The Most Interesting Man In The World Is . . . ANNOYING!

May 7, 2014
By: O. J. Cunningham



The last time I was this annoyed by TV commercial marketing was two or three years ago during a Valentine's Day promotion for "He went to Jared's."

But . . . It's my own fault.

I've admittedly been watching too many Game #7s during the past week of the NBA playoffs.

And this damn Dos Equis beer promo is . . . (How You Say in your Country?) EVERYWHERE!

The Most Interesting Man in the World says: "Don't rush into cinco . . . Start with dos." (And the little honey on the left just giggles.)

(That might actually be the most bothersome thing about the whole ad premise.)

Really?

That fossil? A three-way?

And she giggles? Really?

"Oh (blushing) . . . Mr. Most Interesting Man in the World." Giggle. "You're so naughty." Giggle.

Right!!!!



C'mon . . . That geezer ain't hittin' those two babes in the commercial just because it's May 5 or because he's drinking Dos Equis beer.

Every time I see the 30-second advertisement, I think about Hugh Hefner and his Playboy Bunny "girl friends."

Seriously . . . Can you spell E.S.C.O.R.T?

No . . . I ain't jealous.

And . . . I ain't buying the beer.

And I'm not EVER going to Jared.

But I am listing the top 100 "Dos Equis" quotes that continue to annoy us all . . . Well, at least they annoy me.
