Commercial of the Day

posted by on May 25 at 14:32 PM

Here’s how they sell condoms in France…

UPDATE: Says COMTE in comments…

Huh, I thought the punchline was going to be more along the lines of, “Don’t want to raise a spoiled brat? Use condoms.”

That’s actually this condom commercial, COMTE…

I have no chance of getting laid, but these commercials make me want to go out and buy condoms.

Makes me think that a really smart condom manufacturer would ask that their display be put up right next to the bulk candy section in the supermarket.

Oh, Jesus. Forget condoms-- I think the second one just made my ovaries shrivel up and die.

Hmmm… NOT France, probably Canada (you wouldn't find english captions in France, the cop in the first ad isn't in a French uniform, and the second kid has an unmistakable Canadian accent). I wish France had gotten to that level.

These are as old as the hills.

You'd do well to put a link to vasectomy doctor because condoms do fail and kids do happen.

For the first one i'd say canadian, definitely not french (policemen uniforms not french, punchline always in french or translated in France, plus i've never seen it in France).
The second one is probably belgian (the supermarket cited are only found in Belgium), where the ads are often part in english so that french and dutch-speaking can understand.
