This spot for Old Spice’s Swagger, by Wieden + Kennedy, has opened a window into LL Cool J’s adolescence. Even as a dorky teenager with a high voice and a higher forehead, hot girls still talked to him. Thanks, that gives the rest of us so much hope. I’d be more impressed if Swagger had helped LL overcome an even more embarrassing stage of his development. Also check out a second spot with Brian Urlacher.
