In this joke ad for Charmin bathroom tissue, we meet the (fictional) fairy tale prince, Prince Charmin; he’s Prince Charming’s cousin, but he not only didn’t get the looks, he actually has a butt for a face (well, sort of: his cheeks are so big and jowl-like, and his features so small, it gives the impression of buttocks as a face). And as if that wasn’t bad enough, he has allergies, so he’s always blowing his nose and such. And the bathroom tissue of the day in fairy tale land was extremely rough; kind of like those brown paper towels in school restrooms.
Well, seeing as how the successor to the throne was having issues with discomfort upon his Royal butt face, it was decreed that someone must come up with a better solution. And so, the court magician used all his white magic to create a rolled tissue so soft, it could be used indefinitely without discomfort. And it was named after the one it was created for: (Prince) Charmin.
And so it was that Charmin was born into the world: the only bathroom tissue with fairy tale magic softness.
(Actually, this could work well as a real ad for Charmin: simply make the prince normal looking {you know, handsome and dashing, as per the usual fairy tale stuff}, but have him be super pampered like Royals often are, and so he has super sensitivity to discomfort, kind of like The Princess and the Pea. And so because normal bathroom tissue is so uncomfortable for him, the court wizard uses his powerful white magic to create a bathroom tissue with the ultimate, cloud like softness. And despite the wizard’s efforts, the bathroom tissue gets named after Prince Charmin anyway, as it was created for him and his epic sensitivity. {Also, the story of The Princess and the Pea could be used for another ad, but with the prince being saved from a storm; and to confirm that he is indeed a prince, they give him regular bathroom tissue to use, and he cannot stand how rough and uncouth it is; and hence they know he is truly a prince after all, and so they give him Charmin to use, and they are Royally rewarded for saving the prince and his tender backside from harm. The end.})
