Charities - Comic Relief [TV Advertisement] > Reviews (1)

Have you all seen one of the new adverts for Comic Relief? if not here's a little insight.

As Comic Relief is almost upon us ITV are offering a few adverts raising awareness of their viewers to the fact.

For the first time last week I saw the 'Pants to Poverty' one and so did my 3 year old daughter, who finds it hilarious.

It's basically a cartoon bloke walking on the screen with rather tasty boxers and a vest on (0% sex appeal, similar to Mr Muscle man), when in the middle of the screen he happily turns around and with a blink of an eye whips his boxers down and moons at you. The voiceover at that time is something along the line of 'we at Persil are helping to say pants to poverty', fair point.

He then pulls them back up and strolls off of the screen followed by a line of washing appearing with Persil written on another pair of this delightful chappies boxers.

The outcome of the advert being that if you purchase a special Comic Relief promotion pack of Persil you will help to prevent poverty in the UK and Africa being that between 2p and 16p (depending on which variety of Persil you buy - moreso the cost) will be donated.

It's quite a funny advert and not at all offensive to young ones should they see it.

It's straight to the point and excellent to hear of help being offered to the UK aswell for a change.
