Let me say without doubt that you will never forget seeing this video.  It’s called Mallakhamb, and it’s Indian pole gymnastics, and it also makes regular gymnastics look like a slumber party.  No man can watch this without cringing.  Wired has the goods.

Cripes, that looks painful.  Painfully impressive.

As God is my witness, my grandmother told me this story, just like this.

Not content to just make the most memorable ads in recent memory that I can memorize or write a memo about, Old Spice Guy has been busy filming direct responses to people on Twitter, and the interwebs at large.  There are too many to link to directly, but the Old Spice channel on YouTube has them, and man are they funny.

This is the most amazing bit of marketing I have ever seen.  The cost of doing this probably wasn’t even that much, but they probably had to have a team of writers to keep the quips coming.  Brilliant work, you can’t deny the wonderful creativity behind this campaign.

Amazing, and still hilarious.
