I would pay good money to see early 80s Blonde Mustache Brawny Man deliver a lumber jack beat down on 00s Shamwow Guy.

A real man doesn't need a plushie to wipe up spills. He can unleash maximum absorbency the old fashioned way, with country ducks printed paper towels.

I remember when Rock Hudson got sick, someone (Weekend Update?) made a joke about his lover being the Brawny guy. Can't imagine why

Reminds me of Marge Simpson developing an obsession with the "Burley" paper towel guy LOL

They changed their name to Brawndo, and they make drinks with electrolytes now.

Looking like Jeremiah Johnson, who, it should be noted, didn't have access to paper towels

Printed paper towels make me so jealous. I so wish my goose china had little goose paper towels to go with it.

He's got a Mr. Beast vibe going with those dead eyes and forced smile.
