The actors in this TV commercial for Canada's Scream TV must have really needed the cash. The spot, from Zig in Toronto, calls for them to prance around in diapers with big grins on their faces, secure in the knowledge that the giant white bags strapped around their loins won’t leak a drop, whatever unforeseen accidents occur (caused by frightening moments in Scream’s scary movies, for example). Bladder-control humor, of course, has a long and sordid history. The best-known commercial spoof is probably this one, selling “adult diapers for lazy people.”
