“Life of Brian” Characters in Ads?

A friend of mine reminded me of the Monty Python movie Life of Brian recently, specifically the “Biggus Dickus” scene, which while sophomoric, always seems to make everyone fall down laughing. But after remembering it, I couldn’t help but think of how the two fictional joke name characters in that segment could be used to advertise products.

Biggus Dickus, with his very descriptive name, would make a natural spokesman for a penis enlargement or male enhancement product, saying he used to be “Smallus Dickus” before he used (whatever brand of penis enlargement supplement).

And his wife, Incontinentia Buttocks would be the perfect spokesperson for Depend Undergarments: she has a specific issue, and Depend Undergarments helps solve her problem so nobody else would ever know about her problem, if only it weren’t for her name.
