I think that's "Axe" in the US.

I agree it was good production and such, but I'm just not a fan of the Tag/Axe campaigns and what they promote.

There are some excellent animated posters up in Toronto that really mad me laugh. It's the silhouette of a male torso with red neon lips kissing their way down, down, down.

I agree with you. Their "spray more, get more" is a little tired, and not really that clever.

Epic Ad though.

I think that's taking it a bit too far. Like the 'show them the way' commercial where the guy sprays along his arm and straight down his chest to you-know-where, then later the girl follows his arm, and starts moving down his chest...

I must be getting old, I clicked on this thread because I was wondering who would advertise a text-based web browser.

I think the commercials don't really take themselves all that seriously and that is what makes them funny in my opinion. I like them, I think they're brazen and entertaining.





And full of hot chicks, which can't be a bad thing.

Yeah, that's what I thought after the thread about that (IMHO stupid) Firefox ad.

By the way, in case you're wondering, Lynx doesn't have that effect.

I've tried... God knows I've tried.
