One of them was a spoof of the Old Spice "Smell Like a Man" advertisement, which was created by the good folk at the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University. The original advertisement was a particular favourite of the librarians here, and if you haven't seen it you may want to check it out before watching the spoof.

Hmmm. Sabroso.
