Heelys

Heelys shoes look like normal shoes but have little wheels fitted in the bottom so can be walked in and also skated in, this could work well as a viral using a business man using these on his normal commute to work!



Parkour

Parkour or free running is the art of moving. It is a physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment. this as taken off in a big way in the last few years and was even used in the james bond film Casino Royale. this could be used well in an ad for staying young.

The Aero 'bubbles' ad captures youth perfectly in this ad

Old Action Heros

Recently the old action heros from comic books have been made into high budget films and have become a huge success, quite a difference from the originals though!











Old Man Crowdsurf

A good example of this mans attempt at staying young!

David Brent Dancing

The David brent character from the Office is a classic case of the mid life crisis, this scene being one of the most famous scenes from the show. It was even picked up and taken the mick out of on Bo Selecta.

Hair dye – the latest male grooming must-have?

A good article on the male taboo that is hair dying

http://blog.mankind.co.uk/487/hair-dye-–-the-latest-male-grooming-must-have/

brylcreem ads





most male grooming products ad campaigns seem to have come a long way over the years, it just seems that just for men are stuck in a time warp.

Probably the best Just for Men ad released



I think this is the best just for men ad the company has released, which is saying something as even this is terrible!

Old Just for Men ad



The ads don't seem to have progressed much in the last 16 years!

The Most Ridiculous Commercial Ever - Just For Men



The just for men ads are getting some slating on youtube for the ridiculous boasts just for men claim you can do just by dying your hair.

Just for Men USA ad



The USA ad is even worse

Just For Men UK ad - More Ties



Yet another cheesy ad from just for men, the ad tries too hard and yet again fails to work.

Just for men UK ad



This is the current UK ad for just for men.
The ad feels old and i think it makes the product seem an embarrassing product for men to purchase.
