New Luvs Commercial Is Poop

Posted by Abe Sauer on January 3, 2011 12:30 PM

Is America's 2011 new year resolution to look at the easy laugh to be had from gutter humor, turn away and begin to class the joint up a bit? If the latest Luvs diaper commercial is anything to go by, the answer is a resounding no.

The above recent commercial has been blowing up Twitter every time it plays. The campaign coincides with an upcoming diaper design relaunch from Luvs offering, no kidding, "Heavy dooty protection." Poop, there it (indeed) is.

I detest this commercial and can't believe it's on TV.  It must have an audience, though, or it wouldn't be on the air so much, would it?  I guess there's no accounting for taste.

I have never posted a comment about a commerical (and there are some pretty bad ones out there) but the Luv's "pooping contest" commercial is just vulgar.  I hope it does not last long.

I don't understand what's so horrible about it. I guess no one else anywhere has a sense of humor anymore. Get your head out of your butt and read "Everybody Poops". It's not the 1920's anymore, bodily functions aren't something to be ashamed of. And yes, they can be funny. So everyone needs to take a chill pill and laugh once in awhile. I think it's cute. I mean hey, it happens to every parent and every kid. Lighten up Smile

Yes, everyone poops, but itis not a sport or a contest.  Are you keeping your kid's most filled diaper in the freezer as a remembrance?  Nature has given us the inborn good sense not to poop where we eat, I don;t want to see poop where I get my entertainment either.

This commercial has to be one of the most base and vulgar I've seen.

The worst , most tastless commercial I think I've seen. There are a lot of bad commercials, but this takes the prize.
