are you talking about the brawny man on the right or left? ;-)

i don't know what the brawny man's real name is, but jason might know since he has met him.

i know it's all an act, but the brawny man is so freaking hilarious!

I can't say I've got a crush or what not - but the guy is quite amazing, very, very good in the actor sense.

So... questioning minds want to know!

From episode 1:
His real name is Brawny Man, but his friends just call him "Brawny Man."

The Brawny Man's name is... John Brennan. But to me, he's just Brawny Man.

Here are a couple articles verifying his name.
"Online 'reality' shows for Meow Mix, Brawny paper towels mark new ad push"
"Fallon sends husbands to Brawny camp"
'Brawny Man' Launches Online Academy For Slobs

Go ahead. Tell all the kids the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus aren't real either!

WHAT?? The Easter Bunny and Santa Claus aren't real??? *sniff sniff*

This is crazy, but I'm in love with Brawny Man, I Only buy Brawny towels now, and I don't care if people think I'm nuts!

Brawny Man is Mine! All mine!!! : )

This must be marketing genius, they got me, they SOOO got me, I'm so THEIRS!

ohmigosh!

get a life. he is an actor. those lines are scripted.

it's all in good fun. We have a life, and we realize he's a fun actor with a terrific sense of humor, great delivery, with just the right amount of brawniness and tongue-in-cheekiness. I adore him as an actor, and the virtual me delights in pining for an advertising campaign gimmick, a pretend character. It's clever, it's witty, it's emotional, it's even beneficial! I love it.

Life is not forever, and I will continue to have fun and garner great pleasure in playful and funtastic fantasy. I will continue to pine for the brawny man, and I appreciate your response! By the way... i find myself choosing brawny paper towels over the others. Now that's true love!

Well said!

Yes, he is John Brennan. I was actually in a community theatre production with him a few years back in the Omaha, NE area. It was "I Hate Hamlet" produced at Chanticleer Community Theatre in Council Bluffs. He was the lead. He is a very nice guy, talented, and when I met him I told him that with his looks and voice, he was sure to make a break into show business somewhere. When I saw the new ad, I grabbed my wife and said, "Hey, that's John!" She was a bit dubious, but I instantly recognized the voice, especially.

why was i thinking the brawny man was single?

no, no, no... of course he's married. men like him are always taken.

darn, there goes my chance of being mrs. brawny man. oh wait... that's right... i'm already married ;)

i'm curious... does your teacher where flannel as well?
