The Most Interesting Man in the World is an advertising campaign for the Dos Equis brand of beer, produced by the marketing firm Euro RSCG for Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery.〔Helliesen, Gunnar (04/7/2010). ("The most interesting ad in the world". ) ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer''.〕 The ads feature Jonathan Goldsmith as "the world's most interesting man" and are narrated by ''Frontline's'' Will Lyman.〔Forbes, Paula (5/4/2009). Goldsmith also appeared as the father in the movie Deep Impact (1998)("Every Video from Dos Equis' The Most Interesting Man In the World Ad Campaign". )〕 Goldsmith has stated that his friend, actor Fernando Lamas, was an inspiration in creating the character. The advertisements first began appearing in the United States in 2006 and have since then become an Internet meme. ==Advertisements== The advertisements feature a bearded, debonair gentleman roughly in his 70s, portrayed by actor Jonathan Goldsmith,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: All Men Are Liars )〕 with ''Frontline'' narrator Will Lyman conducting voiceovers. They also feature a montage (mostly in black and white) of daring exploits involving "the most interesting man" when he was younger. The precise settings are never revealed, but he performs feats such as: freeing an angry bear from a painful-looking bear trap; shooting a pool trick shot before an Indian audience (by shooting the cue ball out of the mouth of a man lying on the pool table); catching a marlin while cavorting in a Hemingway-esque scene with a beautiful young woman; winning an arm-wrestling match in a South American setting; surfing the killer wave; and bench pressing two young East Asian women in a casino setting, each woman being seated in a chair. The voice-overs themselves are intended to be both humorous and outrageous, and include humorous undertones such as his giving his own father "the talk", experiencing an awkward moment just to know how it felt, and finding the Fountain of Youth but not drinking from it "because he wasn't thirsty". Other feats are more centered around his physical abilities and personality. These include his small talk changing foreign policies, parallel-parking a train, and being able to slam a revolving door. At the end of the advertisement, the most interesting man, usually shown sitting in a night club or other social setting surrounded by several young women, says, "I don't always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis." Each commercial ends with him stating the signature sign-off: "Stay thirsty, my friends."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=秘密のチャットレディバイト )〕 There are secondary advertisements that are similar to the final part of the original advertisements. They feature the man sitting in a social setting, surrounded by young women, and conveying a short opinion to the viewer on certain subjects, such as bar nuts, the two-party system, self-defense, trophy wives, and "bromance." He then finishes the advertisement by holding a Dos Equis beer and saying, "Stay thirsty, my friends." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Most Interesting Man in the World」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
