You Don’t Need Hot Women to Sell Men’s Underpants?

We like Stanfield’s. We like Stanfield’s because it knows it’s a corny underwear brand (as opposed to the other extreme), worn by a bunch of mama’s boys. Or at least agency John St. does. (It probably doesn’t help that the company is Canadian.)

Stanfield’s latest campaign, “Separating the Men from the Boys,” takes a handful of “unmanly”-men and adds embarrassingly “manly” characteristics to them. One such man brings inordinate heft to an exercise ball. Another turns down guy’s night for book club. And another sports the power of polar-therm by conducting a conversation in a cold freezer.

The audio is slightly disconnected from the video, so try not to let that drive you crazy.
