From March to May I dropped 9 Ad Brilliance videos on you. They were new, they were raw, and they took the advertising world by tropical depression.
Since then I’ve scaled back on the vids. (Mostly because of the death threats from scared ad execs). Truthfully, it’s hard being this good at something. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep with tears of excellence.
Hey. Don’t hate the player, hate the facial hair.
Roll the clip!
(If you’re new here and confused about this video, welcome to the club. I make brilliant ads for random products because I have an insatiable desire to be a moron. Past spots include Clorox Wipes, Capri Sun, Good Neighbor Pharmacy Stool Softener, NeilMed Sinus Rinse, Harmony Remotes, Nike sneakers, Sure deodorant, Jif peanut butter, black eyed peas, my own website, Ivory Soap, and Hermit Crabs.)
My husband just shaved his beard 2 days ago. I think this may convince him that shaving was the worst decision of his life.
Or the best.
One of the two.
I’m sure it’s nothing short of sheer comic genius, but boo! that I can’t watch it on a mobile device. Why no YouTube version like the “Truth About” vids?
Never mind. For the intetested: using Skyfire on an iDevice, I was able to go to vimeo.com, search for Bryan by name, and watch all of his goofy videos. By the way, the July 2009 beard was perhaps just a tiny bit better. Well, I liked the biker vibe he gave off while sporting a Fu Manchu. Anyway, it was advertising brilliance for sure.
With your beard, you look like Seann William Scott (aka Stifler).
note to self: mail bryan a razor.
and a prescription for an anti-psychotic.
Wow.. Just wow…Brilliant!!
I think my status as a two-time Whiskerino means I should be offended by this ad. If you keep the beard through January, though, I won’t be.
Rock that beard, and get through the really itchy phase.
The scaring kids part is very accurate. I regularly scare children with my beard. I once walked into the nursery at Church, and this poor little girl just looks up staring at me… and proceeds to drop the toy that is in her hand, just like when someone gets scared in a movie.
I’m also very tempted to do a Crocodile Dundee like exchange, “You call that a beard… THIS is a beard!”
But I’ll refrain…
I’m liking the beard, keep rocking it!
i was laughing out loud at my desk on this one. bravo. btw, i’m in week two of no shaving, which for me means kind of a 5 o’clock shadow.
Oh my gosh, that was sweet! Nice head cut off shot with the orange toy gun.
I grew a beard before going to a working conference thinking I’d shave it before I had to give a presentation on the last day, but I actually got compliments so I kept it until the day after my wife arrived to start our mini-vacation.
Comparing them to the Uggs makes me think about growing it back. But do they make Uggs that look like salt and pepper, because my gray hair has infiltrated my facial hair, too…
(and I’m not even 34…)
