Phil, also known as “The Legend,” is the man you wish your man to not be
like. He’s married but all the hot young ladies are still after him, in his
mind. Though he’s married, he spends a lot time at the beach, alone. He runs.
He does yoga. He has a gut. He has a calendar. And he may be the worst ad
mascot since Burger King’s Herb The Nerd.
marketing code word for “boner” — back thanks to Dynafil, a new generic Viagra
being sold in South Africa by Pharma Dynamics. Dyna-Phil (I would have
nicknamed him Dynamite Phil) is an anti-mascot, a common advertising strategy.
The problem here is, anti-mascots need to be funny, or at least insane. Phil is
neither. He’s just an unappealing, boring, mild douchebag. What’s the actual
fucking point of him? He makes me yearn for the Men of Cialis.
