New York-based Washington Square Films directing duo Spielbergs (Alex Karpovsky and Teddy Blanks) team up with Dollar Shave Club to solve men’s most embarrassing skincare woes for the popular startup’s new product line, Big Cloud. In the seven-spot campaign, hapless men apply too much hand lotion before a handshake at an important job interview, make small talk with a coworker while revealing painfully chapped lips and blind their supervisors in a meeting due to an excessive application of sunscreen.

The spots, which were produced in-house, received AdWeek’s “Ad of the Day” honor.
