The retail giant once known gloriously decades ago for the “blue light special” and the line “Attention Kmart shoppers” may now have a new line: “ship my pants”. An ad for Kmart features the phrase “ship my pants” while being spoken of in terms that allude to having a bowel movement in one’s own pants.
The commercial has now gone viral with thousands of viewers watching the funny commercial.
The objective for Kmart is to draw additional customers to their store with the promise that if they do not find what they are looking for, they can have that item shipped to their homes with free shipping. In one part of the commercial, a man expressed surprise that he can “ship” his pants on the spot. He later tells his son Billy that he too has permission to “ship” his pants in the store. An elderly woman standing awkwardly expresses with glee that she just “shipped” her pants saying “it was very convenient”.
A female patron whispers that she too “shipped” her drawers. Many people may not know that Kmart purchased retail giant Sears back in 2005 making it the third largest retailer in the world with only Walmart and Target being larger.
