My Palms Are Literally Sweating From The Awkwardness

Oh my God.

Oh.    My.   God.


Stayfree Maxipads? Has created a web commercial with a shirtless dude that is quite possibly the most douche-tastic/awkward/cringe-inducing 3 minutes to ever hit the interwebs.

I have to watch it like I'm watching a slasher movie. Through my fingers.

At any moment I'm sure my computer screen is going to implode because it has called some worm-hole of awkwardness in the the universe.

So- here: don't say I didn't warn you..... and tell me if you think he has a raisin stuck to his butt.

OMG. Terrible. Maybe it's not a raisin. Maybe he's not wearing his Stayfree pads with wings.

Unknown said...

ewe! The MOST uncomfortable 3 minutes of my day so far! lol And I couldn't look away! I wanted to but just couldn't!

Mrs BC said...

He does have something stuck on his pants. Waaaaaaay creepy. *shudder*

Pam said...

'look how wet this ones are' someone needs to learn how to speak correctly. this video is funny to me for some reason. wonder if he was cringing inside cos he had to touch the pads. most guys hate buying them much less actually touching them. haha

Pam said...

p.s. there are other vids w different guys: ryan and brad

Rita Templeton said...

Oh my gawd. Really? REALLY?

I don't know how this guy said all that with a straight face. He must've been paid an exorbitant price, because this commercial rips the manliness right out of him, holds it up for the world to see, and then slashes the bejesus out of it.

And yeah ... that does look like a raisin. WTF?

SherilinR said...

i think he should have used red liquid. and that thing on his butt was a label. i think levis... bad placement!

Shannon said...

Yeah, WTF was all that?!?! And thought David Hasselhoff's performance on DWTS was cringe-tastic!

Mellie said...

Uhhh wow. I wonder how much he got paid to do that?!

3 Peanuts said...

I sure hope they paid him A LOT because he will never live that one down.

Philippa Lodge said...

oh WTF. Yeah, I think his pad slipped and he's leaking on his white jeans.

I think they're trying to do the "I'm on a horse" guy, but have ended up with "I'm on the rag"

Evolving Mommy Catherine said...

Am I supposed to want to purchase Stayfree now? Because I'm thinking anytime I see Stayfree anything I am going to cringe and walk the other way.

Shannon said...

I have no words...

"Trauma Mama S" said...

"Look how much dryer this ones are."

......

Wow.

Shelley Malone said...

I can't wait for all his friends to see this. It'll be like that time Joey's face was on a giant ad for STDs in the subway station.

SP said...

How much are your balls worth to you? OK, that's exactly how much we'll pay you to do this commercial, which will public remove them from your body. Welcome to being a eunich on the rag.

foxy said...

Okay. That was the worst thing ever.

Ick.

And yes to the raisin.

Steam Me Up, Kid said...

Do I detect an accent? I think we have to go ahead and blame Canada for this one.

Phew!

Type A Deb said...

Holy freakin' God! I have so many questions!!!! Who thought ANY of that was a good idea?!?!?!?!?
If Stayfree is supposed to be so great - why is he walking like that and why does he have leakage on his pants?!? That brand manager should be fired!!! How is that guy going to be able to live a normal life after that gig?!? The whole thing is just bizarre!!!

Denise Thomas said...

I couldn't do it. I started throwing up a little in my mouth before I got to the minute maek, and couldn't continue.

Whimsy said...

Really? This is what it has come to? I feel sooooo dirty! EWWWWWWWW! I hope the marketing person was fired!

Mrs. S. said...

After a long day, THIS was quite interesting...his friends are going to make fun of him for LIFE...seriously!!

And, yes...there appears to be a raisin adheared to his buttocks!!

DGB said...

I don't know what you guys are all talking about. I wanna buy a box of maxi-pads right now. Not sure why, but I do.

Pink Velvet Mommy said...

Hopefully he never becomes famous otherwise this will seriously HAUNT him for the rest of his life!!! He must have been very desperate for work and $$$ most embarrassing moments I would say for sure!!! It was very CREEPY watching it!!! How on earth did you come across this???

I vote levi's tag too, although raisen stuck to his butt is funnier!!!

Shaggs said...

There is no more of a turn off than a man saying the word "pad" all he needed to do was throw in the word "panties" and THEN there would have been blood spilt pad or no pad.

TILTE said...

i totally disagree- i think this is hilarious marketing for a product that's usually pretty boring. as soon as the pads made their debut, i was lolling.

also, i want to click that link for a date with trevor.

Kourtney said...

My question is, what kind of self-respecting GUY would stoop so low to do a maxipad commercial? I believe we've reached a new low.

Keyona said...

I'm speechless. I have no words. Creepy.

Strong, For a Girl said...

Of course Stayfree won...it's the size of an f'ing diaper. Also, I think you need safety pins to attach it to your panties. Maybe we can borrow some from the douchebag with fatty abs. (Note to self: no beer before shirtless infomercial).

Jaime said...

That is horrifying on so many levels

Kristie said...

I just barfed in my mouth. Ewww. I know I was warned, but not only did I waste 3 minutes of my day that I can't get back, I think I am dumber because of watching that video. Thanks for making me laugh :)

katiem said...

OMG. I couldn't keep watching past the introduction of the pads and blue liquid. What was someone thinking?!

Anonymous said...

OK, clearly they were trying for a play on the Porn for Women series of books but this is just wrong. i had to fast forward three times. Someday, he's going to regret this commercial. For now, I;m sure it paid his rent.

Me said...

Gah.

And not a raisin. A Levis tag.

Heff said...

oK, I lasted until 1:09 in the vid, and I consider that pretty manly of me.

Robb said...

I just read your blog. It’s alright. By that I mean it’s not entirely horrible. There were
parts where I thought I would rather be pleasuring myself with sandpaper, but you definitely have potential. I think it might be beneficial for you to check out a truly excellent blog, http://inspiredbycaffeinenicotine.blogspot.com/2010/10/operation-z.html. I am willing to give you a few tips. Love Robblogger.

Sue Wilkey said...

Dear Rob,

I would rather be pleasuring myself with an angry hermit crab than visit your blog.

XOXO,
Sue

I Am Boymom said...

Okay, who are the marketing geniuses at StayFree who thought this was a good idea and do they still have jobs? Cause if they do? They need to be fired. That was seriously the most icky thing I have ever watched! The guy just killed any hopes he had of having a real acting career. How'd you like to show that to your kids someday? "Look kids! This is a video of Daddy back when he thought he was going to be someone famous! Don't know why, but my career really took a dive after this gig with Stayfree. Must have been the bad economy."

Bad Christy said...

It could be a raisin but I think he was just spotting. List of things I never want to hear a guy say to me:

"If I could go through this every month instead of you, I would."

"It's moist in here."

"My mother wanted me to keep them up."

and the #1 thing I NEVER want a guy to do is TOUCH MY PADS!

Anonymous said...

I got to the point where he sat at the piano, at which stage I had the urge to stab the douche in the neck with a #2 lead pencil....

A bro should not know this much about maxi-pads, he has officially had his man card REVOKED!
