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.

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.
thread for it, but Syracuse just lost to Pitt. First bit of possibly good bubble news in a while.
I Pos'd this, whether it works or not.
that case, I will also point out to you that Michigan is back into "First Four Out" on Bracket Matrix before the Syracuse loss (who is now 19-13 and will not make the tournament). The master plan is coming together (Evil laugh).
"He skips the first date" Now thats G!
For me it was kind of nostalgic as I go way back, remembering the KFC ads that had the real Colonel in them. But these new ones were better, being funny as well.
Darrell Hammond? I dont remember those but I do remember Norm MacDonald and wondered what happened to him in the ones thaqt have been shown the last couple wees.
Darrell Hammond is a woman!
She used to be really hot (Splash) then later sort-of-hot (Kill Bill), and now really isnt.
Jim Gaffigan is a better Colonel Sanders.
They should have Harbaugh as the next one!
I mean, Harbaugh is objectively pretty much the most interesting coach in the world. No way to argue that...
Flo is not hot.

One of the little known facts about The Most Interesting Man In The World is that he once wore a red shirt on an epsiode of the original Star Trek and lasted the entire episode unhamred.
Then he's obviously not drinking enough.
Unharmed, yes, but he had to oil up Shatner for the scene.
He can speak French...in Russian.
you would feel compelled to change it.
When the odds are 50/50, he has an 80% chance of success.
Presidents take his birthday off.
He is . . .
the Most Interesting Man in the World.
Stay thirsty, my friends.
But that was a good ad campaign. Not one of the all-time greats, but still very good.
/I'd like to buy the world a coke....
I haven't the slightest idea what mule piss tastes like, so I'll take your word for it
It tastes like Dos Equis, I thought that was pointed out?
+1
Dos Equis is a terrible beer.
I like the lager version in the green bottles. They had it all over the place when I was down in Mexico. You can get it in the US at a lot of places if you ask.
All Mexican beer tastes like mule piss. I never understood the Corona craze. Stuff is garbage.
I have had Bohemia couple times and it might be the best Mexican beer. It isn't great, but it is so much better than that Corona trash.
Bohemia Negra was my absolute favorite when I was down in Mexico City a few years ago. I stopped drinking the rest out of principle after a while as I don't get the appeal of Mexican beer at all.
Bohemia is good but it's a bit more of a heavy lager. I personally like the lighter flavor of Pacifico, which has become sufficiently popular that a few restaurants (esp Mex or Tex-Mex) carry it now.
Now, I recall years ago taking a swig of Simpatico, and thinking: it tastes like water. Like, wet liquid, nothing else to be said for or against it.
will last as long as New Coke.
911 calls him in an emergency.
1. Football needs to get here.
2. In Fort Worth (nicknamed Cowtown), Dos Equis had a great billboard with TMIMITW: In a town of many cowboys, he's a cowman.
and the best was the sequence (without dialogue) that appears to show him cracking up the Dalai Lama
Uber drivers have his app, just in case he needs a ride.
@jimharbaughfact
When he drives a new car off the lot, its price increases in value.
He once made a Weeping Willow laugh.
He has won the lifetime achievement award, twice.
If opportunity knocks and he isn't home, opportunity waits.
Mosquitos refuse to bite him out of respect.
He has inside jokes with people he's never met.
He is the most interesting man in the world.
When in Rome, they do as he does
Dos Equis sales have nearly tripled (!!!) since this ad campaign started in 2007.
That's pretty incredible. As mGrowOld said --- when it's working like THAT, why the hell stop?!?!?!? Not sure if the Brand or the Ad Agency is making that call, but whoever it is, it seems like a silly decision.
I believe that guy is an American.
due to HARBAUGH! Also agree on the ATT girl, Milana Vayntrub.
I loved him on "Rescue Me" as Tommy (Denis Leary)'s brother the prosecutor.
