marketing of masculinity

I always end up bleeding profusely when I crush the empty wine glass against my head.

did ddb write that press release

Actual lols @ werk ^^

RIP big man

Have we covered Duke Cannon soap yet?

https://dukecannon.com/

uhh ok I'd seen ads before but not this beer soap

what in the heck

they definitely are up on their masculinity branding, though, all of the military-esque references and the picture of a guy holding an axe are very on brand

I have the naval supremacy one. It is almost too big to be practical.

Even funnier is Duluth Trading sells a tactical soap on a rope bag designed specifically to hold your Duke Cannon brick. Imho this stuff is 100% tailored for moms and wives

lol what the fuck

If I want to walk around all day smelling like Old Milwaukee I'll just become my grandfather.

does old milwaukee smell like new milkwaukee

new milwaukee smells like old milwaukee, so yes.

what IS the best cover of "I'm My Own Grandpa"?

The Michael Cooney one!

being in MN the duluth trading company is such a nightmare, they have billboards all the fuck over the place talking about butt cracks and nuts and sweat

I drive past a billboard on the way to work every day that says:

Your Wife is Hot

Maybe it's time to call us to come service your air conditioner

there is a car repair place down the street from me who have that one spelled out in their letter board out front

shit, that must be industry standard, that same line has been in use for like 10 years down here.

omg

that's toxic reinforcement, sheesh

Wow. The actual site is no better.

I assumed maybe someone had just typo'd men instead of man in the ad. But no. It's a thing.

The spinning epiglotis waterwheel must surely just fling piss back at you if you're urinating with any force? And I have it on good authority that little bots can urinate with force.

If you're a true baby men you don't care if the piss flies back on you. You just accept it, just like you accept pooping all over mommy

is the "Not for Clowns" logo a direct attack on ICP?

"Like they would use soap anyway..." Fair enough, but still.

wayzata, long known as the fucking *hardest* twin cities suburb

is the "Not for Clowns" logo a direct attack on ICP?

the hatchet would indicate as much, which is amusing since Juggalos have a better rep now than ever before

I walk past a basket of this stuff every morning. From the name, I had an idea of where they were coming from, but didn't realize they were throwing ICP and Appletinis into the same... basket.

i have dr bronner's bar soap, what kind of marketing is that

ahaha what a rush it must be, bein' a guy pic.twitter.com/eG4NjCdojD

i'll measure time
i'll measure height

haha, i thought the same thing!
did you hear the rock band version or string version in your head?

mansize? Do men have substantially bigger noses? What could they possible need a larger tissue. . .oh.

\m/

judging by this advert, women are also permitted to use mansize tissue to do ladylike things, or if they "have a man size cold"

Kleenex was trying to square the circle there

that ad is from 1964 but imo it's striking how similar it is to a lot of the 21st century ads on this thread, in that it's kind of ironic and aware that "tissues for MEN" is a self-evidently ridiculous concept, but still pushing this marketing of masculinity idea

the new target redesign in my area includes a spacious department store-like special area for men's products (and a corresponding area for women's products/makeup that looks more like ulta/sephora/department store)

and what would you like for Christmas?
a train and a boat and a gun please mummy

This shit is hilarious - but it doesn’t strike me as any more or less absurd than gear that’s marketed on the ultra-feminine end of the spectrum. (The navy sea tactical soap from upthread, on the other hand, that’s some crazy toxic shit.) I imagine stuff like this is just companies finally cottonong on to the fact they can do gender-specific marketing & charge a premium price to men the same way they’ve been doing to women for years.

the thing that annoys me the most about "masculine" bath products is that all the men's shampoos are combination shampoo/conditioners. I'd be willing to give all the REAL MAN STUFF MADE WITH WOOD CHIPS AND CAFFEINE nonsense a pass if I could just wash and condition my hair separately.

this is the cologne my dad uses because he's a man:

someone needs to tell the brut graphic design team to spruce it up with more manly objects, maybe add some guns and a dead animal or something
