YMMV / The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

• Archive Binge: These videos are quite addictive, especially considering there are hundreds of them.
• Awesome Ego:
  • Old Spice Guy is better than your man in every way, but don't worry, your man can be awesome as the Old Spice Man if he too used Old Spice and didn't smell like a lady.
  • Terry Crews, who's also well-loved because he tries to steal Isaiah's spotlight.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: There are other Old Spice men that advertised their manliness, but were they in a towel like Mustafa? No. Eventually, the campaign only used Mustafa.
• Even Better Sequel: Why smell like the man your man could smell like WHEN YOU CAN SMELL LIKE POWEEEEER!? (Terry Crews's crazier ads)
• First Installment Wins: Hello, ladies. Look at that man above, now back to me, now back at that man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. (Isaiah Mustafa's smoother ads)
  Crews: HEY! This is MY commercial!
  Mustafa: I'd like to agree with you, but then why are we... (knowing look) on a horse?
  Crews (panicking): Oh no! HIS SIGNATURE JOOOOKE! (explodes)
• Fountain of Memes: If Mustafa's said it at some point in this campaign, expect the Internet to repeat some variation of it thousandfold at least.
  • "Look at [X]. Now back to me. Back to [X]. Now back to me. Sadly, [X] isn't me."
  • "The tickets are now diamonds!"
  • "Swan dive!"
  • "I'm on a horse."
  • "Monocle smile!"^note Kevin Pereira actually said this first on Attack of the Show! in a way that mocked the ads. Mustafa (and the production crew) was amused by this and responded more kindly.
  • "Night vision top hat!"
  • While it existed before, the Old Spice whistle jingle has been firmly ensconced in the public mind thanks to these commercials.
  • POWEEEEEEERRRR!!!! Let's face it, Terry Crews is also on the way to become this due to the ads starring him and the line most prominently.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Crews' commercials are a memetic hit in Japan thanks to his character's energetic pitch and Reality Warper antics, who has been given the Affectionate Nickname "Body Soap Fairy".
  • Crews' commercials are also a memetic hit (and far more well-known than Mustafa's commercials) in Latin America.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Nogert, a YouTuber, wanted the commercials to win an award. Well guess what?
• Memetic Badass: The Old Spice Guy, and by extension any man who uses Old Spice, can perform outrageous feats like become a one man band by flexing their muscles.
• Most Wonderful Sound: The commercials wouldn't be as memetic as they were if Mustafa weren't staying every one of them in such a smooth, sexy baritone.
