In all the Cialis commercials, why are couples always in tubs?
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 06:13 PM by amitten
Every single freakin' time. For years now. In tubs.

How many times have you stared out at nature (mountains, the ocean, you name it) HAND IN HAND with your partner, side by side, in matching tubs...?!




:wtf:

1. The first thing they do when someone ODs on heroin is to put them in the tub
maybe they've all ODd on Cialis?

2. Maybe it's part of the small print
"This product must be used in conjunction with a warm bath." :shrug:

17. And there they are, by God--in all their tub-encased glory.
Can't you just feel the crazy sex vibes a poppin'?

And, whatever happened to Jacuzzis...?

8. A better question is

12. That's always been my question...what's with the separate tubs?
It seems to defeat the purpose somehow.

27. I think they're subtly suggesting Cialis can help him reach her from that far away
Hint: that wasn't a spigot curling over the front of her tub.

11. Just a lame "hook" that the ad agency sold to the marketing people at the manufacturer.
It really IS that simple. I know; I'm in that business.

13. It's a bad one. Separate tubs=sex without touching.
And who in the hell hauls bathtubs outside to bathe side-by-side in?

Who are these strange tub folk...?

16. I asked a Cialis sales rep that same question.
He told me that the company shot a year's worth of commercials at a time. They flew all the actors, producers, film guys, and all the other neccesary personel to a sound stage in South Africa. The lead producer saw the tubs in a prop barn, and had the crew shoot a couple of scenes using the tubs, just on the spur of the moment. Then, they ran the ads by focus groups, with all the other ads, and the tubs scored very high. Interestingly enough, Cialis has been increasing their market share with that approach, while the "Viva Viagra" ads have cost Pfizer dearly.

Tub-coveting crazy fools, every last one of them.

21. My wife and I have been maried thirty years.
Thirty years ago, we could fit in one tub together. Now, we need two.

28. Totally. Plus, it just screams, "VIAGRA IS FOR UNSUCCESSFUL, IMPOTENT YOKELS!"
Really loudly.

36. Yes, indeed. Why the HELL are they singing about it instead of going home and
doing something with it?

You got bidness at home, boys. Go take care of it.

19. It's meant to represent a total fantasy. Like the idea that people should use Cialis. nt

24. Being in separate tubs won't do 'em much good. Unless Cialis is more potent that I thought.
As a strictly pragmatic consideration, making whoopie submerged in water tends to dilute one's natural lubricants. I strongly advise getting out of the tub when more than foreplay is at task.

29. It does represent foreplay.
They have thirty six hours to enjoy each other.

33. And, by the way, if I have "an erection that lasts more than four hours," I'm NOT calling any
doctor; I'm having Mrs R call all of her friends and invite them over.

37. Not a problem. Those tubs would be upside-down within the first ten minutes. Then we'd proceed
to destroy the rest of the house.

Just like we did in the old days. Still do, but it's only once a week or so anymore...sigh.
