It would have been better on location, instead of in front of static backdrops. But yeah, that’s pretty funny.

Honestly, it pales in comparison to the actual Old Spice ads, and even to something your typical youtube teen parodist could come up with. And, (I’m allowed) it’s kinda gay.

OTOH it’s Vermont, which I love, and it appears to be someone trying to be an honest help the people campaigner, so extra kudos to him.

OTOOH, your link makes it temporarily confusing as to whether it’s Dan or Pat that is in the ad…
