Old Spice slides headfirst into more silliness

It doesn’t take much to make people laugh. This new Old Spice spot from Wieden + Kennedy, for example, shows a guy who slides all the way from second base to home plate, while also delivering a witty, many-claused endorsement of the product, which he picks up while rounding third. The YouTube uploader describes it in simpler terms: “This dude totally keeps on sliding and it is hilarious.” See some earlier Old Spice spots here and here.

Hey,

Is this a case of you guys stealing my headline, or great minds thinking alike?
