The Old Spice Man Through The Ages

By Steven Avalos Posted Feb 24th 2010 02:59PM

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably seen Old Spice's new 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like' commercial -- part of a hilarious campaign that puts the manliness back in body wash, where it rightfully belongs.

PEOPLE recently interviewed the devastatingly-charming pitchman, Isaiah Mustafa, who is now enjoying a rise in job opportunities since the commercial's debut earlier this month (the clip has since amassed almost 3 million views on YouTube). And he's not just a body wash salesman, either. The on-the-rise actor has done everything from playing receiver for the Seattle Seahawks to running a barbecue restaurant with his mother. Hold your horses, though, ladies. This jack of all trades is taken.

After the jump we take a trip down memory lane of Old Spice's most memorable men.

2010: First up, the commercial that started this mess and the gospel according to Isaiah:

2009: Mustafa's predecessor Dan Gauthier showcases that just because you want to smell like a man, it doesn't mean you have to smell like every man. Think he looks familiar? Well, that's because he played hunky high school football captain Brad in 1989's cult classic 'Teen Witch' (and he was in a bunch of other stuff since then, too, but we'll stick with the witch movie).

2008: Neil Patrick Harris may have only played a doctor on TV, but that doesn't mean he's not qualified to prescribe you the awesome manly freshness of Old Spice 'Pro Strength' deodorant.

2007: The following pitchman is a little lighter with the dialogue but just as effective ... and manly!

2007: Old Spice really knocked it out of the park when they hired the 'Evil Dead' master himself, the all-around-awesome Bruce Campbell. We're not entirely sure what he's even saying, but we'll take one in 'Smooth Blast' scent, please.

1971: Next up, this commercial comes to us all the way from THE SEVENTIES. Yes, they had Old Spice back in the day. And color TV!

1957: And just when you thought it couldn't get any more ancient, we dusted off some stone tablets lying around the PopEater offices and found the following clip from half a century ago. Old Spice: Never did a dollar bring you so much.

OMG-I am drooling. Funny thing my dad wore Old Spice back in the day and after he died I always remember him because of the way he smelled...traces remained on the pillow case, years after he passed away (OMG that was in 1954)

By S

My dad wore it too, but I LOVE that scent on a man!

Wordman, I'm sorry that you were molested when you were young. But being gay has NOTHING to do with child molestation. Gay men/women aren't child molesters. Child molesters are child molesters.

And you being a dock worker has little merit. My ex's father is gay, and he's a biker... A large scary biker. No way no HOW would I mess with that man.

By whatever

Gee wordman, have you seen someone about your anger issues? No, I'm not gay but have lots of gay friends. It's too bad you have such a messed up attitude and had problems but don't blame all homosexuals. Do a little research on child molesters. You might be surprised who makes up the majority of them.

The great thing about America is that you can leave it any time you want. "Stolen Africans" have built this country and it belongs to them as much as the Native Americans. Their ancestral blood runs deep in the earth. We are here to stay!!!! Get used to it, you haven't seen nothing yet!!!!!

By lady

Old spice has a variety of new scents now-a-days, that are definitely more youthful......I just turned 30 and female and love some of the new ones on younger men

All you people gay bashing need to get out of your Alice in Wonderland suburbs and go into the real world. Did any of you ever leave the red neck towns you were born in and see the real world. Your all so pathetic! America is such a cess pool of ignorance unlike other countries.

We just keep letting them in!

Dear Wordman....Most child molesters are straight! So get your facts straight before you start blabbering like an idiot. The fact that its still bothering you 40 years later means you need therapy or you actually like the 'boys' in the shipyard.

By Suzanne Herbst

Neil Patrick Harris is really hysterical. Very different from the new guy who is equally entertaining and not hard on the eyes! And, by the way, who cares if anyone is gay or not.

don't shop on this site....unless of course u don't mind KNOCK-OFFS, everything is F A K E, FAKE, F A K E.

Is your white sheet being cleaned Jo?

By Monifa

Poor, poor Jo. Typical genetic-recessive, who wants to be stopped up by a Black man. Lol!

OLD SPICE AMONG SEVERAL OTHER COLOGNES FROM DAYS OF OLD, IMO STINK! THEY ACTUALLY MAKE THE MALE SMELL WORSE AND DETER THE INTENTION OF ATTRACTING AN OPPOSITE MATE OR JUST FOR THE SAKE OF SMELLING GOOD!

Which bible are you reading? The one true God does not hate, but loves everyone!!! In your first message you were advocating violence!!! Your angry because you can't tell who is who!!! Your best friend who is married just might secretly be a homo. Would you turn your back on him, destroy his marriage and family if he finally came out to you????
