Neil Patrick Harris's Old Spice Commercial Is Finally Online

Via Towleroad, the TV commercial version of Neil Patrick Harris's print Old Spice ads has finally been revealed, along with the fact that NPH can even make Old Spice seem cool because he's MAGIC. Does he have to give any of the money to the Doogie Howser people, though?:

I'd take the Old Spice challenge with him any day! Right ladies???? (Just kidding, I know.)

Man, he is adorable. Too bad he bats for the other team.

Well known that Doogie likes the dudes. He has been out for a couple of years. In fact, he is rapidly becoming a heartthrob/icon for gay men.

Cool move of Old Spice to put an openly gay actor as pitchman for such a traditional brand. Smart move too - I am sure his fees will be made many times over by increased sales to gay men.

What's wrong with Old Spice? Next thing I know, you'll tell me to stop using my beloved Irish Spring. Then I'll never be clean as a whistle.
