Axe Commercials (Commercial Talk Post)

Isaiah Mustafa is LUKE CAGE

DerHasisttot says...

"Back in August, Isaiah Mustafa (Old Spice guy) posted several photos of himself as the Marvel character Luke Cage in hopes of getting the studio's attention and giving himself a chance to play Cage in a feature film.

He then revealed: "I've already had a meeting with Marvel. They have something in mind and I definitely want them to see that I'm extremely passionate about it. I will do anything to get that role."

Apparently "anything" means a video of Mustafa playing Cage. Check it out below and let us know if he is the right person to play the character on the big screen."

DQ's commercials are just trying too hard to by the Old Spice guy...


I agree they are trying to emulate the Old Spice feel. Many others are doing the same. I think these DQ ads though are the first to make the emulation work.

Funny how this is pretty much the exact same video as the one with the Old Spice guy -- and yet you didn't hear anyone crying that he was being objectified. Why is it okay for a guy to do this, but crass exploitation when a woman does it?


I disagree. The old spice commercials were tongue-in-cheek and meant to parody stereotypes, whereas this is just wank material pandereing to beer swilling sport jocks.

Yet it also reached #1 so I guess it panders to lonely internet nerds also.

granted, in the context of these videos ... i pretty much agree with you.

but i was talking with a friend last night about sex in advertising and when it crosses the line from benign to misogynistic. i think it's something that has to be viewed as an aggregate. like, one single beer commercial or one single playboy is not that big of deal, but 3 generations of constant negative and unrealistic images of women in the media is damning and takes its toll on our culture at large. and i think it's impact is (mostly) negative.

and of course, i recognize that there is a harmful and unrealistic ideal of manliness yelling at us on our tv sets as well. but i'm not sure if it's as big of a problem. it might be, i don't live my life as a man. maybe it's a struggle that is more internalized.

The implication seems to be that any woman in this position is somehow a victim who needs to be protected -- but of course a guy doing the exact same thing is a just cool dude bein' awesome. It can't possibly be that this woman is comfortable with her sexuality and likes being admired. No -- she's a victim of our terrible, terrible society who needs to be protected from her own bad choices. But a guy doing the exact same thing? Awesome, man. Rock on.
Seems like a double standard to me. And more than a little insulting to women.
