He lives vicariously through himself. He has won the lifetime achievement award, twice. In museums, he is allowed to touch the art. He is ...

... out of a job.

Since 2006, Jonathan Goldsmith has played The Most Interesting Man In The World in a popular series of ads for Dos Equis. His catchphrase — "I don't always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis" — has worked its way into Internet culture.

But his reign is ending. The newest ad for Dos Equis shows Goldsmith, as the Most Interesting Man, taking off in a spaceship on a one-way trip to Mars.

Bring back Norm McDonald for the KFC commercials.

I'll second that! Norm was an awesome Colonel Sanders!

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I wager 20 quatloos that his replacement will be an undocumented gay Muslim socialist.

[al baby]

LOL too funny you are a sick individual you should be ashamed of yourself

[JBW1949]

Bring back the Geico cavemen......

[uncitizen]

LOL

[piytar]

Well that’s just stupid. They created a cultural icon and are now dumping him? Again, just stupid.

PS Unless he decided to retire, then it’s just life.

[Noumenon]

The ambiguously gay Sonic pals? Those guys?

[piytar]

Well if Laz is up for playing the role, I approve. After all, Goldsmith was just an actor. Laz is the real deal.

/incidentally, NO SARC

[Noumenon]

How much is that in real dollarian units?

[Axenolith]

Oh, but they have to use him to sell that idiotic concept of a one way Mars trip. The progressive’s wet dream, the final culmination of their control and death fantasies would be sending people on a one way sacrifi... er trip, to one of their pantheon of crap deities.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Next time I’ll count to 10 . . . you count to 20! :)p

[Mastador1]

Don’t forget Flo for Progressive, major irritation.

[ozzymandus]

Flo? Ick.

[Smokin' Joe]

Flo needs to go, too.

Not as bad as that annoying box thingy, and she has had a long run.

My favorite commercial of late has been the GEICO Tarzan ad. The actors in that do an outrageously good job.

[Ready4Freddy]

He took a one-way trip to Mars, and returned.

[Califreak]

Critics gotta neg.

[Ready4Freddy]

He knows Victoria’s Secret and still won’t tell anyone.

[Ready4Freddy]

He once visited the Virgin Islands and they are now known as “The Islands”.

[doorgunner69]

Flo needs to go, too.

Please, yes. They had one commercial where she was marching along, looking like she had terminal constipation. or a corncob jammed up in an awkward spot.
