Jan 7 2009Most Complained About Commercial Of 2008
This is allegedly the most complained about commercial of 2008. It's an Australian ad for Kotex U brand tampons. And, despite all feminine hygiene commercials making me die a little bit inside, I didn't think it was that bad.
Thanks to Julian for reminded me that Summer's Eve commercials are, in fact, totally awesome.

I love the symbolism!

Those free credit report commercials, especially the one with that douche singing about working at the restaurant - are the most annoying commercials. This one's pretty funny

i was really hoping the beaver would t some point cut itself and start bleeding
5. known - January 7, 2009 2:52 PM
..especially if it happened on a soup can w/ the lid still attached when the thing was swimming in a river. Then there'd be a message about pollution too
6. hmmm - January 7, 2009 2:55 PM
best symbolism?
the red fingernail polish on the beavers clawssss

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja are building a tree house and the poor neighbor kids come by and steal it from them. They declare war, putting a bees nest into the tree house, and shooting them with fireworks. At one point Baja cut herself on a nail and Max commented - that's a nasty gash you got there.

complained about by christian groups/prudes or something? this is pretty funny! but i agree with other posters - you take it this far and you might as well have it bleeding or something.

I find all of these ads sickening. Some things just shouldn't be advertised in public.
10. Proteon - January 7, 2009 3:09 PM
Daisy please.
11. Wes - January 7, 2009 3:13 PM

12. QUASIMODEM - January 7, 2009 3:19 PM
Daisy, time to rectify the "shadow's". You've been posting that daily for weeks now. Disappointing.
13. SiGee - January 7, 2009 3:22 PM
This is funny shyt!
14. pussey - January 7, 2009 3:32 PM
I'm happy when my beaver is happy.

@12 Try months.
You don't know yet the Evil that is Daisy.
16. Thumperchica - January 7, 2009 3:47 PM
ROTFLMFAO!!!! Awesome, way better than the shit chick commercials we show here in the US of A.
17. Beastman AIDS - January 7, 2009 3:52 PM
Yea it's been months - on the bright side i've developed a sixth sense as to where in the thread Daisys post will be so I can conveniently skip it all-together and save myself some valuable life.
18. Andyman - January 7, 2009 3:54 PM
LOL! Brilliant!
19. Samantha - January 7, 2009 3:55 PM
You have to love the subtlety.
20. desiree - January 7, 2009 4:03 PM
despite the annoying background music, i thought it was pretty funny. and yes to the red fingernail polish on the beav.

@21 No you don't, shut up.
24. I'm a Computer - January 7, 2009 5:03 PM
@21... eww she smokes in real life? what a turn off. i cannot believe she is actually currently smoking, in real life. what a turn off. they should have made those two guys on the beach pet the beaver or make out with it. what a turn off.
25. Dozer - January 7, 2009 5:13 PM
Uncle. This commerical was actually cute. It was not be one of those delightful feminine hygeine product commercials where a mother and daughter talk about those products. After all, how can one stop talking with one's mother about choices in douches or tampons?
26. TMagee - January 7, 2009 5:28 PM
Why do I want to f*** that beaver?
27. DeeplyTroubled - January 7, 2009 5:42 PM
In this day and age shouldn't the beaver be hairless?
28. H&R Block - January 7, 2009 6:06 PM
Apparently you haven't seen OUR disturbing commercial (click the link to check it out).
29. Avsky - January 7, 2009 6:20 PM
The guy that did these ads did all the cancer ads and crap for Aussie TV too :)
30. fax - January 7, 2009 6:24 PM
I think it's a BORE of an idea... people call a pussy "beaver" so lets...lets...
lets use a beaver in the add??
sorry but for advertisement this the most basic shit.
Anyways, I've seen worse adds for tampons and i'm having my period so
I hate all kinds of beavers.
31. Elmo - January 7, 2009 7:20 PM
cute beaver puppet. They have beavers in Australia?? should have been a wombat
32. Nuggets - January 7, 2009 8:34 PM
@27 I like that it gives away the fact that the drapes don't match the carpet.
33. Gizmoduck - January 7, 2009 9:16 PM
condoms?
who the f*** f*** wears condoms?
square
go for the win
34. formerly SPELLINGNAZI - January 7, 2009 9:46 PM
That beaver needs to be bald, it was too hairy for me. Awesome commercial though, props to the company and ad execs for having the balls to do that!
35. formerly SPELLINGNAZI - January 7, 2009 9:49 PM
Here we go, she's got the right idea, though not nearly as hot as the girl from the Kotex U ad:

i get it - a groundddd hoggggg!!
37. Spam Artist - January 8, 2009 4:17 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Tender Dracula where, where am I?
38. Lily - January 8, 2009 10:07 AM
While it's funny, it doesn't make me want to use their tampons/pads. Now, if it was a BLOODY beaver that used the pad as an absorbant cap, then I might reconsider.

I wouldn't be blaming religious groups for this. Trust me, a mixture of all peoples would go something like "Oh... a direct reference to a bleeding vagina that's 30 seconds long. That's kind of gross."
40. n-shizzle - January 8, 2009 10:53 AM
Haha, wonder which one of the guys are supposed to wingman the beaver, bestiality at its best.
41. NekoNeko - January 8, 2009 11:55 AM
You know, I've heard about this commercial before & I imagined it to be so much more raunchy & racy than this. This is cute, but it's more stupid than anything else.
42. john - January 8, 2009 1:19 PM
@ #3
That was the first one I thought of
43. phoenixforceforever! - April 19, 2009 4:15 AM
please.... this is hilarious! it's cute, funny, cheeky..the symbolism is great! the idea of painting it's nails sketched me out for a sec, but wait...it's a beaver. in a tampon ad. clearly they aren't going for fact. lighten up, you christian prudes!
