Best Ad of the Week: Old Spice, Ahoy
What do you get when you mix Bruce Campbell with Duran Duran? Hilarity of course, since mixing Campbell with just about anything will crack you up.
The actor teamed up with director Sam Raimi way back in 1978 in Within the Woods, the predecessor to The Evil Dead, which was the predecessor to The Evil Dead II, the movie that got them both famous.
While Raimi is busying himself with talking about what it was like writing and directing Spider-Man 3, Campbell is convincing us all to try out the new Old Spice, and to practice piano.
Advantage: Campbell.
