In this highly entertaining spot for Dollar Shave Club, the shaving brand decided to shine an ironic spotlight on men’s body image, specifically the ‘dad bod’.

Created for Father’s Day, the ad features a number of men – who were all discovered through street casting – shown scantily clad in boxers or towels and strutting their stuff along to the ad’s soundtrack, a song titled ‘Manifique’. The spot then ends with the line: ‘Whatever your bod, welcome to the club.’
