''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 and ended in 2016. It features a distinguished older gentleman who is quite the fascinating fellow -- a classier version of the [[Chuck Norris Facts]] [[Memetic Mutation]], played by actor Jonathan Goldsmith. In his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwyA367LfaY final appearance], he departs on [[Put on a Bus|a one-way trip to Mars]].▼

=== {{tropelist|This [[Memetic Mutation]] provides examples of: ===}}
* [[The Ace]]
* [[Anal Probing]]: "[[Alien Abduction|Alien Abductors]] have asked him to [[Interspecies Romance|probe]] ''[[Inverted Trope|them]]''."
Line 31:
* [[Bottled Cool]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty, my friends."
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: [[In -Universe]]
* [[Cultured Badass]]
* [[Death Glare]]: His advice for self defense? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX6M7-rAFJE "The right look should suffice."]
* [[Expy]]: Literature-minded people will notice that [[wikipedia:Ernest Hemingway|he looks and acts quite a bit like Ernest Hemingway]] turned [[Up to Eleven]]. Scrolling through Hemingway's wikipedia article will present pictures reminiscent of the Dos Equis ads. Also, all the Paris section of the article he is quoted as saying they are "the most interesting people in the world."
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: "Even his enemies list him as their emergency contact number."
* [[Inverted Trope]]: In case you hadn't noticed, everything he does is the OPPOSITE''opposite'' of what would normally happen. Including the fact that he's a beer mascot that doesn't always drink beer.
* [[Logic Bomb]]: From his final commercial: "His only regret is not knowing what regret feels like."
* [[The Medic]]: "In most countries his medical advice qualifies as a health care plan."
* [[Memetic Badass]]: [[In -Universe]]
* [[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.
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
* [[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]."

** And recently, ''[[So Random (TV)|So Random]]'', a ''kids''' show, got in the act with Grady Mitchell as "The Most Coolest Kid in School". The difference? He endorses 3 different things!
** 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".
** To advertise the ''[[Puss in Boots (Animationanimation)|Puss in Boots]]'' movie, they parodied this commercial [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NipMY6hUlSo with Puss].
** A meme-generated picture read: "I'm not always racist, but when I am, it's on Xbox Live".
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] fanvid: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiPIY9yHCsg The most interesting Pony in the World.]
** 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.
** ''[[Real Time Withwith Bill Maher]]'' gives us [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW92RoJLTDg&t=2m33s Mitt Romney, the Least Interesting Man in the World].
