Sexual predators now have an exciting new deodorant option to go with thanks to SNL and it’s designed specifically for creeps on the cusp of being exposed. I suppose other people can use it too, but why would you want to?
Will Ferrell, Kyle Mooney (as a stand-up comic that isn’t Bruce Chandling) and Alex Moffat star in this ad parody for NEXT deodorant, the “the only antiperspirant for men who are feeling the heat because their #TIMESUP.” In the spot, sexual harassers from all walks of life are very excited to get their sweating under control just in time for their horrible actions to be taken out of the shadows.
“Yeah, I’m a guy,” explains Ferrell as a despised office worker. “The way I sweat my regular deodorant just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I work hard, I play hard, and something’s coming out about me real soon — because I’m next.”
It’s the sort of spoof that’s funny, has teeth and isn’t afraid to put someone as likable as Ferrell in such a detestable position. The subject of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct has understandably come up a lot on SNL this season, including navigating the number of sexual misconduct allegations leveled at SNL alum Al Franken. That trend isn’t likely to end soon.
