I get if I had Axe back in High School I would have gotten laid....

[WCGreen]

all we had was Hi Karate and that stuff smelled like shit...

[Beer Snob-50]

1. I don't think axe can truly get anyone laid.

my son and his friends wear it and it is putrid imho

[WCGreen]

4. You mean the commercials lie?

[Beer Snob-50]

9. yes,

cheerleaders and hot porn stars/fashion models will not run through brickwalls to jump your bones

[rcrush]

32. Yes they will you just got to buy a lot of it.

Shower in it.

[lizziegrace]

2. I'd forgotten about Hi Karate

I remember Old Spice was about all there was out there.

Glad tax season's over?? :hug:

[WCGreen]

3. I still have eight more tax returns to go...

[lizziegrace]

5. Ack!

x(

[DBoon]

19. "Do you canoe?"

remember THAT scent?

[lizziegrace]

33. I remember the name, but not the scent

I don't think that was a big seller in Memphis in the 70's. ;)

[704wipes]

26. I STILL have an old bottle of Hai Karate

Maybe I should sell it on ebay?

[lizziegrace]

34. Whatever you do

don't open it!! :P Has the scent turned over the years?

[crim son]

6. Probably. It would have worked by causing the young lady to pass out

as you made your intimate approach. I like the smell but it's overpowering!

[Odin2005]

30. Ugh, don't give the resident date rape apologists any ideas.

*shudders*

[crim son]

39. I hadn't considered it to be a real possibiity.

My apologies!

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Axe smells like shit, too

Put on some Brut, and I'll be meetin' you on the street corner after classes, Babycakes :*

[WCGreen]

12. A hint to build a dream on....

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Just waking up from dreaming here

:hi:



Still tousled after first cuppa joe...

[WCGreen]

16. You taunt me from two thousand miles....

[704wipes]

27. well if not shit

then certainly like BO, really it smells like BO to me. I think it is some marketer's joke.

"Hey lets make a cologne that smells like BO and see if we can get everybody to wear it."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I don't think any of the young men I knew wore the stuff...

But then, I went to high school in ancient times, so maybe it hadn't been invented yet...

:P

[WCGreen]

14. They just came out with the Axe...

You'd have to be trolling the high school to get a wiff...

[Jamastiene]

10. Wrong Axe, dude.

Guitars were the ticket. Now, THAT would have been the right kind of ax to have had in high school.

:P

[WCGreen]

13. Been playing for almost 40 years on and off now....

Just learning some songs this very morning...

[guitar man]

38. Worked for me ;)

:thumbsup: :D

[Blue_Tires]

11. but they DO have some of the most amusing and creative

over-the-top commercials ever made...Youtube is filled with hours of them

some of my favorites: I've been planning to post a list in the lounge of my top 20 AXE/TAG commercials, but for now here are 3 candidates...

The "Trial":

17. Hey look - I had a main AXE - my SAX - and my secondary AXE - my GUITAR - and...

... wait a minute. I did get laid in high school. Nevermind.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Hai Karate -- Gaahh!

The stuff smelled like the Avon Lady's worst products mixed with patchouli oil, gin, insect repellent, and a touch of kerosene, with a faint overtone of rotting fruit.

It was not at all helpful in getting a guy laid. But I'm sure a lot of guys who doused themselves in the stuff and then put on their pastel leisure suits and paisley nylon shirts with collars like sails couldn't figure out why they weren't being surrounded by lust-crazed women.

[burning rain]

20. It's Brut that really brings the girls running.

[rustydog]

21. I love Axe...

A car prowler left that telling "scent" lingering behind and I caught the suspect 15 minutes later, identified him by the unique Axe skank.

Made my day, ruined his!

[Mike 03]

22. At least your parents gave you something.

My parents didn't teach me about shaving, deoderant or cologne.

[madrchsod]

23. axe? i used something more powerful than that!

that`s right---British Sterling....it made the birds swoon

[Iggo]

24. We had hot water and soap.

I did okay.

[Tabasco_Dave]

25. My lesbian step daughter and her friends use it

and they wear too much of it. I had to drive them home from a party one night, the aftershave fumes where so strong that i had to open the car windows in the middle of winter.

[grasswire]

28. is it a midwest thing?

Relatives in the midwest send an AXE collection every year at Christmas to one of the teenagers in my household. Every year, he gives it to charity. It is HORRIBLE STUFF. Shudder!

[Odin2005]

29. Axe is horrible shit. That can't get nobody laid!

:rofl:

[retread]

31. Deodorant can get you laid? Shit, that explains everything! n/t

[JBoy]

35. My English Leather soap-on-a-rope was my ticket

[Blue_Tires]

37. lol my dad used to use those...

[graywarrior]

36. For a minute, I thought you meant a guitar.
