Isaiah Mustafa is Ready for the Telly Once Again

OLD SPICE GUY IS BACK...

Where did he go?


The one and only Old Spice guy is back, as the new spot from W+K Portland clearly states. It’s one of a few clips that will pop up beginning in February and plugs the brand’s Fresh line of deodorants, body washes, etc. Just stare into his eyes until the big payoff for fans happens several days before the ad premieres on national TV on Feb. 7 and will let them decide how and when the public will see the new campaign. Stay tuned…

I AM BEAUTIFUL DAMMIT!!!

If this doesn't make you want to whip your hair, nothing will: Willow Smith meets Sesame Street in electric new viral



Surely it wasn't that long ago that Willow Smith was watching Sesame Street herself.



Now her first single has been given a Sesame Street makeover - and the result has been electric.



A YouTube mash-up of nine-year-old Willow's 'Whip My Hair' has been set to footage of a Sesame Street skit entitled 'I Love My Hair'.



Two days on, the mash-up has gone viral - catapulting young Willow's first song into the stratosphere and taking the internet by storm.



The video also represents another viral success for Sesame Street after its clever parody of the infamous Old Spice man commercials - starring Grover. The original 'I Love My Hair' skit features a muppet singing about all the different ways she can wear her hair.



The message was meant to be a boost for young girls with African-American hair - an affirmation that their natural hair is beautiful and that they do not need long, straight hair to feel proud. The original has been viewed nearly 300,000 times on YouTube in the five days since it was posted there. Thousands of comments on the video were praising Sesame Street for the message.



But then Willow Smith released just a few lines from her new single 'Whip My Hair'.

GROVER says - Smell Like A Monster



Sesame Street's parody of the Isaiah Mustafa Old Spice advertisement had become an instant hit on the Internet, proving once again that the children show remain popular with adults as well.



In the Old Spice parody, Sesame Street's Grover tells audience why is it important to smell like a monster and using the word "on" correctly in the show's rip-off at the "Man Your Man Could Smell Like" advertisement.



"Anything is possible when you smell like a monster and know the word on," quips Grover. The Sesame Street parody of the Old Spice advertisement had received more than two-million hits in the Sesame Street channel.

One viewer said, "This goes to show you that it is possible to write children's entertainment that is genuinely clever."

Does Your Man Smell Like A MAN?



Old Spice man is on a boat. CRACKS ME UP!!! I LOVE IT! LOL!!!!



More on that shortly. A quickie TV spot features Isaiah Mustafa in a boat, shirtless, with a romantic picnic basket filled with fruit, bread and cheese. His mustache is easily interchangeable with a clean-shaven look. A trio of print ads show Mustafa covered in bubbles and riding a motorcycle, atop a sudsy horse and channeling his inner lumberjack. I saved the best for last. Yesterday, Isaiah Mustafa answered fan questions with personalized videos. Oh yeah, my friend Amy got a personalized message. He said "I'm on a motorcycle," the line she was hoping he'd utter in his previous ad, along with other lines that involved wood, hot tubs and pizza. So she had a good-looking, shirtless man, flexing his pecs, talking about food and directing it all to her? BITCH!!!

Do you need some Old Spice?

We know Tracy Morgan declared that Black people don’t watch the Winter Olympics on "Letterman" and "Ellen," but if you have been tuning in to the competitions in Vancouver, you've noticed a topless man riding a horse on a beach, promoting Old Spice during the commercial breaks. That’s former Seattle Seahawks receiver and actor Isaiah Mustafa. And you're not the only one whose noticed him. People.com did some investigating and found that Mustafa's been blowing up since his first Old Spice commercial launched on YouTube on February 4 and over 3+ million views to date.

His bawdiness in the advertisement was not planned, Mustafa told Los Angeles Times. The day before shooting the commercial, he called a friend from college and left an exaggerated rehearsal of his script on his friend's voicemail. He decided to try it for the ad-heads and they loved it. So, Black Male Models Can Work! Right?
