Fruit of the Loom Invites the World to 'Loom Large'

You know that dream where you’re riding the subway in nothing but your underwear?

That’s no dream. It’s one of four new ads GSD&M created for Fruit of the Loom:

OK, he was wearing a hoodie, too. But still.

Breaking today, :15s and :06s introduce the tag “Well Made. Well Priced. Loom Large.” (Given that we see guys in their briefs, well, that last bit does beg a question.)

Other spots show a junk-trunk dance routine, an expectant couple with issues and a Jackass-style spoof that should spark a smile:

“Loom large, ass-on-fire!” The campaign merits a write-up based on that line alone. Actor and comedian Judah Friedlander (30 Rock) provides zippy narration that enhances the package.

“Judah’s persona embodies this idea of, not just doing what feels comfortable, but doing it proudly,” says GSD&M creative director Jessica Zalaznick.

“We wanted to talk about the great quality Fruit of the Loom offers and the longstanding value they’re known for in a bold, new way,” she adds. “‘Loom Large’ is based on the insight that when you’re in well-made clothes, you’re comfortable enough to be yourself.”

The work runs across digital and social media platforms including connected TV and online video.
