The ad spoofs Victoria’s Secret, featuring an actual skeleton posing in a Victoria’s Secret bra that is, according to the narration, “specifically designed to air on Fox and ABC.” The cheeky voice-over goes on to say that the ‘Delicate Embrace’ bra is “Not for chubbies.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bra Ad Spoofs:** Spoofing traditional bra ads to take a stand on controversial body standards and societal pressures surrounding beauty standards. - **Humorous Marketing Parodies:** Creating humorous marketing parodies as a way of protest to raise greater levels of awareness for serious issues and campaigns. - **Critique Commercials:** Creating a critical take on traditional commercials that create unrealistic standards and expectations for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lingerie/fashion Industry:** The lingerie/fashion industry can create more body-positive and inclusive campaigns free from traditional and unrealistic standards. - **Advertising/marketing Industry:** Advertising/marketing agencies can create humorous, parody campaigns that critique societal beauty standards and promote inclusivity and diversity. - **Social Activism Industry:** The social activism industry can utilize humorous, parody campaigns to protest and raise awareness for important causes and issues through unconventional means. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cuffing Season Yogurt Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harmless-harvest.md) - [Body-Positive Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-super-bowl-ad.md) - [Humorous Period Care Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/period-underwear-1.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Ultra-Light Intimates Silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-lace.md) - [Celebrity Padded Shapewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-butt.md) - [Complimentary Sculptural Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece.md) - [Satirical Feminist-Forward Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women.md) - [Versatile Apparel-Lingerie Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boobwear-brand-nuudii.md)
