The Most Interesting Mistake in the World

Can we also agree, while we are on the subject, that the Benicio del Toro commercials for Heineken are just gawd-awful? Like, every one of them?

Maybe Benicio is an interesting wannabe?

The original guy, Jonathan Goldsmith (a fine Vermont chap may I say), had his contract expire and they ousted him, because (and they hate to admit this) he's in his seventies (and apparently
doesn't appeal to their demographic, though I think they're very wrong) and they want to woo Milennials, so we get the scruffy frenchman instead...Hail to the Top Knots!

Therein lies the irony. The original MIMITW was the guy we all want to be WHEN WE GET TO THAT AGE! He was our goal. Drinking Dos Equis (when we choose to drink beer) was the way to get there.

Maybe Corona could pick up Goldsmith and start a new series of ads.

Exactly!

Not gonna happen any time soon. He has a non-compete for any alcohol brands.

I can't believe we have gotten this far without anyone noting the resemblance between the new guy and Michael Phelps - it is pretty striking.

I have an acquaintance who is painfully boring to talk to who I refer to as the Least Interesting Man in the World

I am a Regional Man of Mystery -- but I have global aspirations.

...to as the Least Interesting Man in the World

I claimed that title years and many thousands of posts ago.

He's a drunk?

I'm very glad to see I'm not alone in this New Guy Fail thing. What WERE they thinking? Maybe he really did blast off into space and didn't return. But they inexplicably went from 'distinguished/yet cool' to 'scruffy bozo who looks about as least interesting as possible'. Actually, my second thought was - that's got to hurt, kicking a coconut as hard as you can with just a tennis shoe on.

(My favorites from previous versions:

He parallel parks trains

and

His mother has a tattoo that says 'son')

So I suggest switching from Dos Equis to Pacifico.

Don't forget...."He bowls, over-handed."
