Guitar-Slinging Dessert Ads

The Dairy Queen Commercial Parodies the Old Spice Guy

— March 15, 2011 — Pop Culture
This Dairy Queen commercial is one of the many parodies of the Old Spice guy ad that many have come to love and adore. But rather than following it word for word, the company does add its own twist to the commercial.

Much like the Old Spice ad, the Dairy Queen commercial shows off its very own spokesperson displaying his absolute confidence -- only difference is he's carrying a guitar. As he boasts about the cheap price of purchasing two burgers, he strums his guitar which produces sounds of dolphins and crying babies. Impossible, yes, but the whole idea is to let audiences know that Dairy Queen is just that damn good and unreal.

Check out this funny commercial and who knows, if more commercials feature this character, Dairy Queen just might have its answer to the Old Spice guy.
