I'm feeling really stupid because I don't get the other things you said, but I'm guessing it's that Old Spice thing, isn't it? I really haven't caught up to pop culture, yet, apparently, from all this living offline lately.
Regardless, I am happy now. I think I could die, actually, and feel complete.
Indeed, it is Old Spice. Here's the commercial. It is absolutely worth watching. They did the entire thing in one take, no cgi except the diamonds-to-Old-Spice at the end.
Actually it was one SHOT, which took 3 days and 56 takes in order to get the seamless movement from bath to boat to horse that we see in the final commercial. The ad was done by Wieden/Kennedy in Portland, OR and Leo LaPorte at TWiT has a great interview with copy writers Craig Allen and Eric Kallman who explain how the shot was done. It is a very entertaining interview and can be found here:

Oh, the things this show gives us.

(Because Neal is apparently a 15-year-old girl in my head.)
