The Scholar Your Man Could Be Like - Old Spice Parody by Harold B. Lee Library

The Harold B. Lee library at Brigham Young University pulled off an impressive shot-for-shot parody of the Old Spice 'Man Your Man Could Smell Like' ad to promote studying in the library. It's not their first promotional video; the library has a dozen videos uploaded to YouTube. Who knew a university library could have such a robust brand?

Wow, this has to be the most well-made parody of the original I've seen. Well done, Brigham Young, well done.

What? I really don't understand what you are saying. I think you are just using this as a forum to flame AOL and provide nothing meaningful at all. This is a comments section for the video, not trolling. Have a nice day.

P.S. What was your opinion on the video?

If the headline writers and editors confuse BYU and Yale, what other facts do they confuse? Maybe the BP oil spill is actually in the North Sea instead of the the Gulf of Mexico, perhaps it isn't an oil spill at all. My real objection to the stupid mistake is that it gives credit to Yale for something funny done by BYU.

My concern is that frequently there are errors in the AOL headlines. It calls into question their professionalism and attention to important details. I agree with Sierra. If they can't be trusted to write an accurate headline (not that tough to make sure you have the correct university in the headline) what other inaccuracies are there in their reporting?

Great video!

It's especially funny/startling if you know that the library's name sake, Harold B. Lee, was a kindly but very proper man who served as president-prophet of the LDS Church in the early 1970s.

RE: the "Yale" headline: it's an old problem: when I lived in a suburb of Detroit in the 1980's, I hung a BYU "Y" flag on my house every BYU game day -- my neighbors kept asking me whether I went to Yale. (Sigh)

Hey Ben dude,
You are sounding off abour proofreading, and you have a misspelling (competent - competant) in your post. That is a bit ironic, no? Check for broken bones whenever getting on your high horse...easy to take a tumble...:)
