Old Spice is a brand of male grooming products.
Sesame Street's Grover parodied a successful series of humorous Old Spice commercials featuring Isaiah Mustafa in 2010, teaching the word "on." The Smell Like A Monster video was posted on YouTube on October 7 and linked to from the character's personal Facebook page. The video quickly became a viral hit, getting 5 million views in the first two weeks. It was also released as a bonus feature on the 2011 Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! DVD set.
Sesame head writer Joey Mazzarino explained the genesis of the video to New York Magazine:
Puppeteers included Eric Jacobson as Grover (Jacobson watched Mustafa's video very closely to match it), Stephanie D'Abruzzo as the cow and Paul McGinnis as the clam.Action Weekly - Star of the Week: Puppeteering Volleyball Player Paul
