Durex Balloon Animals

Not much to say about this Durex ad made by NY animation studio Superfad for Atlanta agency Fitzgerald + Co, except that it made us laugh. Apparently, everything is done in CGI. Shame, we had visions of a particularly filthy-minded party balloon folder twisting away in a studio somewhere...

I have to say, that did make me laugh. It's interesting to see how they're attempting to position durex/condoms as a part of sex in a light hearted way, as opposed to the government/NHS line of 'wear a condom everytime you even think about sex or you'll get aids and die'. Note: That may not be their EXACT copyline...

I take it that this is viral internet stuff rather than TV material...

This video is simply genius! A quirky funny video that relates to the audience.

This is brilliant. Really made me laugh! They should get it on TV (probably after the watershed) and playing in bars & clubs too.

I'm going to be laughing for days. Good advertising should be memorable and this is just that; wonderful work.

Love it. Like all the little moves that add character, and the timing is just perfect.
So simple, yet so much in it. Good job. I'd echo a previous comment too... nice to see a fun take on this subject, rather than a threat or use of terror!

Genius :) I Can't imagine seeing that one playing on UK television sets any time soon though.
