Has any product in history had commercials as weird as Old Spice?

    No love for Little Caesar's recent commercials?

    I just love the randomness of their commercials. The first one I posted makes me laugh every time.

    The Old Spice guy has 100+ responses to actual twitter questions on Youtube. These are spots that aren't on TV, but only on Youtube and the majority are as funny as the commercials.

    I really liked the ones with the black dude, they were off the wall but good and original. All of the OS commercials since then have sucked, with the mom songs being the worst.

    Now it seems everybody is trying to do the WTF weird commercials, and they almost always fall flat, skittles being the worst offender.

    Not as weird and definitely not as funny as some of the old spice stuff.... but that Heineken commercial they keep showing where the guy changes slightly in every scene cut is pretty odd, more so now that they cut the end showing the raft full of different people , but it was weird before that.

    I have a soft spot in my heart for the old Volkswagen commercials with PETER STORMARE! Lol this guy has all kinds of wierd attached to him. Karl Hungus, Uli Kunkel, Vee Believe In NOSSING! Give us ze moneys Lebowski!

    I told myself back then that I would buy a Volkswagen eventually, all because of these commercials. They played these in the Superbowl and they probably convinced 0 people to buy Volkswagens. Well, by summer 2015 they will have convinced 1 person to buy it.

    I love that the actor's grinning and near laughter is part of the direction, but he's also clearly fighting to keep his own composure.

    Funny and weird.

    The black cowboy is my favorite part, "it changes everything"
