Farting Elves Promote Pepto Bismol

As if elves weren’t already cute enough, P & G had to show just how much cuter they are when they are farting and grabbing their ass so their diarrhea doesn’t slip out. Yes. All in the name of promoting Pepto Bismol. Not to be outdone, Panasonic, copying an Edge spot from 2001, shows a couple having sex in a car wash to somehow show how great their razors are and Smirnoff uses a dead guy’s ashes-turned-diamond to sell vodka. And let’s not forget how a goat jacket has something to do with selling T-mobile phone service. It’s just our friendly ad industry at work for you this week. Catch those and other freaky wonders over at Ad Age’s TV Spots of the Week.

Real confidence rarely needs to announce itself: it shows up as stillness under pressure, a level voice when everyone else in the room is raising theirs, a willingness to let silence sit for a few extra seconds, and no need to perform for an audience that was never really watching
