Cottonelle Wants You to 'Go Commando' With a Butt So Clean It Doesn't Need Undies

Also, don't throw your panties at New Kids on the Block

Cottonelle wants you to "go commando." That's right, the toilet paper brand says you should walk around without underwear because its CleanRipple texture imparts a superior clean.

In fact, they've hired documentary filmmaker and British accent possessor Cherry Healey to intercept random people who've just used the toilet and ask them to go commando.  Whereupon they hide in a little pop-up tent, take off their underpants and receive an undies storage baggie and some Cottonelle—in stunts that are both bizarre and amusing.

I can only surmise that part of the reason they picked Healey is because Poo-Pourri's success taught marketers that Americans like it when potty humor is delivered via a British accent.
