W+K and Drew Brees Interview a Robot for Old Spice

By Patrick Coffee 

Here’s a long and unusual one from Wieden+Kennedy to promote client Old Spice.

The agency first introduced its “Mandroid” character in a couple of spots this summer, and he plays an even larger role in this one, which is ostensibly an “interview” on a retro sports talk show:

It’s nothing if not awkward; we do like the New Orleans-appropriate “jazz breakdown” that happens around the 4:00 mark.

The finale is also amusing, though you may note that Brees’ pass doesn’t quite hit its target.

The spot is obviously too long to air on TV, but the brand is promoting it on social and hinting at future episodes featuring Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles, Cincinnati’s A.J. Green, and Earl Thomas of the Seahawks.
