I am very hesitant to ever say the phrase "That is the most {adjective} {noun} I have ever {sensory verb}!!" You know - "funkiest song I’ve ever heard!!", "hottest girl I’ve ever seen!!", etc.
I don’t even mitigate such sentences with "might" or "could" as a general rule. But I am telling you right now, this French commercial for Orangina might be the most fucked-up-crazy advertisement I’ve ever seen!!" (I’m posting this at great risk of becoming the #1 Ad-blog destination for Furries the world over.)
Oh, to have been an anthropomorphized, dancing fig-leaf-wearing fly-on-the-wall when the ad execs pitched this to Orangina:
Ad Exec: Ok, so we open up in a forest with a doe on a swing, with a tremendous rack.
Client: Female deer don’t have racks.
AE: No, I mean tits. Great tits.
C: What? The deer has -?
AE: - And then this bear takes her Orangina and she, like, falls into these rose petals, just like in American Beauty!
C: Umm.. o…kay…
AE: Boom! We’re now in a forest strip club! Flamingoes and octopus women are dancing on poles while the bear and his friends look on. Lap dances ensue.
C: Wait, what?! Flamingoes and octopuses are -
AE: With great tits!
C: What?
AE: The flamingo and octopus girls. They have great tits, too! In fact, just assume that all the female creatures in this scenario have great tits unless I specify otherwise. So anyway, the deer does a little burlesque show capped off by that one FlashDance scene where Jennifer Beals does the bucket of water thing.
(one of the female clients gets up and leaves)
Dancing! General mayhem! Girl zebras riding Orangina bottles ’til their raw make their caps explode, getting the wet, sticky stuff everywhere! An octopus-girl squeezes her orangey-tits and looks heavenward in orgasmic delight!
C: …
AE: {jazz hands} Orangina!
C: Call your coke-dealer. We’re hitting the strip clubs.
Seriously though, mouth-dropping strangeness aside, it really is a beautifully done advertisement. The concept is out of this fucking world; the artistry is top-notch. I will never understand this ad. But I love it! And if you, fair visitor, happen to be the creative director behind this gem, I have got to party with your crew some weekend!
And for you loyal readers who indulged me this far, check out the commercial in Hi-Def!

Whatever the concept behind it, I think this ad is a hit.
It certainly is making its way around the Internets.

I agree. I absolutely love strange ads, and this one definitely fits the bill.

Sweet ads, dude.
