Doogie Howser Endorses Old Spice

doogie_old_spice.jpg

In the classic style of the make-believe doctor-style ad, former make-believe doctor Doogie Howser a.k.a. Neil Patrick Harris vamps soap opera-style for Old Spice Pro Strength Anti-Perspirant. In the commercial, he plays up the fact he used to be a fake doctor and that, combined with the fact one does not need a prescription for Old Spice, makes it prfectly OK for him to recommend it.

It’s one of the better spoof-style commercial that’s come along. Created by Wieden + Kennedy, the commercial is accompanied by print.
