Waxman Staff Writer Jan 20, 2015 6:11 PM UTC Doves’s male-focused product line Men+Care has released its Super Bowl ad, which pays tribute to fathers. The spot almost entirely consists of children screaming “dad” or “daddy,” and the ad’s text says, “What makes a man stronger? Showing that he cares.” A 30-second version of this commercial will air during the 1st quarter of the game, a Dove spokesperson told TIME. In a [news release](http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dove-men-care-launches-real-151900215.html), Jennifer Bremner, director of marketing at Dove Men+Care, said: --- > “” --- Bremner also [told AdWeek](http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/returning-super-bowl-2015-dove-mencare-aims-challenge-male-stereotypes-161861) last month that the commercial is part of a conversation about masculinity “that we hope to start and spark on the Super Bowl.” And if it looks familiar, that is because it uses footage from its [“Real Dad Moments”](http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/doves-new-ad-shows-what-dads-really-do-158181) campaign, an ad released for Father’s Day 2014. The brand also [released](http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/dove-super-bowl-spot-scores-initial-points-men-107033) a Super Bowl ad in 2010, showing a boy starting to grow up to be a tough guy who has been told “don’t show your sensitive side.” He then marries, starts a family and finally feels comfortable enough to embrace that side: “You can take on anything because you can, you’re a man.” **MORE:** [Here’s Why Companies Can’t Say ‘Super Bowl’ in Their Super Bowl Ads](http://time.com/3674416/super-bowl-nfl-copyright-ads/) ### Fighting Teen Pregnancy: Portrait of a Radical High School Program, 1971  Caption from LIFE.
