The Most Interesting Man in the World: Difference between revisions

''The Most Interesting Man In The World'' is an ad campaign for Dos Equis beer which began airing in the United States and Canada in 2006. It features a distinguished older gentleman who is quite the fascinating fellow -- a classier version of the [[Chuck Norris Facts]] [[Memetic Mutation]].

 

----

=== This [[Memetic Mutation]] provides examples of: ===

* [[Bottled Cool]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty, my friends."

* [[Cultured Badass]]

* [[Death Glare]]: His advice for self defense? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX6M7-rAFJE "The right look should suffice."]

* [[Inverted Trope]]: In case you hadn't noticed, everything he does is the OPPOSITE of what would normally happen. Including the fact that he's a beer mascot that doesn't always drink beer.

* [[The Medic]]: "In most countries his medical advice qualifies as a health care plan"

* [[The Munchausen]]

* [[Noodle Incident]]: The commercials are pretty much all these, bits and pieces of footage from the character's various adventures. Notable ones include speeding away in a lifeboat full of beauty pageant contestants, and leading several foreign dignitaries through a cave with nothing but a lighter and a snappy tuxedo.

* [[The Parody]]:

** Steve Nash did some parodies of him for some Vitamin Water commercials while he was proclaimed as "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdNiXidfLcc The Most Ridiculous Man In The World]."

** "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, [[Dead Baby Comedy|I beat my wife and kids savagely]]."

** [[ESPN]]'s hockey analyst Barry Melrose did one as "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-AXZlWfXWw The World's Most Interesting Analyst]."

** Even ''[[Myth Busters]]'' got in on the fun.

{{quote| '''Grant Imahara''': "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer ''[[Myth Busters]]''."}}

** California radio station 102.5 loves to parody and poke fun at anything they can find...so it doesn't come as a surprise that they have a series of commercials about "The Most Annoying Man In The World".

** A meme-generated picture read: "I'm not always racist, but when I am, it's on Xbox Live".

** After a press tour by Vladimir Putin, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me said that the Dos Equis guy may be the most interesting man in the world, but when Putin drinks beer, he does it with that guy's mom.

* [[Parody Sue]]: Obviously.

* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]
