Izod launched a campaign for its menswear line, starring Saturday Night Live cast member and head writer Colin Jost and Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The two spend the length of the spot poking fun at tradtional menswear spots, including its own. Jost plays the protagonist, weaving his way through worn-out tropes, like playing football in full casualwear, posing for multiple glamour shots with stereotypically attractive models.

Aaron Rodgers appears in an obligatory MVP cameo, huddling with the boys by day, and playing way-too-calm DJ at night, as Jost tries to charm the crowd with a ping-pong match — by using nunchucks.

The campaign was made by parent company PVH’s in-house marketing team, with the assistance of Jost, who helped Develop the script with them. The result, says Izod, gives the brand a a new comedic voice in a market that normally takes its advertising way too seriously.
