Does every Pepto Bismol commercial have to be disgusting?

….and I don’t mean “disgusting” in a Tyra Banks “you look so fashionable” way. Take the new Pepto ad, below, which is based around the concept of farting in someone’s face. There are a lot of ways to illustrate how bad it is to have gas, like illustrating the searing gas pain the flatulence sufferer must endure, but the guys at Pepto went for the tried and true face fart joke. Dudes, Chaucer totally did it first.

Ad of the Week: The gross Pepto Bismol dance

Another commercial from the TMI file, this is the original Pepto Bismol song and dance commercial. And by dance, I mean the dancers mime various digestive problems. It’s bizarre and disturbing, but now that Pepto has moved on to other advertising tactics, I kind of miss the dancing spots. Strange how that happens.
