That's a terrible deal even in 2026 dollars, but $19.95 in the 80s is over $70 now. If you or someone you know are struggling to look like an ass for less than $70, please DM me. I can achieve similar results at half the cost.

Men wore those shorts in the 80s. Even straight men.

Lol, like you could get the cut just right for those high kicks.

You need a master ninja to come up with that shit.

Honestly, that's the exact kind of marketing that I'd expect to work well with the brand.

The commercial could be about the ceremonial process of making the shorts in feudal Japanese tradition, especially including a part where one person throws regular jeans at a blindfolded person with a sword who cuts them midair into the perfect jorts.
