OT: Most Interesting Man in the World... No Longer (at least not OUR world)
The Most Interesting Man in the World is retiring. Well, sort of. He's going to Mars, on a one-way trip. Seriously.
http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/09/media/dos-equis-most-interesting-man-in…
Dos Equis is apparently only retiring the actor who's been playing TMIMITW. There will be a new evolution of this ad campaign; maybe a new TMIMITW, maybe a TMIWITW, or maybe a bunch of them.
I have always loves this campaign. "His Mom has a tattoo that reads, 'Son.'" Etc. What's your favorite factoid about him? Or make ones up that OUGHT to be true about him?
I saw somewhere he is the #2 most favorite pitchman character, after the always-annoying but somewhat-hot Flo (Progressive), and after Flo's competitor Mayhem (State Farm). Well, now he's your favorite retired pitchman character.

Wasn't she arleady a famous model/actress before landing that spokesperson gig?
Somewhat successful Youtube comedy Channel, training with a comedy troupe(Upright Citizens Brigade?), and several minor roles. Not sure I'd call that famous, but not exactly out of nowhere either.
Thanks. I just remember one of the first times I saw one of those comercials, someone in the room already knew who she was. I am now at the age where I assume that means she is famous for something I am not in the loop on rather than assuming the person is weird for knowing an obscure commercial actress.
I knew who she was from like 2 episodes of House of Lies, but she was a minor character. That was the only time I had seen her before.

First I saw her was a BWW commercial. I didn't know she had actual non commercial roles. She's probably doing well just from pitching product.
I think AT&T tones it down intentionally to the "sneaky hot" look, as you say
hubba hubba!
It's like America Ferrara in Ugly Betty. They have no problem transforming an actress from hot to not-hot when they want to.
You are watching the show and you are thinking "There is something sneaky hot about that girl, and I'll bet am the only one that has noticed."
Um, not so much. She's smoking hot and they are barely able to hide it.
She could talk me into an overpriced phone and plan every two years, if you know what I mean...
The actress could, but Lily's schtick has gotten really old. Kind of like Flo.
"She'll take this seriously ..."
"Does this thing talk?"

something about this minor stalking of a celeb plus your avatar pic gives me the heebies.
Wow, she's gorgeous and stacked what a combo!
I have an unhealthy infatuation with Lily. Sadly, she's hiding things from us with her AT&T uniform. Wowza.

Her shirt buttons must come with a strain gauge.
Dig the girl who plans Jan on the Toyota commercials. She has a sneaky hottness.

Naw, more recent commercials show her pronounced too-long horse face. Her cuteness has gone way down. Too much SJP to her for my taste.

She's in the first few episodes of that new Judd Apatow Netflix Original show "Love".
So fine.
call him to make reservations.
Because Dos Equis was such a household name beer-wise prior to launching it. It never ceases to amaze me to watch successful, well-liked ad campaigns get halted just cause the firm doing the ads felt the need for something "fresh".
There is something to be said for shelving something before it jumps the shark.
But they are going to keep the whole MIMITW thing. They are just going to do it with another guy.
Sounds like it's more about the guy than the campaign.
He doesn't jump the shark, the shark jumps him.
...and his talent managers are in dispute over payments.
I think he was on the Adam Carolla podcast couple years ago and he was not interesting at all. He was actually a rather dull interview.
No less than 25 Mexican folk songs have been written about his beard.
He gave his father "the talk."
If he were to punch you in the face you would have to fight off a strong urge to thank him.
If he was to pat you on the back, you would list it on your resume.
Flo is not hot. At all.
Oh, I beg to differ, there's just something about her. It could also be a minor case of Stockholm syndrome as she has been in my life damn near every day for years, but I keep thinking there's more to her than just the headband.
Flo is gross. Zero hotness and 100% pure annoyance.

But that "sprinkles are for winners" line was pretty awesome
I just find her annoying
How is it possible that people like Flo more than TMIMITW?
