Old Spice Dan
He's in a doctor's office. He's jogging in Vermont's great outdoors. He's littering on Main Street. Oh, and look, there he is in front of the Capitol. Long-shot Vermont Senate candidate Dan Freilich's spoof on the Old Spice ad campaign is equal parts brilliance and failure. It was wise to take inspiration from the deodorant company's viral-marketing smash success, but Freilich falls woefully short on the delivery. And sophomoric editing and tacky stock photos don't exactly help matters. Sorry, Dan. Old Spice–inspired or not, we think your video stinks.
