The 60-second ad is split into two parts, the first being a super sexy promo that emphasizes the product’s ability to deliver “bigger” and “plumper” results. Cardi B prances and purrs, joined by some duck-billed backup dancers and giant phallic-shaped props.

Fans of the brand had already pointed out that the name Duck Plump was ripe for comedy, so creatives took the concept to an outlandish level, giving Cardi B the last word in the spot: “They put it where? Why?”
But she knows why.
