> [@Ruken](#): > > I don’t understand ☹ He is the central character in the current Dos Equis beer ad campaign. The ads are entertaining. See an example below: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8Bc0WjTT0Ps/hqdefault.jpg "Most Interesting Man In The World") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bc0WjTT0Ps) Here are some more quotes: He was once found guilty, of being innocent. When he wakes up the roses smell him. His bear hugs are actually hugs he gives to bears. You cannot buy him, but occasionally trimmings from his beard come up in auctions. ---
