Unexpectedly Cool Spokesmen

I present to you three unexpectedly cool dudes in ads:

Tom Bodett’s celebrity status (if you could call it that) was created by speaking in a humble sounding voice about a discount hotel chain. So much so that every Motel 6 spot begins with him introducing himself. Until I just googled his name I actually thought he was the CEO of Motel 6. Apparently his voice is just that perfect for their brand. “Hi, I’m Tom Bodett… [insert witty motel-related quips here] … and we’ll leave the light on for you.” If you want more proof: I know you just read that in your head using his voice. Crazy, right?

2) Ben Stein manages to pull off looking like a total intellectual while sounding like a lame tourist who forgot his allergy meds at home. He's too smart to care about something as menial as eye drops, which is why you should stop wasting his precious time and go get some Clear Eyes already. TAH DAH! Best spokesperson for eye drops ever.

3) Isiah Mustafa actually had his name “out there” well before the Old Spice commercials. But he’s a household name now, all because of deodorant. And if you asked any of the “Man your man could smell like” fans what he did before demonstrating what kind of man men could smell like, very few people would know he was in the NFL. And by now you're actually tired of hearing about him so much. I’m on a horse.
