** College Humor did a video with David Hale as "The Most Oblivious Man in the World":
-->"He once gave a touching eulogy.... for a man who was still alive. He once watched the entire ''LordOfTheRings'' trilogy in one sitting - at a busy intersection. His ignorance knows no bounds [clip of him not recognizing his own daughter and shutting her out of the house]. He is the Most Oblivious Man in the World."

** {{WWE}} [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnUXXdTogXg did one as well.]]

''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 ChuckNorrisFacts {{Meme|ticMutation}}.

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

* CrazyAwesome: InUniverse

* DeathGlare: His advice for self defense? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX6M7-rAFJE "The right look should suffice."]]
* {{Expy}}: Literature-minded people will notice that [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway he looks and acts quite a bit like Ernest Hemingway]] turned UpToEleven. Scrolling through Hemingway's wikipedia article will present pictures reminiscent of the Dos Equis ads. Also, in the Paris section of the article he is quoted as saying they are "the most interesting people in the world."
** He's also an expy of Fernando Lamas (the bar setting is actually an homage to Billy Crystal's SNL homage to Lamas).

* InvertedTrope: In case you hadn't noticed, everything he does is the OPPOSITE of what would normally happen. Including the fact that he's a beer mascot that doesn't always drink beer.
* TheMedic: "In most countries his medical advice qualifies as a health care plan"
* MemeticBadass: InUniverse

* NoodleIncident: The commercials are pretty much all these, bits and pieces of footage from the character's various adventures. Notable ones include speeding away in a lifeboat full of beauty pageant contestants, and leading several foreign dignitaries through a cave with nothing but a lighter and a snappy tuxedo.

** Steve Nash did some parodies of him for some Vitamin Water commercials while he was proclaimed as "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdNiXidfLcc The Most Ridiculous Man In The World]]."

--> '''Grant Imahara''': "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer ''{{Mythbusters}}''."
** And recently, ''Series/SoRandom'', a ''kids''' show, got in the act with Grady Mitchell as "The Most Coolest Kid in School". The difference? He endorses 3 different things!

** A meme-generated picture read: "I'm not always racist, but when I am, it's on Xbox Live".
