Merv Hughes learns ‘The Man Shake’ to get rid of beer gut in new weight-loss supplement ad
Three Australian sportsmen – cricket’s Merv Hughes, AFL’s Paul Roos and NRL’s Adam MacDougall – discuss the ‘man shake’ in a new ad for a weight-loss shake which purports to help men lose their beer guts, without having to ditch the booze.
Created by The Proverbials, the new ad spot sees the men in a pub discussing a new form of ‘man shake’ – which initially causes confusion as Roos demonstrates the rapid up-and-down motion of the shake.
After explaining the new movement, Roos asks MacDougall for a Man Shake for Hughes, with MacDougall proclaiming: “See Merv, you can lose the beer gut without losing all the beers”.

Oh Roosey. No! Next you’ll be doing ads AT LOWES.
