BBH's action comedy take for Vaseline men's range

BANGKOK - Capitalising on the craze for whitening products and an increased desire for beauty care products amongst men, skincare brand Vaseline, together with BBH Asia-Pacific, has rolled out a new action comedy television commercial for its men’s face wash in Thailand.

 

The TVC spot features a crazed director in the middle of filming an action movie with a motley crew of actors poised as action heroes and villains. However, the director viciously complains that a stand in stunt double for popular Thai actor Ken Theeradeth has too many dark spots on his face; his uneven skin tone contrasting too much with the Theeradeth's unblemished face. The director threatens to call off the project, but Vaseline Men’s Facewash comes to the rescue.

The TVC captures Asian style action comedy in all its humour, leading creative director at BBH Asia Pacific, Tinus Strydom to say that it “may be the funniest Vaseline commercial to date.”

The TVC has been touted as a breakthrough commercial to engage with the younger Thai male audience, and to keep up the momentum for Vaseline Men’s campaign efforts in the region.
