Old Spice and Bruce Campbell say Experience is Everything

Procter & Gamble has launched a series of Old Spice advertisements aimed at customers in their teens to early 20s, combining a sense of innuendo and old-fashioned charm. The TV ad currently doing the rounds introduces the theme, “Experience is Everything”.

Bruce Campbell, known for his role as Ash in the Evil Dead movies (which he co-produced), alternates between sitting and striding round and round the edges of a map room, pontificating on experience…

“If you have it you don’t need it. If you need it, you don’t have it. If you have it, you need more of it. If you have more of it, you don’t need less of it. You need it to get it. And you certainly need it to get more of it. But if you don’t already have any of it to begin with, you can’t get any of it to get started, which means you really have no idea how to get it in the first place, do you? You can share it, sure. You can even stockpile it if you like. But you can’t fake it. Wanting it. Needing it. Wishing for it. The point is… if you’ve never had any of it… ever… people just seem to know.”

The tagline: “Experience is Everything. Old Spice.”
