For the holidays this year, Old Spice decided to put its own unique stamp on the looping fireplace video with 'Ye Olde Exploding Yule Log.'
Naturally, Ye Olde Exploding Yule Log takes the kind of content that can be found on the fireplace channel to the extreme, as it features Terry Crews' face in the middle of the flames that continuously erupt for an hour. Unlike many of the looping fireplace videos that feature the same sights and sounds over and over, this one from Old Spice will keep fans looking out for the face of Crews, as he delivers lines like "Hello," "It's me!" and "Scrub behind your ears!" in between long pauses, one at a time.
Throughout the video, Old Spice is spotlighted as the perfect stocking stuffer gift.
