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.

That’s interesting.
While we are on the subject of commercials that need to be burned alive at the stake, I need to cast a vote for the “Cars for Kids” commercial.
I know it is for a good cause.
But that jingle they have with it is so hideously irritating that if I hear the first note of it (and they start the commercial with it) I will rip my buds out of my ears, post-haste.
I HATE the Liberty commercials.
I hate the ADT ad where “M. ADT” is a big, strong black man protecting your home, and the two thieves in the background are white. Yeah; that’s reality.
I do like the Liberty Mutual Asian girl, however.
Which one?
“Happy Dance” Asian Girl?
“Perfect” Black Couple?
“Spreadsheet” White Girl?
“Three Wheels” Black Girl?
“What are you doing with that insurance company?” White Guy?
“Poster Child” Black Girl?
I’m sure I’ve missed one or two, at least.
Yup...the name fits.
Huh? Whazzat? Did you say something?
And Flo.
With fire. Lots and lots of fire.
Getting old sucks. Everything hurts.
I’d do the “happy dance” with either of them.
The Sonic dude that sits on the left needs a trip to the sun.
I've thought for a long time that they actually hurt the brand. One wonders if their idiocy is linked to their diet. Hmmm, maybe best to avoid Sonic lest I turn out that way.
Sonic has food? I only buy the slushes during happy hour(s).
The guy who says, “Don’t those people know you’re already shaken up?” Bugs me more.
“I’m looking at the numbers, and I just can’t give you full value for your car.”
“But I’m shaken up!”
“Oh! OMG! I didn’t realize! Hey, my manager just told me to give you full value!”
The guy in the photo’s ad does annoy. “How can my car depreciate before its first oil change?
I go to a dealership. The salesman shows me two cars. “This one is brand new, never owned. This one had one owner, 5,000 miles. They are both $24,000. Which one do you want?”
Dumbest add on TV, Gillette.
