old Spice—because it reminds women of their fathers, and they’ll subconsciously feel safe around you. Unless they were raped by their father. That could be a problem.”
I was reminded of this sage advice when I saw this classic Old Spice commercial from 1982, aptly entitled, “I Love the Smell of Daddy.” Enjoy.

Dammit Humphrey, quit giving away my chick getting ploys.

I use Old Spice deodorant for exactly this reason.
