Old Spice commercials have been pretty weird for the last few years. At first they fell into the Weird: Charming category, with ads built around the idea of the Old Spice Man and The Man Your Man Could Smell like. The ads then became bigger, louder and more bizarre. They fell into a Weird: Annoying category as each ad tried to outdo the last in terms of pure ridiculousness.
It was only a matter of time until we hit the Weird: Creepy category and it officially arrived with Old Spice's "Mom Song" commercial.

Creepy. Disturbing. Weird. There's a ton of ways you could describe this ad, but it's easier to remain silent and shake your head in disbelief.
We know some people enjoyed this ad, but the negative reviews greatly outweighed those in favor. Here's a few examples:
