The 'Louis C.K. One' Tumblr blog is a hilarious mashup of pretty much exactly what you’d expect to find on it—comedian Louis C.K. and Calvin Klein CK One ads.
The blog showcases a mix of CK billboard ads, commercials and print campaigns that have been modified to include Louis C.K. as the face, hairy belly and balding head that represents the fragrance.
Alike the perfume’s branding, the blog and its images are presented in a minimalist style, which makes the mashup even more perfect. There are even some mock ads that put the face of Louis C.K. directly onto CK One bottles, which totally captures the essence of the blog in a single funny image.
