The CTube

A YouTube user named Banned Commercials brings us a wild commercial for Belgian condom-maker Zazoo. The ad is an ingenious tale of a young man and his volatile child. It is the ultimate “moral of the story” look at one of the potential results of unprotected sex.

It shows a man at the grocery store with his young son. The kid keeps putting a huge bag of candy in their cart, and his father repeatedly removes the candy. This does not bode well.

It starts with the son yelling that he wants the sweeties, the father feebly attempting to shoosh him.

A beautifully orchestrated, fully realized temper-tantrum to end all temper-tantrums ensues. It includes high-pitched screaming, running around, throwing groceries all over the floor and of course laying on the ground kicking and yelling.

This tantrum turns heads and draws the disapproving scowls of other store-goers. The women in the store think he is a man who cannot even control his own offspring.

The man sighs in embarrassment and shakes his head in exasperation, as the text below him reads:

“Use condoms.”
