Old Spice guys, your time has come. Meet... DollarShaveClub.com guy, the funnier, slightly geekier alternative.

Where Old Spice guy - and all the replacement Old Spice Guys - were riding horses and motorbikes, Mike here is strolling around the DollarShaveClub.com warehouse, failing to hit tennis balls with tennis racquets and throwing things at men in bear costumes.

Ostensibly, Mike is just trying to sell us razors for a dollar a pop, but if you ignore all that, it's just a clever little skit that you'll be forwarding to all your mates in no time.

Plus, it's got a slogan that most companies would kill for: "Our Blades Are F***ing Great". Perhaps not for Sofa King, sure, but you'll take our point.

Still, though your funniest-advert-on-the-web crown may have been temporarily stolen, original Old Spice guy, we'll always love you. And to remind the rest of the world of his wonderful, manly ways, here's a little video gallery best of for the big man.

I thought it was a cool advert :)

What I would like to know is why are adverts for men's products sometimes quite funny, while those for women, like hair dyes, face creams etc. totally devoid of humour? "Because you're worth it"... makes it look as if a splash of this or that is just about all you are worth! And if I see another woman waving her tresses about or caressing her face with anti-aging cream, I shall throw that telly through the window. No, on second thoughts, perhaps not, it cost too much.

Signed up yesterday, any way to save $100 in a year, I'm game for! (Ad was better than old-spice guy, cause well I've seen plenty of those - and they don't save me $$!)

It was refreshing to watch an advert that didn't end in "Because you're worth it". Gag.

Like the latest PG advert, "I like gin".

The comments below mine (note how "many" fans they have) are critical.

I however think it is a smart ad. Well done. I suggest their business will greatly benefit immediately. That is what makes it brilliant.

Just so you know, the number of "fans" a poster has is irrelevant to the validity of their opinion.

No. Just a problem with those who criticize everything.

Only slightly amusing certainly not the funniest advert

Not bad if a few guys in the warehouse did it - on the spur of the moment - and you were a part of it. But to anyone watching it's definitely a 'you had to be there' moment. Like Roger47's sentiments, I felt the side of my mouth twitch slightly. That could have been nervous embarrassment though

Well I smiled but it was hardly "magical" "marvellous" or "utterly brilliant".
