In this Old Spice commercial, the scene is set in a lavish den where Bruce Campbell is sitting in a chair. He starts talking about something in specific but does not identify the subject. As he continues, he walks around the room he is in and in the background, there are more lavish commodities including several bars and a running mural of sails on the wall. As he completes is circle around the room, he sits down in his seat and the fireplace lights up. At the end of the commercial, the words "experience is everything" appears and a signature jingle of Old Spice is played.

This Groupon ad, which aired during that last Superbowl, opens with mountainous scenes of Tibet. Timothy Hutton somberly narrates about the troubles the people in Tibet face. The commercial then cuts to a Chicago restaurant where Hutton is eating fish curry and in a much more cheerful tone, advertises the deal he and 200 others got on Groupon. In the later part of the commercial Hutton switches from describing the conditions in Tibet to describing the Tibetan food he was able to get in Chicago. This ad attempts to appeal to the general American public.
