Recruitment ads aren't always serious. I found some classics from the 1980s.

All his videos are on TikTok, which I checked out for the first time tonight. Some are funny, and others comment on his life as a gay sailor. He made them all himself in his free time. They're not official Navy recruitment ads.

One of the videos promotes his appearance on The Weakest Link last month. He and his brother were contestants on a special all-twins episode.
Spoiler
Josh and Jacob lost in the final round. The strongest link, Jessica and Nina, won $53K. The questions weren't as hard as in Slamboree.

Well, to be fair, lining up a group of drag queens on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier might give the Chinese navy pause, if only for a good guffaw or two.

I'm still not seeing the connection between how sailors choose to dress during their off-duty hours and their ability to do their job and do it well. Would you care to elaborate?

Or are you just going for some mean girls vibe where you laugh at people for no reason other than that they choose to be different from you? Which, I'll admit, would be totally on brand for you, but maybe I'm wrong about your thinking in this instance. --Bob

Just as say using someone who strips as a hobby or builds cuckoo clocks isn't exactly a recruitment tool for armed forces.

Kind of like using Bobbo as a recruitment tool for a comedy club.
