Did Wieden+Kennedy and DDB Chicago have the weirdest brainsync of them all? They both fancy using Jackie Moon as spokesperson. First he was in a hugely popular Bud Light ad during the 2008 Super Bowl XLII, now he's hanging around the same locker room espousing the virtues of le Old Spice in his trademark way. Didn't Will Ferrel at some point say "hay, guys.... I'm already playing spokesperson for another brand here, airing at the same time.." I guess not.
Sure sure, this is only a kindof a Badlander, but I think the sudden Jackie Moon trend is funny. Next up, lets see him hawk razors, hair gel and fast food!
Check the ads out:
Bud Light - Jackie Moon / Semi-pro / Will Ferrell (2008) 0:30 (USA)
Old Spice - Jackie Moon / Caveman - (2008) :30 (USA)
Old Spice - Jackie Moon / Scientist - (2008) :30 (USA)
Old Spice - Jackie Moon / Metric system - (2008) :30 (USA)
Bonus old spice which is Jackie Moon free - The "Is Old Spice right for me" ad. Yes, yes it is.
Old Spice Hair & Body Wash - Right for me? - (2008) :30 (USA)
Well, I suppose if real people can hawk different non-competing products, why not fictional ones?

PermalinkSure, it's just the timing that is funny. :) They'll be airing at the same time. He should also hawk some Wheaties breakfast of champions considering his outfit, dontchathink?

PermalinkActually, I think it would be funnier if he liked to eat Lucky Charms or some other kid's cereal.

PermalinkAt least Old Spice left the "will attract horny women" territory of Tag/Axe/lynx which is so tired now.
