Trojan has long been the juggernaut in contraceptive sales, and that has allowed them to advertise more than any other condom distributor. After cornering the market with spots featuring zany sexual situations, a replica of USC's mascot, and plenty of awkwardness, the company has decided to move into the seldom advertised field of sex toys.
Before I get to the highlight - and if you've seen the commercial you already know what I'm referring to - let's examine the premise. I've not been to a whole hell of a lot of bridal showers, but it seems that none of the women consider gifting a sex toy outside the ordinary. That's cool with me, I'm not easily appalled. They throw in the humorous element of the woman receiving three of them as gifts, and they do the hair blowout gag (which looks very poorly done, but it's not like any other vibrator factories are putting the heat on Trojan so fuck it, they can do what they want). The acting is remarkably atrocious. I understand that it's all sort of tongue in cheek and over the top, but these chicks couldn't get a job from Vince McMahon delivering lines this badly.
Oddly, and in direct opposition with the women's poor acting, is the surprising authenticity of the statements from the women giving product testimonials. When the second lady says she absolutely loves it, dammit, I believe her. Kudos to Trojan for at least nailing this part of the ad.
I really liked the voice-over lady too. She sounds like she's selling Snuggies for God's sake, not clitoral stimulators. I keep expecting to hear her say "but wait, there's more! Call in the next 10 minutes and receive this set of anal beads for free. That's a $30 value that you get absolutely free. Just pay separate processing." I would feel comfortable buying my sex toys from a relaxed, confident, credible lady such as she.
A hilarious disclaimer lets us know that the TriPhoria isn't for sale in Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, or Virginia. I guess the Dirty South ain't that dirty after all. Rap music is a LIE.
And, without further ado, we have arrived at the lone male in the commercial. I'm surprised a falsetto "sss-weet!" hasn't overtaken the land a la Charlie Sheen catchphrases. Everyone thinks the guy must be gay or that he is leaving his lady unfulfilled, but I just think he wants to watch sports and play video games. He's happy about all of the vibrators laying around because he's free to do what he wants. Good for you, dude. Just make sure to stock a shitload of batteries.
