Funniest Condom Ad I've Seen All Year (for Durex, by Superfad)

This is not okay for kids to watch, but it's potentially safe to sneak-watch at work. Durex: Get it On. YouTube, and here it is at the designers' site with hilarious "out-takes." (Via Clayton Cubitt, thanks Susannah Breslin!)

Yeah, I had to follow up with a YouTube search on “superfad” – time well wasted, awesome cool stuff (esp. ps3 ad, & talk on making of same).

I wrote/directed two very funny commercials for Trojan Condoms. You can view them here:

Oh, the Telegu condom song! I blogged that a couple of years back. It’s lovely. Thank you for reminding me of it.

Have you seen the Trojan Games ads?

Rockin’ animation. That’s pretty expressive for balloon animals.

Already killed on YouTube. I wonder if it offended someone.

Amazing bunch of prudes- they can show Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” but not cartoon images without any visible obscenity. What’s wrong with this country?

Funny! I like this one Two Straight Boys Explore the Intricacies of Grind Dancing Together. Safe for work too.

Very nice work indeed.

Oh Noen! your link should have the same hilarious disclaimer as Antinous’ above!

And then there is the Indian public service video about condom usage… kind of NSFW. No nudity, but many images of condoms. :P

I thought this was funny, and then I looked at those out-takes.

I almost puked from laughing so hard.

I’m glad all of those balloon animals were the same species. Otherwise it would be just wrong.

…Here’s another one about as good:

“But I’m touching his butt!” “He’s touching my butt, you didn’t see that, did you?”

This principal is a jerkwad, and I love the way they had fun with him.

That one is sweet Talia. “I am the condom friend, ever useful to you.”

funny mammals.

So next time I’d dining with family at some kid-friendly restaurant and one of those annoying guys comes by asking if I want him to make me a balloon animal, I know EXACTLY what i’m going to do.

Why is this not okay for kids to watch? I saw more racy stuff as a kid and I turned out just fine.
Mazikeen

thanks for the warning about beverages. Out-take #2 probably would’ve killed me otherwise!!!

Dunno if real. Don’t care. Is the funnay!!!

Superfad-er, register and stay in touch! :)

It’s hard for us mammals to see what all the big deal is in how cephalopods do it, Takuan. Which if I recall involves handing the female a sperm packet for her to make use of later. Not sure I see the romance there.

…what’s a condom?

I went to Superfad’s site and watched their demo reel – insane. They’ve done it all – Honda, PS3, crazy beautiful stuff.

So, while this is cool for the type of effect it is (er, balloon art?), they also do amazing graphic art/animation.
ArghMonkey

Nicely done, creative and funny.

Why wouldnt we want kids to see this though exactly?

Someones puritan roots are showing … :)
