Further Evidence That Bruce Campbell May, In Fact, Be God!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Evidently, this commercial premiered tonight during NBA coverage and on Adult Swim and in a few other places.
All I can say is Bruce Campbell continues to prove that he is one of the most effortlessly hip and funny men alive, and Duran Duran has never sounded cooler.

and in a bruce campbell forum... sweet!!!
-
Bruce is indeed the chosen one...
-
Give Bruce Campbell thirty seconds on film and he'll pack it with more talent than entire casts can put into full seasons of shows on the CW.
-
to let the OldSpice documentary team record his every day home life like this. What a stand up guy!
-
Jezus Crisco Christ! I love me some Bruce Campbell, but this shit is pure "Ain't we being clever and cute' self indulgent hubris. Not just stupid.. and PAINFULLY stupid. I'm betting Bruce could drop trow and shit on the sidewalk in broad daylight and the guys would scream "It's PURE GENIUS!"
-
I saw the ad for the 'Aliens Power Loader' up top, and could have SWORN Paul Simon was not in the film.. but Sigorney Weaver? Why did it have Paul at the controls? Wha..? Are you sure? ... oh, cause that's sure as hell what it looked like :(
-
mmmmmmmhhhh.....ahoi indeed.
-
and that;s with the right material. I'm still waiting for a refund for the several hours of my life I spent on those Sci-fi channel movies. NEVER let this man have too much control.
-
I'm sorry, he's just not that funny. Sure, he did a couple of OK "B" horror movies decades ago, but so what?
-
Bruce, that was hilarious!
-
As I learned when I... shockingly... said AOD was Evil Dead III, don't throw a hand grenade into an Internet page full of Deadites without disengaging the pin first.
-
Painfully Funny. Classic Bruce.
Some one point out the Bruce alter so I can genuflect. -
...please stop showing these Old Spice commercials on this site. Yes, they are funny and got Bruce, but they are still just Old Spice commercials!
-
I love all the times he lifts his hands from the keys, but you still hear the piano playing. That's awesome.
-
I'm an aging mid-30s film geek. I've outgrown Bruce. He was good in ED and ED2...AOD was fun, but not up to the quality of ED2. They were all b-movies and he was awesome, but he can't do much more than ride on that wave. "But, what about Bubba-Ho-Tep???" you scream. Yeah, but again, it was not some great stretch of acting or anything. So, 4 movies in over 20 years or something. Wow.Besides, these are fucking commercials. Why bother? It just preaches to the converted and annoys those that don't care. Unless you're hoping Bruce will offer up his cock for suckage at a future BNAT, this kind of groveling asskissery is pathetic.
-
I took my 9 yr-old to see Spidey 3. Now, she's a basic, modern 9 yr-old: watches Nickelodian, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, that sort. I raise her right so she knows her Star Wars, too. Anyway, when Bruce's scene arrives during the movie, without prompting from me, she leans over to me, snack-pack on her little lap, and says, "Dad, it's that funny guy again." I acknowledge the fact that it is him and then I'm told, "I like him. He's always funny."
See, I didn't build Bruce up for her. She picked up on it on her own. He's generational, Duran Duran and all.
And he's (almost)a God because 1. He does what he wants without the usual trappings of being a fame-obsessed whore and 2. he can't do miracles yet. "Congo" still sucked. -
That's just Gold!
-
look him up, great stuff. Commercial was okay... kinda weird and the Old Spice thing looked way too phalic
-
over here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ba1O8OjbTsRemove the spaces. I love the alternate version of the ending, at the end of this video.
-
I mean, he really is God, we need some superior entity to compare Bruce to now. Anyone who thinks Bruce is underrated needs to read his books. Oh yes, he is more than just a mind shattering chin. Make Love!* *The Bruce Campbell Way proves that much.
-
To risk sounding pretentious...and this is just my opinion...
If you don't get Bruce Campbell, you just don't get it. -
Overweight and making cheesy ads for Old Spice. I mean.. come one - 'Old Spice'????
My grandfather used to wear that! -
all of us are in on the joke. Bruce is so great because the only films he stars in are B movies for film nerds so it's only us film nerds who really know him and his appearances are special because they don’t come around so often. His cameos in mainstream media/film are so hilarious because we are in the know while everyone else doesn't get it. It's not the commercial that is genius, but the fact that the people who made it (who must be film nerds themselves) are able to get away with it.
-
yeah, I wouldn't make that ad either!
-
Because Bruce makes it believable. I see this commercial and think 'Yeah, if I wear Old Spice, I could be that cool' but when I see Axe commercials I think 'What morons fall for this crap?'
-
My kids love the episodes where he plays that goofy thief.
There needs to be special box set of his guest appearances. -
I agree, the young'uns don't "get" him.Sad, really.

Hey,does anyone know Moriarty's real name and his city?
by jackpumpkinhead
Obviously everyone has wondered about that forever. And he always makes it such a mystery...
-
Kickass. The only thing missing is dog collars and leashes for the girls.
-
And this came on and I was on the floor. Hilarious! BC is great!!
-
Is still one of the most Bizarr f*cked up movies ive seen in years and by golly I can never watch that thing only once,I half to watch it for a week strait before I get my fix of it.
Ive seen Bruce and have met him 4 times now also and damn I only grow more in love with the bastard every year.Love ya you crazy mofo. -
I think it's appropriate
-
i loved "if chins could kill"
-
hopefully Don Coscarelli will get the funding for Bubba 2, and we'll have some more Elvis fun on the way.
-
All their movies suck, and they can't play piano for shit.
-
Kidding. Hi, Mori!
-
...for they live in a world without chin.
-
Could we please arrange a Bruce Campbell-William Shatner duet like, right away? Or would the Universe implode?
-
Please?
-
Go to wikipedia and pull the bio for Harry Knowles. Mori's real name is given in the article. I won't give it here because I don't know if he'd want that or not, and I'm not interested in getting booting again!
-
Maybe it just says Drew McWeeny, I can't recall. Probably a pseudo, like Mori itself, because Weeny sounds so much like wiener, which is, you know, like a pee-pee.
-
That commercial made me laugh out loud. He's still the best part of Spidey 3.
-
Anybody know who directed these commercials? They are gold. And hey, if Old Spice is jumping into the body spray market, where Right Guard is trying to be hip with RGX or whatever the hell its called, why not feature a "ladies man" parody...?
-
Yeah! Bruce Rocks!
-
All the girls in every land. And you know the joy of loving...is to live...in the world of MANDOM!
-
but Campbell's rendition is pretty awesome. Bruce Campbell and Duran Duran. How did that magical conjunction of cheese never happen before?
btw, they have more than one song. -
The difference is that people who've worked with Shatner hate his guts. I've never heard that about Campbell.
-
Twins Sons Of Different Mothers...The Men Whose Heads Expanded...
-
'Nuff said.
-
or is Bruce looking more like Anthony Heald, the older he gets?
-
Without Raimi, he wouldn't have a "career". Raimi doesn't even bother to cast him in lead roles in any of his movies anymore since Evil Dead 3, even the ones he produces. Hmmmmmmm. Am I sensing a pattern here. Even his good friend doesn't think he's worthy of taking on a lead. He's AICN's little geek god because he was in a couple of subpar albeit inventive low budget horror movies over twenty years ago. Fact is, thus far, he's proven that he's nothing but a one-note actor who can't take it to the next level, nor can he even convince his close friends that he's worthy of a lead role.
-
When I saw this this weekend I thought it was complete genius!! Much better than the last BC commercial for Old Spice which was just stupid. I still say this would be better if it was for ANY other product than Old Spice. I'd buy just about anything BC was hawking, except that!
-
He's a perfect post-post-modern poster child. Honest. And Shatner's a cool motherfucker too.
-
Are you sure that's why Raimi hasn't cast him in a lead role? Is that what he told you? Because if he did tell you, that sucks he feels that way. If he didn't tell you, shut your speculative mouth and let people who like him...like him. And I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the latter in this case.
-
the coolest version of "Hungry like the wolf" was performed by Holland "Dutch" Wagenbach in The Shield Season 4. Sadly, there is no clip on youtube.
-
I agree - I'd love a Campbell Herc Xena set too.
And I agree, bootle2, spell his name Campbe!! Classic...
And SoylentMean, I too agree Bruce Campbell is a big part of the reason Raimi has a job.
And, sad to say it, I'm only in my 30's but I've always liked Old Spice, even though it has never been cool. I like the smell. -
Can you actually turn into Shanter before having a Shatner-esque career?
-
You could just as easily make the case that those Evil Dead movies would never have gotten off the ground without Campbell. Just try finding a talented no-name physical actor with spot-on comic timing like that willing to get down and dirty for your low budget horror flick. They're one in a million.
-
Drew McWeeney. I think he's in L.A.
-
give me a break. He was great in that film. Give the man some respect. Sure he's done some shit movies for the Sci-fi channel, but the man knows how to put on a good show. He might not be one of the best actors, but he's better than have the idiots they have cluttering some fo the movies they throw out there.
-
He played a weird French dude in Spidey 3. Best scene of the movie.
-
Hell no! If this were a just world, he would've had Jim Carrey's career, only without the last ten years, and with better movies, or maybe Jerry Lewis's. He should've made three films a year or more, at least one per year an Evil Dead film. IF this were a just world. Which it's not. Which is why we have to look forward to Old Spice commercials. Thanks, Old Spice!
-
Love your stuff, but you're falling head-first into Brando-esque portliness. Get a treadmill!
-
Wow. I thought Bruce was looking a little washed-up as of late. But hey, ditch the geeks for total babes and that's all that was missing. Man, this is a cool goddamn commerical. I'm impressed. The Duran Duran cover is bliss, and even the product placement is tasteful as hell. More from the Bruce, he should sell every product on the planet and we'd be done with the acrid taste of consumerism/marketing forever.
-
I love AICN! Now we're saying that he's up to par with Jim Carrey. It's a wonder studios don't listen to fanboys.
Just my point of view. You can say you love him, I can say I don't. Nothing personal.
And yes, it's speculative as far as me saying there's a reason Sam Raimi doesn't cast him in leads. But it's common sense. Or are we now saying Bruce Campbell has probably received offers for lead roles, but has turned them down because he wants to "keep it real" for his fanbase... LOL. Give me a break. BUT, nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure. Nothing wrong with liking him. I just don't get it. -
...William Shatner. A hack who makes his living over-acting. The difference is Bruce has always known it and Shatner just figured it out about a decade ago.
-
HATE Bruce Campbell. Nuff said.
-
How can you not love Bruce? Stupid kids these days...I may not know what he's doing, but I do know that he's the best at it. Always and forever.
-
fine by me...more for the rest of us. All hail the Chin!
btw, thanks for the link SilentP, watching the related videos and have to admit.....groovy. Captain Mal, if u liked "If Chins could Kill" checkout "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way". The Chin in a Mike Nichols film, teaching Richard Gere how to act (and fight, very silly but very funny. -
So hip, so funny, so AWESOME.
Not since the earliest Priceline ads have I seen something so damn cool! -
Moto suddenly declares Campbell a rare talent...
-
That and the fact that they cause cancer. I smell as pretty as Campbell sings. I hope he makes an album. Maybe he could sit in on some sessions with Richard Cheese.
-
Read the other reply post on the Punisher talkback.
Glad you took the high road here buddy (enter sarcasm)... granted, it was kind of funny. And no, I wouldn't stoop THAT low to try and connect with Bruce Campbell. There is a line, and he is FAR below that line sorry to say. Just my opinion. Nothing wrong with that. -
bruce campbell is the best
-
Not to say his performance bahavior is on the same quality level as Shatner, but it has the vibe.
-
HORRIBLE
-
I am just messing with you... My original line was going to be ' Campbell cast as lead in One Shot, One Kill... Moto commits suicide', but that may have been seen as mean, and I was just trying to have some fun, to round of my crappy night at work... You'll have to send me a copy of the script and I'll tell you in my opinion who should star in it, on a scale starting with Don 'The Dragon' Wilson going up to Bruce 'F'king' Willis...
-
I know. Like I said, it was still funny. Your original line would have been awesome... and true... sorry Bruce Campbell
-
Bruce is absolutely as cool as you'd expect him to be, very open and friendly and constantly telling funny stories (not necessarily about him, he's no narcissist)
He's not god, but god has Him on speed dial -
...if you are a God, you say YES!
-

Bruce Campbell will hit the screens (tv screens) as Abslom Daak, the meanest chainsword touting exterminator of the Daleks this side of the galaxy.
-
i gonna get an operation and have that mans baby.
-
I think there's a BC lounge album in there! :-)
-
Moto - that is what it should read... Although i will never 'hate' either of them i love it that Bruce stays true to his indie roots whereas Sam has become lost in his own hype. His cameo in Spiderman III just showed how much Bruce is undervalued and is the best leading man the US has to offer. This advert just shows that with the right movie he could be...
-
Suave, heroic, sophisticated, charming and, above all, funny. Everything that MrLeach had. I say let the Coen Bros remake 'North By Northwest' with Bruce - that would be great.
-
Fuck the Haters,this guy is cool.I want an Evil Dead 4,5,6,and 7 and Bruce if thats the case you might want to join Dan Marino on those commercials, know what I mean?
-
...but it was even more awesome when it was Bill Murray, and the song was about Star Wars rather than a Duran Duran song.
-
Bruce Campbell and Ron Jeremy need to make a buddy sex comedy of errors directed by Raimi. It would make up for Spidey 3.
-
He's cool, he shows up in small parts in various movies - and steals the attention. He should be given more roles, but than again he might not be the Bruce Campbell we know and love. By the way - he rules as and old Elvis in Bubba ho Tep... :o)
