Private Project

Pissy Pants

A comical look at the advertising world in this spoof advert, poking (often close to the bone) fun at the techniques used to get you to buy adult incontinency products.
Opening with wild claims and somewhat risqué visuals Mad Jack’s Shack claim to be the one and only company to be able to supply a product that every man has been waiting for and needs.
Archibald the interviewer and story teller in his no budget advertisement continues down the path of making bogus claims and using clearly fake interviews to make Pissy Pants look like the next “must have product” for men, using all the tacky techniques he has seen in all the bad advertisements.
In the guise of “Susan” (man, woman transvestite, you decide) he clearly sets up three alleged tradesmen visiting his house to point out how Pissy Pants have made their job much easier.
Using his own version of the stereotypical comparison test making Pissy Pants the clear winner.
With a lack of technical know how Archibald brings about his own answer to blurring faces and distorting voices to disguise the employees at the top secret research facility at Pissy Pants.
How can he not be onto a winner!

Director Biography - John Sidebottom

John Sidebottom, born and bred in Halifax, West Yorkshire England. I have always been interested in comedy be it, stand up, sketches or movies. No knowing how to “get into the business” and with a little encouragement from a local film maker I decided JUST DO IT. So armed with all the gear and no idea I came up with an idea, persuaded a few of the family to participate and BOOM! Our no budget movie was born. Our only problem was where to draw the line as we probably had enough ideas to turn this into a full feature. Who knows it still might happen in the future.
