Don Draper Really Nailed These Old Spice Ads

Look, I'm an adult who has been to college (jealous?) who understands the ways in which advertising manipulates human insecurities and/or wish fulfillment in an attempt to convince over-active consumers to spend their money on terrible products they do not need. Moreover, I am not in the market for ANY kind of bodywash because soap will do just fine, thank you very much, and if I was going to subscribe to an Axe-brand lifestyle choice, I would just buy actual Axe-brand products. But these Old Spice ads are (still) so charming!
