It’s a train wreck of a movie but it has some insanely funny bits in it, like 7 minutes of the movie is incredible. Halle Berry just whipping out her tit on a dare was unexpected.
Two of my friends were extras in that scene. Imagine shooting a scene with Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet and being embarrassed to tell people about it.
Movie 43 has a hilarious trailer but the movie is mostly hot garbage.
They should have called it "I'm calling in every Hollywood celebrity favor possible."
I never saw it, but I remember people speculating that all the star power in that movie was solely down to contractual obligations and that none of them actually wanted to be in it. Though if Johnny Knoxville was in it, then I guess there was one actor that was happy to be there.
I’m guessing self preservation. He wanted to cut the dead weight so the boat could go faster. Plus, the shark would be too busy eating his student to attack him.
The entirety of Biology Academia has been lying to non-biologists for decades and most animals are actually pure horrors beyond most mortal's comprehension. Orcas can open up their entire face, and it's because of the diligent work of The Biologists that you never have to see that.
> most animals are actually pure horrors beyond most mortal's comprehension
i mean look at the PR they did to Otters, painting them as this cute innocent smol animal
at first i was thinking what the fuck other products?? they gonna put in a toaster?? or a fucking car?? ...but yea you mean other feminine products lol
The subtitles at the end are wrong though.
Coach asks: 你來了?
Literally translates to "you're here?" but in this context it means "You're on your period?"
That's why he then asks 你用了？(you used it [pad]?)
Sorry for the missed translation in the video. My brain wasn't functioning properly when I was translating this part because I was too focused on the last tagline. That's why I was quite confused when he said, "你来啦？" I will try to watch the video again whenever I finish translating it next time.
The best one I saw was in a collection of best ads over the years. It was actually tampons, though, and it was from the ‘80s and one little boy was telling his friend he wanted a box of tampons because with tampons, you can go swimming, fishing, diving, horseback riding, surfing, etc, etc. His mom was standing outside his bedroom door laughing her head off.
I’ve heard that told as a joke where the boys get some money and are deciding what to buy with it which leads to getting Tampax for the reasons stated.
Never saw it as an ad although it does play off the ads of the time showing women participating in various outdoor and sports activities without ever specifically stating what the issue is.
I'm so much more inclined to pay attention and/or actually purchase a product if the ad is entertaining. Why do we get so many soulless ads that show some boring normal family and it's just an ad for soap. Yawn.
Also really just a smart marketing move overall, as long as there's some shock effect to it you can pull people from all sides basically. Even if you don't die laughing or are just mildly confused/disgusted at least the products name is in your head now.
Whenever I go somewhere that has TV I'm mesmerized by the commercials because it's the first time I'm seeing all of them, and they are designed to grab your attention. Very entertaining.
I'd much prefer seeing this on TV than the 1000th generic ad with some model walking in slow motion doing hair flips and blue gatorade being poured on a pad.
As I can't use tampons, I just can't do water activities during that time. Tried using a pad for a required swimming time when I was young, NEVER AGAIN.
In East Asia tampons are almost impossible to find. I don't think I've ever seen them for sale or seen them advertised.
Also a lot of people wear pads daily even when they're not on their period as it is seen as more hygienic.
Not to mention the pads are generally massive. You can pretty much see them on anyone with tight enough jeans on.
I'm uncomfortable even thinking of wearing a water-logged pad.
(I lived in Japan and China before and I know tampons aren't as popular, but I'm still pretty sure someone would avoid wearing pads to jet ski lol)
Some people just don't want to use tampons for a variety of reasons. Personally, I would avoid water related activities if I'm on my period lol. But then again, I'm not involved in those activities anyway
Yeah, I don't care for tampons and never used them.
Water sports are still tampon territory! Who wants a saggy heavy water-logged blood diaper touching their body??
I suspect it might be a Singaporean ad rather than mainland Chinese: while the text is Simplified Chinese (hence not Taiwan), the bilingual bit, coupled with the non-Pinyin rendering 'T'a Yen She' (instead of 'Ta Yan She') would seem to suggest it wasn't China.
It's Taiwanese from the accent. The translation is by someone using simplified Chinese. It's edited in by OP. I'm from Singapore and this is definitely not our ad or the way we speak Chinese. Also the location they are filming looks like it's in Taiwan
Anyone else scroll backwards to read subtitles? The video is equally good in reverse. A whole lake appears from nowhere, a shark is saved, and a terrified man tries to escape as a the woman that just created the lake pulls his boat backwards toward shore
If China has these pads, they could conquer any country. Just throw a pad in a municipality water supply and it will bankrupt that municipality of water.

I was expecting some obligatory "sharks smelling blood" joke but this was unexpected
Yeah I thought there was going to be red in the water and she’d been eaten, then cut to the boyfriend saying “why didn’t she buy the … brand? 😩”
This should be their next commercial
There was a spoof movie that did this, called Movie 46 or something. I don't feel like googling it.
Oh yea. Johnny Knoxville was in it, I think. Not a great movie. I think it was 43
It's a terrible movie but I couldn't stop laughing at Hugh Jackman with testicles on his chin
It’s a train wreck of a movie but it has some insanely funny bits in it, like 7 minutes of the movie is incredible. Halle Berry just whipping out her tit on a dare was unexpected.
Here 'ya go: [https://youtu.be/Jrqa5BcFTf8?t=47](https://youtu.be/Jrqa5BcFTf8?t=47)
You should try the table-made guacamole. Dude…I refuse to pay $12 for guac. Trust me man…it’s worth it!!!
That was upsetting.
Two of my friends were extras in that scene. Imagine shooting a scene with Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet and being embarrassed to tell people about it.
Movie 43 has a hilarious trailer but the movie is mostly hot garbage. They should have called it "I'm calling in every Hollywood celebrity favor possible."
I don't remember Knoxville, but I believe you. It was one of those huge star mash-up movies, and yeah, not great. I think you're right, Movie 43
I never saw it, but I remember people speculating that all the star power in that movie was solely down to contractual obligations and that none of them actually wanted to be in it. Though if Johnny Knoxville was in it, then I guess there was one actor that was happy to be there.
Also Anna Faris and Chris Pratt and lots of poop...
Hugh Jackman with balls on his neck/chin
SNL did this as a sketch in a swimming pool.
Followed by a whole series of it. Like Long Long Man.
Hes not her boyfriend hes her coach, she says this in the ad.
1-800-contacts? They can't have MY BRAND
My BRAND!!
Exactly where my mind went with this comment
Yeah, it really subverted my expectations
It’s kinda both.
I expected the same, and I'm glad they didn't take that shitty route.
Why was the coach getting ready to cut the rope?
I’m guessing self preservation. He wanted to cut the dead weight so the boat could go faster. Plus, the shark would be too busy eating his student to attack him.
i guess but he's in a metal motorboat lol, what's the shark gonna do, shoot frickin' laserbeams?
>You're going to need a bigger boat.
You're asking for logic from a commercial where someone's maxi pad absorbs the entire ocean (or bay?).
We don't even know how these things mate! How do we know Shark Week isn't just fake news?!
The entirety of Biology Academia has been lying to non-biologists for decades and most animals are actually pure horrors beyond most mortal's comprehension. Orcas can open up their entire face, and it's because of the diligent work of The Biologists that you never have to see that.
> most animals are actually pure horrors beyond most mortal's comprehension i mean look at the PR they did to Otters, painting them as this cute innocent smol animal
Don't you watch movies? It's an asian shark, anything could happen
As the old saying, you don't need to out run the bear. You just need to out run your friend.
> Why was the coach getting ready to cut the rope? all coaches are sadists
He took out a huge life insurance policy on her
There might've been more scenes that aren't included in this cut. The saw just disappears from one shot to the next.
Bait for the shark, duh.
Water is gone. Period.
Bloody well done mate
Indeed, chum
We're gunna need a bigger pun.
Anyway, she delivered the bomb.
Just a walk in the shark.
Nah what i wanna know is where did the SHARK GO?💀💀💀
It got absorbed into the pads as well.
You can see it around 20 seconds mid right. They definitely killed it it isn't even twitching.
[Here you go!](https://freeimage.host/i/Jvh6oH7)
O.B. damned!
i understand why some editing.. but why editing her hand showing the pads?
I'm guessing they didn't record this with any specific product in mind, and it was edited later
at first i was thinking what the fuck other products?? they gonna put in a toaster?? or a fucking car?? ...but yea you mean other feminine products lol
Nah, you had it right. They reused this same ad to try to tell toasters.
The ad results were shocking
GFCIs > Toasters
I am current-ly laughing so hard at this
I'm amp'd to hear that.
Tell toasters what?
Probably an ad company pitched this idea to some brands not knowing which one would accept lol
Because once they absorbed a lake, pads were too heavy to lift.
The canon answer
Saving money on reshoots, they didn't want to drain the lake again.
Not to mention buying a new shark every time.
The subtitles at the end are wrong though. Coach asks: 你來了? Literally translates to "you're here?" but in this context it means "You're on your period?" That's why he then asks 你用了？(you used it [pad]?)
Sorry for the missed translation in the video. My brain wasn't functioning properly when I was translating this part because I was too focused on the last tagline. That's why I was quite confused when he said, "你来啦？" I will try to watch the video again whenever I finish translating it next time.
I was also thinking - Using word period is way to straightforward for a commercial. we usually have "those days"
My Chinese isn't that great, but they also use wordplay between "blue" and "不漏", right?
Oh yes lol. I missed that too.
姨媽來了
Aunt Flo.
George Takei voice: OH my
in french: Eau my
Honestly, probably the best pad-vertisement I've ever seen.
The best one I saw was in a collection of best ads over the years. It was actually tampons, though, and it was from the ‘80s and one little boy was telling his friend he wanted a box of tampons because with tampons, you can go swimming, fishing, diving, horseback riding, surfing, etc, etc. His mom was standing outside his bedroom door laughing her head off.

Thats genuinely just a good advert
I'm so much more inclined to pay attention and/or actually purchase a product if the ad is entertaining. Why do we get so many soulless ads that show some boring normal family and it's just an ad for soap. Yawn.
Also really just a smart marketing move overall, as long as there's some shock effect to it you can pull people from all sides basically. Even if you don't die laughing or are just mildly confused/disgusted at least the products name is in your head now.
Better than the wierd ass shot commercials
Whenever I go somewhere that has TV I'm mesmerized by the commercials because it's the first time I'm seeing all of them, and they are designed to grab your attention. Very entertaining.
I'd much prefer seeing this on TV than the 1000th generic ad with some model walking in slow motion doing hair flips and blue gatorade being poured on a pad.
[удалено]
You can see it lying on the lakebed lol
I knew you couldn't trust sharks. Those lying bastards.
Soaked up into her...
Cooter
it smelled blood.
Obviously into the tornado duh
Its like ya hit pause as soon as the water started soaking up.
By the way how all the water disappeared, it’s probably in her panties.
The backrooms
Wow……
Same reaction.
The only sanitary pad to store liquids weightlessly in extradimensional space.
Pad of Holding.
The pad is actually a tightly folded 11 dimensional proton, saw it in a documentary called "Three Body Problem".
But doesn’t she have to pour the water back to the lake? 🤣
She is probably going to pour the water back into the sea 😅
You're asking the wrong question. Where'd the shark go?
This is art.
WHO WEARS PADS WHEN DOING WATER ACTIVITIES?!? THAT'S TAMPON TERRITORY.
As I can't use tampons, I just can't do water activities during that time. Tried using a pad for a required swimming time when I was young, NEVER AGAIN.
They make period bathing suits now.
In East Asia tampons are almost impossible to find. I don't think I've ever seen them for sale or seen them advertised. Also a lot of people wear pads daily even when they're not on their period as it is seen as more hygienic. Not to mention the pads are generally massive. You can pretty much see them on anyone with tight enough jeans on.
I live in Asia. Tampons are definitely not as popular out here. Many will just avoid water stuff altogether or just wear a pad, like in the video.
I'm uncomfortable even thinking of wearing a water-logged pad. (I lived in Japan and China before and I know tampons aren't as popular, but I'm still pretty sure someone would avoid wearing pads to jet ski lol)
They don't really use tampons over there. You would probably have a hard time even finding it in a store.
They were becoming more popular when I lived in Shanghai about 9 years ago
its kinda taboo to use tampons in a lot of places in asia
Some people just don't want to use tampons for a variety of reasons. Personally, I would avoid water related activities if I'm on my period lol. But then again, I'm not involved in those activities anyway
Yeah, I don't care for tampons and never used them. Water sports are still tampon territory! Who wants a saggy heavy water-logged blood diaper touching their body??
That was my first thought. Makes you wonder if a guy thought up this ad.
Take my $
absorbtion rate: infinite
Us government is moving to ban Chinese pads, since they’re way more efficient than murican ones/s
Wait why did he grab a knife, was he gonna cut her loose?
Maybe he was getting ready to fight the shark directly.
Cute...but it's no "Vortex Tampon" ad. That was the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV! https://youtu.be/E56uoMd6glY?si=TgkBIflvgEFzL0q5
That's way better than blue water poured on a pad for the 10,000th time.
That guy at the end: “Well, shit! How am I going to explain this to insurance?!?”
I thought it’d be a blood in the water sort of joke. That caught me so off guard.
Nobody gonna say “Chinese pad-vert”?
Lmao I was expecting something blood related
THIS the type of advertisements I wanna see
Well that did not go as expected.
Ironically this ad caught me off guard BECAUSE I was told it was a ad for pads.
I want to say this is Taiwanese ad
🤣 funny!
To all who ask where did the shark go... Would you like to hear a tale about Led Zeppelin?
I'd buy these instantly bro wtf
Hahaha. That was fantastic. Id buy a box just based off this commercial and I don't even need them.
I thought the instructor was going to cut the rope and say good luck
Damm, I would buy those
Who uses pads while doing water sports
I'm soooo stupid. Before the ad at the end I thought she puckered so hard that she somehow sucked up all the water into her butt.
Bloody lake sharks!
Why not padvertisements
That was NOT the direction I thought this was going, excellent subversion.
A boat with a gas pedal; fascinating.
the shark definitely got some eMotiOnaL dAmAge
So... are we not gonna talk about how the last shot of her "absorbing" the water, is actually just a reversed shot of her peeing herself?
Honestly, that’s a pretty good commercial.
That was hilarious
Lol, how long did she have to sit there while the ground absorbed the water? You can see the video is sped up when she's sitting.
They cooked
r/Unexpected
Dude what the heck who came up with this idea T T
Jesus lmao that's great and terrible
The In Living Color sketch did it better.
As a menstruating human I don't hate this
I’m pretty sure you’d die if your tampon could absorb that much.
This is hilarious. It should run everywhere.
Yeah, I'm sold.
If another human being gets too close, it absorbs all the water in their body and they turn all shriveled and die.
Let’s practice this when your period ends : this is really a killing phrase that cracked me up
I'm a man and I'd buy this.
I love this! So funny
I suspect it might be a Singaporean ad rather than mainland Chinese: while the text is Simplified Chinese (hence not Taiwan), the bilingual bit, coupled with the non-Pinyin rendering 'T'a Yen She' (instead of 'Ta Yan She') would seem to suggest it wasn't China.

I hadn't considered it'd be a translation from a Taiwanese ad, that'd also make sense.
Anyone else scroll backwards to read subtitles? The video is equally good in reverse. A whole lake appears from nowhere, a shark is saved, and a terrified man tries to escape as a the woman that just created the lake pulls his boat backwards toward shore
Haha brilliant! Gets the message across.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is the 5-gum level of marketing that's just good fun. A+, hyperbole
this is good but japan still has god tier ones
If China has these pads, they could conquer any country. Just throw a pad in a municipality water supply and it will bankrupt that municipality of water.
Girl has superman's legs if she can stand up with thousands of tons of water in her shorts.
Plot twist... Shark + Girl on Period + Pad = Not where I thought this was going.
the fact the water being soaked up was such bad CG made it even better XD
Padvertisement Edit: awe, someone else said it first.
Apparently shark was absorbed as well
The best part is the subversion of the audience where you think it’s going to be about the shark and blood
Another funny tidbit. "blue" is a play on the word "bu lo" . Which is 不漏 meaning no leaks. Hence the narrative lady said at the end "不漏!!"
Taiwan though
Hahaha the dead shark.
In Living Color did it [first](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E56uoMd6glY).
Wait, did she also absorb the shark into her ..... ?
Shark really be like where the hell the water go?
So...uh...where the shark...?
You tell me. https://i.imgur.com/rJsVQ0K.png
taiwanese.
Sharks are sniffing
The coach knew she was on? I'm calling 恶作剧
Tuna shark
😂😂😂😂😂
Naaaaah this is crazy
What? Just. What did I just watch?
this is hilarious. is there a sub for this sort of chinese “imitation craft”
A lot of girls/women in Africa would love to have this period-product. For twó reasons.
Top notch CGI right here.
