The Most Interesting Man in the World

Anyone else like the Dos Equis commercials? Favorite quotes? Wanna make your own? Leave 'em here!

A few favs:

"His words carry enough weight to break a less interesting man's jaw."

"He's won awards based only on his game face."

There was one about how if he punched you in the face, you would thank him. That one was funny.

There was an article in The New Yorker about him not too long ago, with some interesting real-life facts about him - I'll see if I can dig up the issue when I get home.

Funny, though I prefer the sharks/peavy cab week joke.

How about: On the occasions he shaved his beard, at no point was there a silly looking bald spot on his face.

I can't rememeber the exact quote, but it was something like "his beard has had more adventures than most people".

The latest one I seen is when it says "He bowls overhand" and "He's won awards for his game face alone".
I was suprised that the wiki page said these commercials have been running since 2006...I've only seen them for the past year or so. I guess if it's been that long it'd be jumping the shark by now for some. But..it's still new to me!

I love those ads. I think my favorite line was about the sharks having a week dedicated to him. The New Yorker article about the actor was good, and here's his Wikipedia bio:

Jonathan Goldsmith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I also like the adaptation created by one of our TB bretheren, who loves G&L: "I don't always want to take out the first two rows, but when I do, I prefer G&L. Stay MFD's my friends." Yes!

Those were not a part of the most recent one that been airing in my area. I'm trying to recall some but really, none of them were funny enough to be memorable.

I saw Billy Sheehan drinking Dos Equis at a few clubs. I don't know if he drinks beer often, but when he does, he reaches for Dos Equis !!

I actually bought a Real Men of Genius CD collection from Budweiser's web site!

Some of my favorite MIMITWisms...
- His charisma can be seen from space
- His mother has a tattoo that reads "Son"
