We all know the Evil Dead movies and Bruce Campbell’s Ash character, and we likely mostly all know there’s a new cable channel series called: Ash vs. Evil Dead coming up soon on Starz. And certainly all fans know Bruce Campbell’s Ash generally gets doused and soaked with blood, gore, bile, and all types of assorted colorful fluids and goo when fighting the Evil Dead. And with that in mind, I thought it might make for a fun commercial for laundry detergent. It might even make a fun fake laundry detergent ad that’s really an ad for the TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead.
So here’s how this ad would work: We see Ash fighting the Evil Dead (in a clip from one of the first two movies, or from the new series), and he’s getting covered in blood and gore and colorful goop, and the announcer says: “Oh! That’s going to leave a stain! Is there any way to escape the stain of the Evil Dead? Yes, with the power of (whatever brand of laundry detergent, real or imagined)!” And then we hear a chain saw sound effect to represent the power of the detergent’s stain-fighting ability. And then we see Ash coming home, after a day fighting the Evil Dead (or maybe he uses the laundry machines at the store he works in), and he puts his disgustingly stained clothes in the laundry, uses the laundry detergent, we jump cut to the end of the drier cycle, and presto, out come the clothes immaculately clean and looking brand new again.
This is Ash vs. Evil Dead:
