WWII Commercial Shave Like a Man

Every now and then a commercial comes along that just needs to be seen! So all you #ashtags out there, man up.

[@DocBlochead]

The opposite of the Gillette commercial?

[@terragthegreat175]

Compare this to Gillettes most recent ad...

[@katbulooo]

In honor of my dad, 1st sergeant US Army, WW2 I will no longer LOL!

[@thegood6003]

Amen, and eternal thanks to your dad.

[@qpae123]

LoL

[@clarkhowell8267]

And mine, Staff Sgt Ned Howell, 1st Army, 104th Division, Timberwolves, 415th Regimen. Fought from Netherlands to the Ure River inGermany to meet up with the Russians. GREAT guy! Miss him a lot.

[@Panzermeister36]

American soldiers shaved every day that they could afford to during the second world war... it was protocol to keep the units looking clean.

[@mouseblackcat5263]

I Laughed Out Loud xD

[@TheSnookyputz]

Truth is that many of them were "teenagers", willing to fight and die for their country and the freedom of of other countries. To this day they are still honoured in many European countries. Respect.

[@alexandruspiridon4960]

not really, you abandoned central and eastern Europe to USSR, you came into the war after the Nazi's were already engaging the russians, so their war machine was already strung out. you came i,n picked up the pieces and call yourself brave? fuck that in Korea and Vietnam, now those americans had balls, but WW2? nope, you fucked up on that one cheers

[@alexandruspiridon4960]

Doc Mason don't be ignorant, you chose Greece - a heavile socialist and quite communist leaning country at the expense of Romania. Read the Yalta to Malta negotiations. 1. we are talking about Post WW2 - before that time American military expationism went as far ar Puerto Rico, and Phillipines after the wars of the late 19th century, like the Cuban invasion of 1898, the dominican invasion etc. 2. Romania should clear sign of pro Western attitude ever since the end of WW1, so once again at this time USA had a political isolationist attitude - which actually led to the rise of fascism and nazism, maybe even communism. 3. You just lost 100.000 people in WW1 from 103 million people population, Romania lost between 285.000 to 335.000 military men plus another 200.000 civilians left to starve and another 130.000 civilians killed by military forces, so we lost 6 TIMES more people from 7,5 million total population, which means we lost close 7% of our entire population. Do you see how much of a pussy that makes you look? 4. We did not want in WW2 to sacrifice any men either, and then in 1940 the Russian came and then that same year the Nazis came, we were straight in the middle, just like poland, and we saw what happened to them. So before you actually make weird and unfactual FOx News/Cnn type of comments learn your history

[@ksipnios_the_original]

This conversation seems to have zero meaning. Whether people had guts or not is not up to when the government chose to act. Read more details about the battle on the Pacific if you are looking for American soldier's balls on WW2. You can't blame the US for intervening late, since the people themselves had no will to fight in what they perceived a war that had nothing to do with them. The Japan bombing essentially forced US to enter the war. I see you are angry about USSR taking over Romania, but Greece was not a heavily Communist country - communist party was very active and the civil war was ongoing, but the large majority of Greek population was not of communist ideology. Said that just to clarify a fact. Confronting USSR, an ally in the war against just-defeated Germany, with a huge army assembled that had managed to clearly win the Nazi army, was not something the Western countries were willing to do, nor any one of their war-torn people would choose to fight the soviets in another hopeless war.The criteria for partitioning the zones were most of all geographical - the zones were essentially already controlled by the West and the Soviets already, with Greece maybe being the only country under claim, but its position and geostrategic value, along with the traditional involvement and control of the British on it, made keeping Greece under Western influence a matter out of discussion. Counting how much a pussy a country (?) is by measuring the casualties sound more like child brawl to me. Nobody makes casualties for themselves to show how great they are - the casualties are inflicted by others.

[@tompayne695]

maybe honored more over THERE than here, being reduced to bar Barbosal and coke money making commercials. TAKEIT DOWN>

[@folksurvival]

They fought for the bad guys though and helped to defeat the good guys.

[@tinabrown9524]

This is great! My Dad is a WWII Vet, fought in Germany with Patton. My Dad uses Barbasol! I love it!

[@clarkhowell8267]

And mine, Staff Sgt Ned Howell, 1st Army, 104th Division, Timberwolves, 415th Regimen. Fought from Netherlands to the Ure River in Germany to meet up with the Russians. GREAT guy! Miss him a lot.

[@Superdeath25]

My dad's father fought in EUrope during the war. He survived the war to have 5 kids and a 62 year marriage that ended in 2009. He has been gone since 2010

[@AKSAM6]

The best commercial I've seen since the Superbowl

[@andrewmorgan3203]

grandfather fought through Tunisia, lost his trigger finger to artillery malfunction and continued to fire his rifle since he was ambidextrous....kept his stache even after the war was over....nice thought though Barbasol. as a twenty something year old i shudder every time i scroll through my facebook feed. "Stop Lol-ing everything!"

[@WilliamBrothers]

and cut off the damn "man" bun!

[@XuliusCaesar]

and if you are going to have a beard, at least learn how to change a flat tire!

[@michaelaluna7684]

It's also been called a "dork knob"

[@WarLeaker]

Truth is they use war as advertisment but do not advertise on videos related to war or educating about it. They wont even advertise on a video of a American Afghanistan Veteran who uploads his helmet cam video from to KZbin. Not advertiser friendly enough....

[@wijcik]

That was wonderful! I couldn't agree more!

[@j.a.4360]

That's what's up!, Stick it to Gillette!

[@coopssouthard6490]

Well you know what Gillette was actually used during WW2 so Idk what to tell you on that except then it would of been the Gillette Bakelite Tech!

[@caboosevsecho]

I must say, this commercial is true on the younger generation, stupid lol's and Twitter. Things I never got, and im part of the younger generation. But as I said earlier, everything that man said is 100% true.

[@thegood6003]

So much truth in 36 seconds. Thanks for commenting.

[@caboosevsecho]

No problem, keep up the good work sir.

[@RoDe]

My great grandad was in the American Civil War, my uncles and wife's father in WW2, my Dad in Korea. The point being; some families don't move as fast as others, oh and I was in OEF. But, point well taken!

[@CurlyQLink]

That is when men were men!

[@paulzuk1468]

Who threw a fit when it looked like black Free French troops might enter Paris.

[@CurlyQLink]

+Paul Zuk I'm sure 99.9% of the people reading your comment have no idea what you are talking about.

[@shadow7988]

That's kind of the problem, Curly. People rip on this generation because a few shitty universities have 'safe spaces' on their campuses, but the generation in this commercial was so caught up with 'safe spaces' that they had to segregate based on friggin' race, even in the damn military. Against people sacrificing their lives for a country that didn't even consider them equal human beings. So I'm pretty sure there's very, very little room to talk. Every generation rips on the generation that follows it and considers them 'weaker' no matter what.

[@paulzuk1468]

Hell, the generation that fought in WW2 was also considered useless, demoralized and lazy by their elders :)

[@c.hanley1423]

Hey buddy! Thanks for generalizing about an entire generation based on the actions of a few politicians! Sure is intelligent of ya!

[@kidsncrafts9899]

I love it because I do respect the men and women that fought to save so many people from Hitler and the Nazi regime. My father was very masculine and he was a great man that was stationed in Germany during WWII. He was taught to fly a P-51 Fighter plane, I believe, and in 3 short weeks was then sent on his way.

[@Prairie_Barbarian]

Prophetic.

[@LukePowerstancedUp]

This man is just like my grandpa. This is great

[@kevinDMC12]

best add ever

[@trainknut]

Ha! joke's on you, Barbasol, my great grandad was a pilot in the RAF and I don't even use twitter.

[@Steevie979]

Perfect! Looks exactly like our reenactments.

[@homeschoolmom3888]

Take that, Gillette.

[@Panzermeister36]

Gillette made the razors that US soldiers used each morning during the second world war.

[@connermiles7425]

@@Panzermeister36 So ? They were good then now they're all bitch boys that don't know what it takes to be a real man crying about bullshit and shoving metoo crap down everybody's throat.

[@albertomolina3678]

What an awesome commercial I think I'm going to go back to Barbasol!

[@GAME4WAR]

LOL........oh wait nevermind. I take it back.

[@Keys879]

Listen up Hashtag!

[@christophermaggard9917]

@ Rodzilla Yes they were required to shave! Poison Gas was a very real issue! Long facial hair breaks the seal of a gas mask! They were also required to wear ties! Engage your brain before typing!

[@woodychadwick9834]

And to think all of this went right over their heads.

[@500passwords]

hell yeah

[@thegood6003]

Yeah buddy, I wonder what our remaining WWII vets think about the upcoming generation sometimes. Closing school for 1" of snow......

[@thychaos]

who gives a shit what they think about the upcoming generation, that was back in the 40's. most of them were probably homophobic and many of them were racist. at least we've made some progress on those fronts. not only that, but old people always think their old ways were better, the new generation will be the same. the opinions of a generation that barely exists anymore are irrelevant.

[@paco6096]

GREAT ¡¡¡¡

[@edzgarage]

Nice!

[@thegood6003]

One of those spots I wish I'd worked on.

[@ZZ442]

Sweet.....

[@coleG112]

This isn't even necessarily an opposite to Gillette. Sure the idea of "fight like a man" is questionable, but when it comes to answering the questions... Fighting behind a screen on Twitter for your beliefs is stupid. Get out and make a real change, have real conversations. Minds aren't changed online. Only reason they say fight like a man is because they use the phrase shave like a man. Fight like a man just means actually fight for your beliefs, don't just tweet about it over drama. I dig it. Also casual grenade lobs are always funny

[@mikeanthony773]

I don't think they're ignorant of the fact that shave commercials are big news at the moment, but I totally agree that if they're taking a dig at Gillette, it is incredibly, unbelievable subtle, and would not really jive with their message of "fighting like a man."

[@cocoproductions3645]

What year was this commercial made

[@TheSaturnV]

Coco Productions About 2013

Man don't shave.

[@trainknut]

Men* don't shave... and yes they do. Most companies, and the military have grooming standards, you know that, right?

[@OptimusSledge]

Real men don't take orders from anyone. Buncha welfare queens in the military aren't men.

[@TricaGamer]

''Fighting to exert imperialism''

[@jordantoms4367]

What the actual fuck are you talking about..

USA did that in 20 and 21 century

[@hotcoater]

Sometimes I wish I was a dumbass, It must make life so much simpler.

U.S.A Isn't and never was imperialistic you stupid fucktard.

[@TricaGamer]

HAHAHAH you say that because you live there, you are just blind

[@shadow7988]

If you shave with Barbassol, don't go preaching about 'manliness', lmao. Get a real shave cream, and at least a safety razor instead of these retarded '5,000 blade with lubricating strips and battery powered vibration XL' shavers. Hipsters can keep their shitty Barbassol. If you don't even need a badger brush for your cream, or it's some pressurized crap in a can, you're getting scammed.
