Pre-Death Wish

[Komanderkyle3466]

2:02 he goes in for seconds

"Alright I'm dry from the first coat, time for the second"

[Komanderkyle3466]

He is just soaking in that cologne.

God the seventies

[christhetyrant2012]

Charles Bronson was my Grandpa.

[xaver4561]

thumbs up if cracked sent you here!

[llanbull]

Did he just showered with that thing? 

[emilymcmcmc]

C -- there are Mandom lids all over the floor and the whole living room smells like Mandom. It's all over everything incl my bookshelf and white throw rug. Plus I found a man's shirt on the ceiling fan, yours?? Plus when I opened the fridge this morning it made a sound like a gun going off. What did you do to fridge?? I am home at 6:30, can we talk about this ... Thx.

[shonuffisthemaster]

This is by far the most macho thing I've ever seen, but it might have been better if he was having a gunfight with the Indian form the village people.

[KillTheStranger]

legend

[crazyrabbits]

This may have been the first commercial where an American celebrity shilled for a Japanese company. I can't think of anyone else doing it before then - the closest I can think of is Sean Connery in that yogurt ad from the late 70's.

[saintlennon9]

Chuck Norris' dad

[myapocolypse1]

i am literally laughing my guts out right now, fuck me! thats hysterical

[DallasChilders]

<3

[Johnk662561]

"MANDOM...for those times when smelling like French whorehouse is required!"

[jazzspoons]

I think I see the famous "dolly zoom" effect at the end of the first commercial, used by Hitchcock in "Vertigo" and later by Spielberg in "Jaws".

[Cineasta4]

It isnt quite incredible ... Is it, Jules¿

[OpiningTess]

They say it contains pieces of real men

[missrococo94]

[AbbyMarie87]

So this is what Mr. Casablancas does in his spare time.

[lilballerina]

J. Casablancas

[xlaxfleurx2342x]

I quite like the piano bit at the beginning! :)

[RingneckDoveFan]

I have no idea what this is, but who cares! Julian sent us here!

[chrisdmorrison88]

this reminds me of lost in translation..

[Dionn91]

i know you're here because julian's tweet

[globalglam70]

Thumbs up if Julian sent you here!

[huikings]

i bet someone will start doing the "thumbs up if julian sent you here!" thing soon...

[EvilWizardMaltheore]

Julian sent me

[LordAaronus]

Look down. What's in my hand? It's a loaded gun. Anything's possible when you soak yourself in Mandom. I'm on a horse.

[bluekeyword90]

LOL! It's products like MANDOM back in the day that gives me a chance to see these types of commercials

[criticalmadness]

RIP Randy Savage!

[3forte]

Damn, Bronson is the sexiest, manliest ass kicker! No homo. Ok, maybe some homo......

[theanimaniacdude]

I WISH I KNEW WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

[GothChristianPatriot]

This is too funny!

[LukeWhitaker]

lol

[Osceana]

Damn, he's just BATHING in that stuff! hahahaha he must reek!

[VynRumbold]

Crazy thing is he's 49 years old when they shot this...born in 1921. Stud... You can still buy Mandom at Japanese markets...smells like hell, and by that I mean awesome. It's all I wear now.

[Dellta88]

Haha this is great. He sure had some nice abs. Why is the announcer nit speaking English? They were really focused on him shirtless lol

[JepMasta]

@Dellta88 Because the commercial was made in Japan for Japanese audiences.

[Dellta88]

@JepMasta Oh I see! I guess that makes sense heh

[horgensnot]

He sits at a bar, alone. Goes home, alone. Shucks his shirt, alone. Lights a pipe and douses himself with Mandom. Sits in his comfy chair. Masturbates. Alone.

[shitcasecinema]

I want some. Bronson is loving it, he uses like a full bottle of it which means it must be good!!

[GoldashTV]

This commercial was directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, who went on to direct one of the most bizarre films of all time, HAUSU, in 1977.

[vinylmaniac]

1:07 Damn, no wonder he got the Death Wish and turned over to a one man vigilante squad. ;)

I feel it's time for a Charles Bronson revival! Who's with me!?

[RHT1967]

Wow, I knew the 70's were strange, but I don't remember them being this strange !

[helloweenarctico]

BRONSON PWNS NORRIS

[gjc82071]

I Luv Bronson! Growing up, he was VERY popular in our house. In part do to the fact that in WW2, my grandfather & Charles Dennis Buchinsky, were in the same Army infantry company/shared the same barracks. While not "friends" they were acquaintances who occasionally engaged in a passing "hello". My grandfather claims Charles was "always working out". I have 40-50 Bronson films. Some years back, my @ the time g/f & I, had a series of "Bronsonfest"/pizza & movie nights. :o)

RIP Gramps/Chuck!

[georgemandom]

I'm glad I stumbled onto this. I never thought I'd ever find this.

[aleemone]

I love how he just walks into his house, rips his shirt off and automatically pours the entire bottle on himself. That my friends, is Mandom! Happy New Year!

[shroomingnewman]

that was pretty over the top

[hemet92544]

was that half the bottle? man bet he was planning on getting laid 4 times that night, and i bet he did!

[aaronjk77]

Commercial airtime was obviously much less expensive once upon a time. I don't think I've ever seen a commercial that long before!

[currysteph]

Is he taking a shower or putting on cologne.....sheese

[Cletus32261]

AWESOME!!!!

[USAPatriot1]

"Keep From Open Flame"

[mgoerndt]

Charles Bronson was one of the greatest men that ever lived.  He is sorely missed.

[DocWyoming]

That shirt is still in orbit today.

[tomrichugpeltho]

Sitting in an empty restaurant listening to a piano player whilst drinking alone, then driving home to your giant empty apartment and bathing in cologne whilst smoking a pipe topless and dreaming of being a cowboy. I get that "Mandom" is a place for men, but by god does it seem like a lonley, lonley place.

[120ElBdo25]

no entiendo como desaparece depronto la apida despues de abrir el producto????? O.o

[sorceror41]

Man i miss BRONSON!!!!

[fullbritches]

"Love is a Lover" .....????...... Mmmmm Man-dom.

[Vivrenoctem]

That is entirely too much Man-Dom.

[andellzor]

i like how he kind of takes way too much. He pretty much showered in it.

[GodMaker925]

WHAT THE HELL!?

At 1:36 the narrator says "Real. Enthusiasm. Summer crops." in finnish! WTF!

[OrangeElixir]

Was this supposed to be the male answer to Jean Nate, the way he was marinating himself in that stuff?

I have to say, I always liked Charles Bronson. I believe he had the appropriately tongue-in-cheek attitude when making this commercial. It made me smile, especially the sound of the bullets as he removed the cap.

[malondo7]

only Clints left..Where the hell are our Chas's and Chucks??..This worlds going to hell in a handbucket!

[PalmerPirateFilms]

Charles Bronson was of a better breed of human being than we, the mortal men of this Earth. He was of a breed where being a man meant more than having two Y chromosomes or a pair of testicles. He was of a breed where being a man meant carrying a high-caliber revolver. At. All. Times.

[spacenoise5]

he gave that shirt to god.

[400SA]

I can only hope I'm built half as well as he was at 50, I'm much younger now and nowhere near it....

[blacksdocrack]

i don't know about you but this made me want a bottle of mandom right now. NOW!

[absolutebore]

I always throw the deodorant/talcum cap away just like uncle Charles!

[absolutebore]

Mmmmm mandem, pour that stuff all over you instead of showering. I'm guessing as a happily married man and playing himself, Charles refused to appear with women in these Mandom commercials. Instead he comes across as a supercool middle aged man in a hotel suite, awaiting an escort or two to arrive!

I also feel fpr the cleaning lady who would have had to pick up his shirts from the floor.

[dw3541]

this looks like a commercial for 1-900-gay-porn. Mandom?

[livardo]

that mofucka was shredded.

[Mastersofnoneshow]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. the pipe tree the shirt toss the gun fire he just pours that shit all over himself one serving = one bottle

All the world loves a lover and all of japan loves smelling like Charles Bronson

[whatthi]

Charles Bronson's mustache alone is a concentrated power of mandom..

*sings* mandommmm

[legrande711]

who cares!!

[ChevalierAguila]

The level of manlines of this comercial is enough to give energy to an entire city for years.

[ChrisWestaway]

charles bronson is so nonchalant about drunk driving... now that's MANDOM

[phlizmo]

whats the point of mentioning that its "pre-Death Wish?"

Its not like Charles wasnt already a well known actor..

[bdsnook2]

Please buy a bottle of our product and simply pour the entire contents on your chest and back all at once. That's right...mmmmm, Mandom!

[eskins757]

Bronson is goin home with the piano player Sam, there are NO WOMEN in any of these vintage ads. They are made for gay Japanese, and Bronson never knew it.

[jackkedrabbit]

You are SOOO right! I'm a creative director and love this kind of stuff. It's amazing how they never tell "the talent" in some of these ads the real story about what market they're for! LMAO! Charley would've been PISSSED!

[dapoetmaster]

Bronson rules...no one can question his actions or his motives....yes, even this sequence of events you have just witnessed. And as some have remarked, it appears the correct apllication is a full bottle per session.

[AndyLeTerrible]

Andy says (18:37):

I haven't watched the charles bronson video yet today guess i'll watch it now it raises my spirtis and despite his baron lifestyle, brings my mood up and makes me happier gives me hope "maybe I can live like that some day soon"

Graham says (18:38): yes me too it's still at least 8 times better than my life

[HelloMarco]

Gazing romantically at a piano player in an empty club, the drink driving off home at excessive speed to slather cheap aftershave all overyourself then go to bed.

[jreeve0805]

Haha... she would have done it sober too!

[conan439]

i love charles he is the best

[champsmacker]

The standard application appears to be 1 full bottle per use......

[talbainss]

who is the artist to song?

[larenuf]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mandonm!!! ;-)

[ballinLo]

charles bronson is a killah he fucks evryboday chuck norris is nobody!

[Onionsayswhat]

He put waaaayyyyy too much on. You are not suppose to wear cologne while at work some people are allergic to it.

[jreeve0805]

who do you think would win... Chuck Norris or Chuck Bronson?

[Onionsayswhat]

are you kidding me? Chuck Norris won world karate championships 5 years in a row. Chuck Bronson was only a hero in the movies - althought he did fight in ww2 and received purple heart - he was an aircraft gunner in Guam so there is no debate. Chuck Norris would have kicked Chuck Bronson's ass many times over. It wouldn't have even been close

[dapoetmaster]

In his prime Bronson would have made confetti out of Norris....

[detoth67]

@dapoetmaster CHuck Norris's style is about show. Nobody serious practices martial arts the way he does. He's a cartoon. 

[mormonjoe]

Charles Bronson. Hands down. Norris may have the karate moves and lame-ass "Chuck Norris facts" following, but Bronson rocked that little mustache.

No contest.

[dereka79]

Where can I meet a man like Chuck Bronson?

[pajo500]

where can i buy mandom ?

[metalorg]

Best 2.5 minutes of my life.

[Shonaripa]

anyone know exactly how he got so ripped? What did he do, looks like a boxers body or martial artist, Bruce Lee type fo functional muscular body

[joeycusack80]

He is probably naturally lean but as well as that judging by his physique it looks like he did a lot of bodyweight training.His chest and his physique in general does not look like it is blown up it looks athletic .Like you said,it looks like a boxers body

[Shonaripa]

ah right, true it's like bodyweight stuff for the most part. What I call monkeylike muscles, jungle movements, one has to transport oneself from tree to tree, no time to bulk up, just ripped ;P and functional

[noitnoit]

Charles Bronson was a coal miner. No joke.

[Shonaripa]

and they get muscles you say?

[freddy2fan]

I approve.

[sagilady52]

wonder if the actor david mccallum has ever viewed these ads, after all charlie stole his first wife jill ireland off him. he must be splitting his sides with laughter at this ad

[IGotASnakeMang]

That was awesome!!

[UR86]

Neogaf made me watch this crap

[roelfkromhout]

Same here, wtf is this shit?

[gfanikf]

It's mandom the most amazing body care products ever invented. Consider yourself privileged to have seen this ad.

[SoldierofFortune07]

AHAHAHAHA Classic Bronson!!!

[loveunderlaw]

Yeah right, WTF? LMAO!!!

[23Makoto23]

男の在り方ｗ

[LikwidCid]

wat a fgt

[staticbb]

that room must have smelt like shit. You think he slathered enough of that shit on? Thats probably why he's so ripped. The chemicals seep into the skin and eat his flesh from the insides.

[niall077yt]

That man sure loves his mandom

[AgentGhost]

Neogaf was here.

[oldage1970]

Captain America is a shit stupid "heroe" like your own ppl. Bush, Mackein, Obama, Osama or Nobody can stop the new age to be coming.

[Temjin99]

EH?

[luisriveras]

queee buena ....gran actor..

[deviousimpulse]

This commercial brings the pure manliness compared to the Mandom (who make Gatsby and Lucido) commercials today full of effeminate pre-pubescence.

[nitewolf89]

same question as shonaripa

[Shonaripa]

the man was fit, someone who knows what he did exactly? what type of training

[HeWhoE]

He was a coal miner and a WWII veteran. I think his muscles and aged face were from hard work in the coal mines.

[Shonaripa]

partly, but obviously not entirely. He was ripped

[Ghostpilot]

He's got a hell of a build to have been pushing 50 at the time of this commercial.

[LargeLeader]

Manly and classy at the same time. Bronson was a legend.

[Moonews]

So bad yet so good.

[jeffchandler1962]

Bronson was so cool,

this is great, rare, makes youtube special

[dbeefy]

As a film maker, I might as well give up, since how could I come up with anything better than this ... genius ! "Goodnight Mr Bronson ... (cue pipe rack shot) "

[dereka79]

HOT!!

[g0rg0jo]

que machio!!

[feistyj]

Mandom= no girls

[suferix]

great commercial !!!

I want to buy that perfume !!

All true men have six shooters at the ready above their cologne shrine.
