We’d say the faux low-budget ad trope was played out, if it wasn’t still making us giggle.

In a new series of ads by CP+B, the proprietors of Josh and Donny’s Supercool Superstore for Men are promoting a “going out business sale” which includes a full stock of “cooling products” for men, like the “Eskibro” (an igloo that sits on your crotch”), “Fridges For Britches” (literally a fridge you put your pants in) and the “Pants Snorkel” (again, exactly what it sounds like). With such amazing products, why are Josh and Donny going out of business? Why, it’s because of Fruit of the Loom’s Micro-Mesh Breathable Boxer Briefs, which are made out of breathable material that keeps guys cool and makes all other products obsolete (it’s also the product the ads are actually promoting).

The campaign (directed by Jonathan Krisel of Portlandia and Tim and Eric fame) also features a range of shorter ads that go into more detail about the questionable products the store has been selling, as well as ones like this one below (which goes to a bit of a dark place to cover just how much Fruit of the Loom has cost poor Donny).
