Viagra always has such wonderful gift ideas

In case the brand's TV ads are too clinical for you, these "interactive" Viagra "gift fans" from Pfizer Korea (via ad agency Cheil Worldwide) focus on the human side of the drug's principal effect—i.e., giving old and/or fat guys boners. The bananas in the background are a nice touch, but the best part of the whole thing might be this photo of a doctor shown using the fan. There's a guy with a great bedside manner. Via Ads of the World.

Mexican ad for Viagra actually doesn't suck

Viagra commercials are generally awful, particularly the "Viva Viagra" ones with the guys sitting around grinning widely as they play music and sing about their erections. (The best thing about those ads is the name Copyranter gave the band: the Whiskey Dicks.) Cialis ads are no better. Maybe it's just because E.D. advertising is so wretched, but the new Viagra spot above, from Z Publicidad in Mexico, is pretty decent. It actually has an idea—it takes its characters back in time, all the way back to the first time—and strikes a decent, non-off-putting balance between romance and passion. By the end of the spot, the couple appear to be in their late teens. Go back any further, and they'd be in a JC Penney commercial.
