Contemporary fashion label Calvin Klein released a sultry commercial to promote its underwear line and a speedy parody ad has been quickly offered to kind of counter the raciness. The original boasts a celebrity-packed marketing campaign that sets the spotlight on some of the most highly regarded personalities in the business — this includes Shawn Mendes, Kendall Jenner, A$AP Rocky, and Noah Centineo.

James Corden — the host of The Late Late Show, launched a responsive underwear parody ad which is cheekily dubbed #MyCordens. The spoof opens with 'True Faith' by New Order and highlights the comedian wearing a robe and a shirt. The parody ad is quite legit as it features all of the celebrities in the original version.
