Emergency contraceptive brand Julie is pitting male comedians against each other to debate who is more deserving of the last pill box in the drug store aisle: The guy who doesn’t know what a mortgage is and uses a Ziplock bag as his wallet or the man who can’t name a single U.S. senator and is proud to sport a crypto tattoo on his upper thigh. 

The spot, which stars comedians Brandon Wardell and Nick Rutherford, uses humor to reframe purchasing emergency contraception as a shared responsibility rather than one that just falls on women.
