Hilarious Durex condom ad. Featuring cute little balloon animals. The sound effects are what cracked me up.
(Do I even need to say it's probably NSFW? No, I didn't think so.)

OMG. That embarrassed me. Condoms don't embarrass me. I'm speechless!

ha! The outtakes are great. Maybe too great? I suspect they aren't real...

1, 2, 3.

I'd missed the outtakes... hehehe

(And yeah, you know, CGI outtakes are always fake. Yes, you knew that.)

hee! CGI outtakes. Love.

I will have nightmares about this. Balloon squeak is worse than fingernails on a blackboard for me. But I clicked anyway, knowing there would probably be squeaking. It was worth it.

These all made me giggle a whole lot.

It looks like the balloon animals are humping.

Hee. Thirding the outtake love.

Are we sure those balloon animals are old enough to consent to be filmed?

Those are hysterical!

I can't imagine where they might be shown though. Canada can be quite liberal (nekkid people on the evening news, fer instance); but I think even they'd pass on them. Maybe the Playboy Channel? Europe?

I believe they were made specifically for the web, deborah... I found them via an article on Slate.com, and it mentioned the fact that the company wanted something too racy for TV.

Deborah, they're swiss and not set to air on RealTV just web ads.

Also, they're rip-offs - Balloon animals having sex badlander - the second images on that page, from Themensroom.nz also came with a fantastic film, which sadly I never received permission to post (I emailed and received no response a whole buncha times). Trust me it was exactly the same idea, but a black background. funny as hell yes.
