I love the chunky dad bod guy from the SOTYKTU commercial

On TV in America in 2023, that guy is considered GROSSLY OBESE which is why the daughter cringes in embarrassment when seeing him in the speedo

Of course, in the real world, he has a pretty rockin Dad Bod(TM)

Oh he is so friggin hot. I'm assuming the creative who came up with the idea has a fetish or two. Anyway, I'm grateful because speedo dad is yummy.

I much prefer him to the chiseled-out-of-stone types. And he's handsome to boot.

R1, she cringes in embarrassment because her dad is wearing a Speedo period, not because of his body type. The stereotype is that Americans are very uncomfortable with men wearing Speedos.

Oooh yeah 🥵 .I first saw that commercial on streaming a couple weeks ago. Yowza but Daddy there is almost totally my type (only thing missing is glasses)! Handsome, solidly built. I love some solid curves to rub my hands over. She is one lucky woman, damnit!

R4. Exactly! The speedo makes her cringe. She probably wouldn't want to see mom in a bikini either.

Is he white?

I agree hes cute and the dad bod is fine,but honey,he showed zero bulge. He might be hung like a gerbil.

Not only did he show zero bulge, there was no VPL at all.

LOL the YouTube comments all having a meltdown over the dad's "inappropriate" behavior towards his daughter...

Their Puritan attitudes clearly cause them to cringe at the slightest notion of men being comfortable in revealing their bodies in public...

[quote]Not only did he show zero bulge, there was no VPL at all.

I really don't think a national commercial would have the guy in Speedos where the head of his cock could be made out.

Then national commercials are doing it wrong.

HOT.

OP- He look like TRANS dad.

I’d sniff the speedos.

Is this something Polish?

He’s so hot

You can tell he has musculature underneath the body fat. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the belly bulge was purposely exaggerated (letting it hang looser than usual; tighter Speedo etc)

A pinch of shaft would have been helpful…

The daughter wanted her old daddy—the one in a long sleeve shirt, to hide his nasty skin issues.

Maybe if he lost 30 or 40 pounds.

I just watch the video again make that a good 40 pounds.

Skeletons get R21 hot.

Dad is hot. His real wife is one lucky gal.

I’m so glad everyone else loves him too. He’s fuckkng hot.

The best sex I’ve ever had was with guys who look like that. They know their bodies aren’t perfect, so they don’t have an attitude, and they know they have to step it up in the bedroom. However, because they’re hot enough, you’re actually enthusiastic to have sex with them; and because they’re not perfect, you don’t feel so self-conscious about your own shortcomings, so you can just relax and have great sex!

The first time I saw that commercial I got an instant boner & felt the urge to Jack off at once. So glad I found this thread, I thought I was the only one.

R11 Showing him that way actually messages that American men have to be emasculated, or lose their "toxic masculinity" in Guardian-speak.

Kill it with fire.

There are two reasons why the male model is fat:

1. It shows us that the drug is really effective in clearing his psoriatic skin, that he feels so confident in how his body looks that he feels proud enough to go out in public in a Speedo—something very few fat American men would otherwise be willing to do.

2. It is a way to show a semi-nude man on a nationwide television commercial without it looking pornographic and potentially offending a general audience.

No way, OP. He vibes like a pedo.

Is R1 okay? Has anyone checked?

This is a common advertising trope, the clueless male/husband/dad. This is a type that appeals to women as well as men because he's seen as relatable and "real," in contrast to a skinny, preening model or a ripped action star-type.

The character in this example is not meant to be seen as "fat," and the actor playing him is actually not fat at all. He's large and muscular, what we call "fit-fat." R30 is correct that he represents the after-effect of the medicine advertised and is meant to demonstrate a user of the medicine wanting to show off their psoriasis-free skin.

He is very handsome IMO, and looks sexy in the speedo. Yum.

As a psoriasis sufferer myself, I totally get it. Whenever my psoriasis goes into remission, I feel so liberated that I want to wear short-sleeve shirts and shorts, something I never get to do. The actor wearing very little clothing is representing that feeling.

It is similar to the way people with toenail fungus feel when their toenails clear up. They want to wear sandals and flip flops everywhere they go.

Still no name available — yet!

The YouTube comments are overly negative, basically saying that the man is gross for wearing a Speedo and that he’s a perv for wearing such a skimpy bathing suit in front of his daughter. Interestingly, most of the negative comments are coming from women. What’s funny is that feminists have been claiming for decades that men fear women’s sexuality. RUBBISH!!! I’ve long said that it’s women who fear men’s sexuality. If a man tries to be sexy, it’s women who slap him down. Women can wear bikinis to the beach, but men have to wear board shorts, so just who exactly is suppressing whose sexuality?

What is moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and why do tens of millions of Americans suffer from it? (based on the number of these ads I see every day on MSNBC).

R33- The only Reason he’s not considered fat is because today we have the normalization of obesity. If before 1977 he definitely would be considered fat but with the normalization of obesity is no longer considered fat just a bit chunky.

Jackie Gleason at the time was considered a tub of lard. Today he'd look pretty average.

(The average American male adult now weighs 200lbs and has a waistline over 40 inches. The average!)

R39- There was a McDonalds commercial on YouTube from 1978. It should some teens . The girl liked the guy and the guy like the girl and finally the guy sits down next to the girl at a McDonalds. People were commenting on the video- EVERYONE was so skinny back then.

What we have today is the normalization of obesity so that the normal sized people of 1978 now look SKINNY.

This is the commercial I'm referring to. In those days everyone was slim. Today most people are fat or muscular or both.

R40 Some of us don't have to look at videos to know what teens looked like in the 60s and 70s! Or just compare high school annual photos then and now.

In America, the average male weight gain since the 60s is over 30lbs. That's enormous.

Parents can't control their kids' eating when they can't control their own.

You people aim very low, then again most old gays on DL are fatter than he is.

R36, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the type of women who comment on broadcast TV commercials posted on YouTube to say that a man in a speedo is "pervy" in a Helen Lovejoy-esque "Won't-you-please- think of-the- CHILDREN!" rant are probably not "feminists" concerned with the acceptance of "female sexuality."

Just an enormous hunch. But do go on painting all women with a brush the size of the Empire State building.

R43, I didn’t say feminists were commenting on YouTube about this commercial. I was saying that it was feminists who told us that men fear women’s sexuality and try to suppress it. I say the opposite is true, and based on the YouTube comments from women—feminist or otherwise—that appears to be true.

So feminists are all wrong about men because of comments on a YouTube video for a psoriasis commercial?

Okay, hon.

No, he's a chubsy wubsy

ugh...no way!

He's like a slightly less defined Talladega Tire Man, who is also a fit-fat hunk of beef.

You guys can have the twinks. Give me dad bod guy in commercial any day.

I want him in me quite deeply.

I want to be in a SOTYKTU swimsuit dad and Talladega Tire Man sandwich.

R36... women can dress like whores on a beach but a man, even if he has a incredible body (ewww, too big, too muscular, he must be a stuck on himself steroid asshole!) wearing something skimpy is not allowed by society and in their minds?!

women can spend 24 hours a day on beautifying themselves, but men can't!

women call men "superficial" for only caring about looks and a body, but women are hypocrites because if a handsome muscle man has a big fat wallet, they would change their opinion about him in a super fast 180 degree turn, so women are superficial too, just in a different way....

ANY woman who is "disgusted" by a very built handsome man is more of a reflection of THEM and their inherent or learned insecurities....

anyway, in regards to the commercial, it is pretty surprising that a AMERICAN made commercial would have ANY guy in a speedo in a commercial. That's how far we have REGRESSED in this country. SO prudish especially when it comes down to the male body..

I'm old enough to remember on DAYTIME talk shows (!) they would have regularly male strippers on and in thongs and explicit dancing and so on. NOW? this stuff wouldn't make the air, daytime or nighttime and would be seen as disgusting, inappropriate, stupid, silly, plain wrong, etc.

Ha! OMG me too! I was thinking the same thing while I was bombarded with these commercials. 🥵 🩲

FAT!

I’m on Sotyktu

^^Only $6,500 for a one month supply!

I still prefer Otezla guy, who is hot AF but has a little beef/chunk on him.

The OP has a fat fetish

Does Adam Sandler have an older, handsomer brother? This guy would certainly fill the bill.

I agree with many of the up-posters, Dad is HOT!

If he needs a ride to his dermatologist I'm available.

Valid

Hee hee

moooo

Ae DLers so sad that they lust after obese guys on commercials? Is this how low we've gotten?

stop normalizing/fetishizing fat!

[quote]I want to be in a SOTYKTU swimsuit dad and Talladega Tire Man sandwich.

Me too!

You haven't seen FAT until you've been to Chubfest in Palm Springs. LORD!

R48 is considered fat (“fit-fat” or otherwise)? In what world do you elderly twinks live?

[quote][R48] is considered fat (“fit-fat” or otherwise)?

He’s by no means fat, but he’s not carved out of stone. He’s a bit soft and plump (and has great big tits), which is just the way I like it.

Still no name on the Dad bod actor in the commercial yet … c’mon DL detectives!

It would be fun to see the audition tapes for this commercial. I wonder how many guys in Speedos they went through to find the right one.

Apparently, it's this guy.

R71, he’s Latino too? Oh, now I’m really going to blow a load!

I just don't find speedos hot...unless I am sleeping with the wearer.

Damn! Sexy! I see no sign of a wife or girlfriend. I wonder if he "just hasn't found the right girl" or "just too busy focusing on his career"? *cough cough*

Interesting in that if you look at his photos from his instagram page, he looks like he works out quite regularly. I wonder if he was asked to gain some weight and be "chunky" for the commercial?.....

Being that he is latin, I think he had no problem being in a speedo either! AWESOME!....

Normally I go for bodybuilders, but this chunk lunk I find sexy......

I'm just amazed that a American commercial would have any guy built or not in a speedo in 2023! As I mentioned before, we seem to have gone backwards in this country on celebrating and showing off the male body on TV.

I’m on Sotyktu! Yay!

Sotyku sounds like one of Hello Kitty’s friends.

Thanks for the update, R71!

[quote] Interesting in that if you look at his photos from his instagram page, he looks like he works out quite regularly. I wonder if he was asked to gain some weight and be "chunky" for the commercial?

Years ago when I live in LA, a bodybuilder/con artist I know booked a "before and after" ad for some kind of supplement. He took the AFTER shot right away and then joyously went on a two week binge vacation to get ready for the BEFORE shot. It was like watching a small child in a literal candy/burger/ice cream/pizza shop.

Their target audience must be gays who want to sleep with somebody's husband

Direct marketing of prescription drugs to consumers is really fucked up. That said, I approve of Speedo Dad! Momma's mussy is a little moist.

R79... any hints on who you are talking about?

Nobody famous or recognizable, R82. And it was decades ago.

I'm hoping the follow up will be him in a speedo AND a leather harness....

Chances are you will if it’s an ad for a drug that works on plaque psoriasis but only if you’re in Provincetown…

R83... a bodybuilder or physique/fitness model? If he was ever in a competition or on a fitness magazine, I bet I would know it....

speaking of drug commercials, I remember (forgot the drug itself) a couple of years ago, a commercial where a distinguished older black gentleman was the subject of the commercial and at the end of the commercial he sat on a sofa and with a young boy (his grandson in the commercial?) and the scene ended with the two sitting side by side, but the young boy had rest his arm on the leg of the grandfather actor and actually rested his hand in/on the CROTCH of the older man playing the grandfather!

How in the world did the director, editor, and so on not see this and retake the ending of this commercial! I know, I know I sound like a perv/pedo, but it was obvious to me!

does anyone know this guy

LOL, R81! Was wondering if Momma’s Mussy would be weighing in!

Oh, FUCK yeah. I saw this last night. Of course, the speedo is ridiculous, but DILF mode is in full effect here.

I actually stop what I am doing to watch that commercial every time it is on TV. The lead actor is everything I want in a man. If this means the end of fools lusting for creepy eunuchs like Shawn Mendes and Timothy Chalamet it would be the greatest day jn history.

"On TV in America in 2023, that guy is considered GROSSLY OBESE"

In America he'd be considered slim.

[quote]Their target audience must be gays who want to sleep with somebody's husband

Actually, I have noticed a trend lately with straight younger woman who have a fetish for Dad bods. No I am not making that up. Maybe they are getting tired of so much perfect make models everywhere it's boring. They are unobtainable, a guy like him is probably closer to what most of them have sex with on a regular basis.

That Latino pig is revolting.

Such a wonderful life with just a tiny pill.

The thing is, he's not remotely fat and he doesn't have "dad body." He's actually very muscular and worked out. The speedo is offset by an oversized open shirt that, with the messy hair and scruffy beard, does have the effect of making him look sloppy and unkempt.

But he's not fat. If he were better groomed and wearing a square cut bathing suit with a tight tank top you'd all be drooling over how hawt he was.

DL does not tolerate tank tops or flip flops.

Remember in "Alien" when Sigorney was trapped against the wall and the Alien was right up in her grill, slowly opening it's mouth and it's saliva was slowly dripping out?

[quote]If he were better groomed and wearing a square cut bathing suit with a tight tank top you'd all be drooling over how hawt he was.

If you were paying attention, you'd see that most of us ARE drooling over him.

Let's see your Speedo pic then, R93 .

He is a handsome man.

That’s what a muscular guy looks like at 20% bf, most chubby guys look like shit because they have no muscle on their base frame.

I admit, I love the guy in the speedos. Every time I see this thread pop up though, my mind jumps to "So You Think You Can Dance" when I see SOTYKTU.

Saddest DL thread ever

Bump

He is SO sexy!

Clips of the Sotyktu commercial (including the breakout star in the red speedo) have been showing up as sponsors on YouTube. No complaints from me, he’s sexy as hell!

he needs to do some porns

Pronto!

That Latino skin is like sweet honey sweet to lick......

Onlyfans dropping in 3,2...

As I posted previously, I find it quite interesting that ANY commercial in the United States would have a guy in a small speedo and proudly showing it/himself off..

Let's hope this is a trend!! 80s and 90s where are you!!...

I wish, R110! THAT’S an OnlyFans I’d subscribe to in a heartbeat!

Diabetes here we go!!!

This is so funny lol everytime I see that commercial I always think of how cute he is

You can tell whether a guy is just fat, or a muscular guy who’s not dieting or who’s bulking. The latter have firm bodies and the fat is distributed evenly,

R112 See what I am talking here, if he is smart, he should get a fan page. Sometimes those people have no idea on how to max their earning potential, they hope they could get on something bigger in the future but that rarely happened, they let 15 mins slipped away and earned nothing from it. If he plays right, he could earn mid/high 6 digits in a few months, he could buy a house or invest for his future, it's really a golden opportunity here.

I am sure that he doesn't want to be a whore.

R117 But people like whores and seriously there is nothing wrong about "being a whore" now, just look at the Kardashians, it all started with showing Kim's pussy and ass for the entire world to watch, they changed the game forever, and the whoring culture is nothing to be ashamed now!

Dad Bod needs to launch a big PR blitz!

OMG - me too! I even took pics on my camera of him on the TV. I think he is extra hawt!

I love Sotyktu daddy!!

[quote]I am sure that he doesn't want to be a whore.

He's already whoring himself for pharmaceuticals.

He looks so sexy in this new IG post

I don’t love that drug. It gave me cervicogenic headaches. Had to stop taking it

SO damn sexy indeed, R123! Thanks for sharing!

yassss r123!

Onlyfans?

[quote] I don’t love that drug. It gave me cervicogenic headaches. Had to stop taking it r124

You had headaches in your bagina?

A DL Star is Born!

Raúl...you in danger girl!

Sexy man

Why are we watching some video someone made by holding their camera at their television? Didn’t the company upload it to YouTube?

^ Yes, they did. Haven't you found it, yet?

Any new updates?

Mexicano.

Not mexican, Venezuelan.

He seems like he is single and has been like that since he was younger from what i could see in the interview he posted on intagram. I don’t know but i think he might be gay, a guy this good looking and this old without a girlfriend is very suspicious

Not really R135 . One of the happiest straight men I ever knew was a hottie in his 40s who got snipped when he went thru a pregnancy scare in his early 20s. He never married,had hot and cold running girlfriends and told them all from the git go "I aint looking to get married and I cant have kids"! Even with all that,one swore he had knocked her up,and took it to the wire even when DNA tests proved he wasnt the father. Bitches be crazy.

^But he is hispanic, honey , very uncommon for a Venezuelan straight guy to be single at his age

R123- He looks in far better shape there ( and far more attractive) than he did in that commercial. I agree with the person who said that he probably had to gain weight for that commercial.

[quote] I'm old enough to remember on DAYTIME talk shows (!) they would have regularly male strippers on and in thongs and explicit dancing and so on. NOW? this stuff wouldn't make the air, daytime or nighttime and would be seen as disgusting, inappropriate, stupid, silly, plain wrong, etc.

So true, R52.

There would be outrage and complaints about the violation of "safe spaces." Or the show is "grooming" children. Or some employee of the network would sue over the "hostile environment" created by the strippers...the employee did not give his or her "consent" to such topics.

The thing that kills me about him are his thighs

A vintage modeling photo — I think he looks even better now!

R161, I agree. His younger self looked like Fox News contributor and former president of N.O.W. Tammy Bruce.

I came here looking for a mention of this guy and the ad. Back in DL after a long absence. Totally love dad in a Speedo. He looks awesome.

Just saw this add pop up again, apparently it's effective enough to get America's attention. Hot Dad's in Speedo!

I just saw this ad for the first time and I just KNEW there would be a DL thread. Thank you for never disappointing me, DL!

(And, yes, he's hot!)

Why is showing himself off in a speedo to his daughter?

My heart - and hard cock - will always be about the beefy Otezla dad.

R146 - Be gone, Mom for Liberty. He was showing his swimsuit to his wife and his daughter walked by. But you knew that, frau.

Here you are.

Miss R148, did you see the rest of the commercial where he's parading in his speedo around the pool smiling at his daughter (and everyone else)?

He's at a fucking pool, R150. What are you expecting. Some kind of modesty garment? A billowing caftan?

[quote] He's at a fucking pool, [R150]. What are you expecting.

Perhaps a little good taste.

And a question mark.

If you're fat you shouldn't be parading around in a speedo. No one--especially one's daughter--wants to see that shit.

In related Datalounge news...

Splish splash

Agree, R 140, it’s those thick thighs in his Instagram dance that got me hot.

He definitely gained weight for the commercial. He’s really hot in his Instagram pics.

But those tits on Talladega Tire Man…holy shit!

[quote]But those tits on Talladega Tire Man…holy shit!

Yes! I could suckle all night!

Is he the same guy from that jardiance like commercial with the fat dude dancing?

I think it would be amazing if he was paired with the woman (Deanna Colon) from the Jardiance commercial! They would make an adorable chunky couple!

Who's the actor at R154?

I think he's sexy, too.

But for the poster who kept complaining about differing beach apparel standards for men and women - you do realize that women are generally required to keep their tits covered, right?

[quote] you do realize that women are generally required to keep their tits covered

Not in Europe, R162.

Well, swimming briefs on men are much more accepted in Europe too, aren't they? And public nudity in general. But the commercial isn't set in Europe.

There are nude beaches in the states as well, R164.

[quote] But the commercial isn't set in Europe.

Actually, it is, R164. None of the principals involved are American.

Some people online really freak out about this ad. It’s pathetic.

Freak out, R167? Or are just put off by the fat guy in a speedo? Get a grip, Mary.

gross

[quote] You haven't seen FAT until you've been to Chubfest in Palm Springs.

Now you know WHY the San Andreas Fault runs through that town.....

HA, R170!

Sorry, but chunky butts do not need to be seen out in a Speedo.

It's revolting how this good-looking actor allowed himself to get fat like that. Especially an actor. What a waste.

He’s so hot. I’d love to have my head crushed between his thick thighs.

Freak out, R168. Saying the ad is “grooming” and sexual.

People are weird.

No one said that, R175.

Fuck you, R176.

The inbreds on X are all saying it.

That's X. This is DL. You lost, honey?

Just kidding, R177.

Deanna and fat Dad are the reason Americans are so unhealthy, they are mainstream now, they are the average American now.

Fine, R180--but generally, they're not wearing speedos.

I would love to see a commercial with Deanna in a speedo and no top...!
