Toxic Masculinity Gloriously Skewered In Hilarious Smooth Veet Men Spot

Toxic Masculinity Gloriously Skewered In Hilarious Smooth Veet Men Spot

Toxic masculinity and the MeToo movement have dominated men’s advertising of late, but mercifully it seems fellas can still have a laugh at themselves judging by a new spot for Veets Men hair removal cream.

The spot, titled “Fishermen”, is the work of acclaimed Parisian agency BETC.

With a bit of The Perfect Storm meets Jaws feel about it, the clever spot follows four men aboard a fishing trawler regaling their near-misses and subsequent scars.

And, as the ad sets out to prove, the modern man doesn’t have to wrangle a great white shark to prove his masculinity.

The spot’s directed by acclaimed New Zealand director Greg Bray, which may explain why it has a good smattering of Kiwi humour about it. Check out the hair removing fun below:
