Papas Mourn Their Dad Bods in Bonds' Father's Day Campaign
From Stretch Marks to Late-Night Feedings, They Have a Lot to Be Sad About
Editor's Pick
Aussie underwear brand Bonds is no stranger to outrageous advertising, having previously looked at the world through the P.O.V. of a pair of balls. Now, the brand, via Clemenger BBDO, has debuted a humorously thoughtful examination of men and dadhood, ahead of Australia's Father's Day on September 4.
The set-up takes inspiration from those pensive brand films that capture folks coming to some sort of dramatic realization (take this film from Danish travel site Momondo, for example). Here, we see a bunch of soft-torsoed men sitting together wearing only their Bonds skivvies, contemplating their post-baby figures. "My ankles became swollen, I began getting stretch marks," one complains. Another mourns, "When we brought Tommy home, I was up every couple of hours feeding -- pizza, cured meats, cake," while a third gripes, "I saw David Beckham -- a week after childbirth and he's out running with no top on!"
The endline reads, "Think of father," bringing a funny twist that also gives moms sideways props.
But poor papas. They don't seem to realize that dad bods are a thing to be proud of.
