There are the rare commercials that make me laugh out loud.

Then, there are the even more rare gems that make me laugh out loud, and then back up the DVR to watch again, and of course, laugh out loud again.

Jack in the Box’s Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich commercial is a great example. The first time I saw it, I laughed. Then I found myself rewinding it, so I could learn the choreography.

Well, Old Spice has another that falls into the gem category. The “I’m on a horse” spot debuted during New Orleans’ Super Bowl win over Indianapolis, and has been a hit both on television and the internet ever since.

And as Pitchfork Nation’s own Justin Karp pointed out yesterday, there’s an ASU connection to that spot. Former Sun Devil receiver Isaiah Mustafa is the star of the commercial.

Mustafa played for the Sun Devils from 1995 to 1996 catching 23 passes for 289 yards and 2 touchdowns, and was a member of the Pac-10 Championship team from ’96 that nearly won a national championship.

The commercial is a hit on YouTube, and has had over 4 million views as of Wednesday morning. Mustafa was never a star on the football field, but we could be watching the birth of a Hollywood star before our very eyes. Mustafa’s been acting for a while, having appeared on television shows like Ugly Betty, Navy NCIS, Eli Stone, and Days of Our Lives, but more people have seen Mustafa’s work on this spot than ever before.

And we’re not the only ones noticing. He’s scheduled to appear on Oprah (imagine the catcalls those housewives will send his way) and The Ellen DeGeneres Show in the near future.
