** "[[Website/CollegeHumor He always feels comfortable]].... [[InnocentlyInsensitive even when he shouldn't be]]. He once gave a touching eulogy.... [[AttendingYourOwnFuneral for a man who was still alive.]] He once watched the entire ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy in one sitting.... [[FailedASpotCheck at a busy intersection]]. [[IdiotBall His ignorance knows no bounds]]. He is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3RU_Z_oMGc The Most Oblivious Man in the World]].

!!This {{Meme|ticMutation}} provides examples of:

* CatchPhrase: "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty, my friends."

** Through [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h6_o-rvB6M&feature=related this fan-made video]], ''LightNovel/FateZero'''s ''Broskander the Great'' has now become "The most interesting heroic servant in the World."

* BeyondTheImpossible: Among other things, he can slam a revolving door, and he once gave a pep talk so inspirational both teams won.

* {{Expy}}: Literature-minded people will notice that the Man looks and acts quite a bit like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway Ernest Hemingway]]. Scrolling through Hemingway's article on Wiki/TheOtherWiki will present pictures reminiscent of the Dos Equis ads. Also, in the Paris section of the article, Hemingway is quoted as saying "the most interesting people in the world" lived in Paris at the time (as one of his motivations to move there). He's also an expy of Goldsmith's late sailing partner and friend Fernando Lamas; the bar setting is an homage to Billy Crystal's ''SNL'' homage to Lamas.

** Through [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h6_o-rvB6M&feature=related this fan-made video]], ''LightNovel/FateZero'''s ''[[FanNickname Broskander the Great]]'' has now become "The most interesting heroic servant in the World."

* BadassBeard: It's even listed on the Man's organ donor card.

* TheBusCameBack: Jonathan Goldsmith, as the Most Interesting Man, showed up in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8qJQ5srvs a rare version]] of the Super Bowl 2019 ad for Stella Artois featuring Creator/SarahJessicaParker and Creator/JeffBridges, despite Goldsmith's version being retired. Few can say they actually saw this clip, and the linked video is the only known archive of it.

* RedShirt: He played a RedShirt in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" . . . and lived![[note]]We're not kidding! Goldsmith is credited as a nameless crewman for that episode, who didn't die (at least on-screen).[[/note]]
** Denied by WordOfGod. Apparently Jonathan Goldsmith [[https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-most-interesting-man-in-the-world-played-a-red-shir-5951561 auditioned for the role, but didn't get it]].

* DashingHispanic: If he doesn't qualify due to his age, then at the least he was this when he was younger.

* TheMunchausen: The frame narrative is him telling stories of his exploits at a party. All of them are strange.

''The Most Interesting Man In The World'' is an ad campaign for Dos Equis beer which began airing in the United States and Canada in 2006. It features a distinguished older gentleman who is quite the fascinating fellow, a classier version of the Website/ChuckNorrisFacts {{Meme|ticMutation}}, with strong overtones of Creator/ErnestHemingway (er, if Hemingway were Hispanic). The above narration is only some of his purported acts. He is portrayed by Creator/Jonathan Goldsmith, a prolific character actor with credits going back to the '60s.

-->'''Tony Hale:''' ''[in Dos Equis commercial pose]'' "I don't always drink beer, but when I do-" ''[his cell phone rings and he answers a call, getting up and talking despite the director telling him they're still rolling, annoying the two actresses he is sitting with]''

--> '''Jiménez''' (after blowing cigar smoke): "Stay under par, my friends."

--> '''Grant Imahara''': "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer ''Mythbusters''."

--> "I don't always take damage... But when I do, I drink a potion."

-->''When he takes his shirt off, kittens die.''\\

--> "I don't always murder dozens of [[FantasticRacism filthy round-ears]], but when I do, I prefer [[GunsAkimbo Dos]] [[HandCannon Hand Cannons]]. Stay bloodthirsty, my friends."

*** What made this parody even more hilarious was the fact that just before resuming to the episode when it initially aired, an actual Dos Equis ad played.
