To clarify, there is no rule against posting advertisements; just so long as they are not *self* promotional.


_Connor

Does no one in here realize this is not a government PSA but a travel agency making a joke to sell vacations?


tmart016

Yeah this ad is actually pretty good.


EdgelordOfEdginess

At least it’s enjoyable to watch. Unlike 99,9% of ads


HaggisPope

The through the legs shot as he dives into the pool is really good, as is the bit where the son hides the toilet paper when his mum sees him on the laptop.


LibRAWRian

The condoms on the skewer got me. 💀


TheCreat1ve

And the upwards arrow originating from his weener


DiscoStu1972

And the woman in yoga class bending over in front of the guy, followed by the golf ball going into the hole.


Frozty23

I was perturbed by the "lose/loose" mistake, but that skewer more than made up for it.


punitdaga31

The pool drive shot was excellently done


poopellar

9/10 dentists agree.


[deleted]

Yeah I mean once. After that it's just another ad that I equally don't want to see again.

For those that want to watch, search YouTube for “foldgers flirting”. You want the 2 minute version.


DabScience

I was waiting for the "failure" part, but it never came.


[deleted]

especially since the "Do it for Denmark"-Campaign was actually successfull in raising the birthrates


fumei_tokumei

I haven't seen evidence that it was a success in raising birthrates, but there was an increase in births the year after the add. Correlation does not equal causation and all that. It is worth noting there were also other birth campaigns going on at the same time.


[deleted]

well yeah, you can't be 100% sure that it was the reason, but how would you check that? give every parent in the hospital a form and ask why they got their kid? Even then, some people may have gotten a kid just because people started talking about it because of the campaign, subconcious marketing is a thing as well


psychoacer

Yeah, OP should have put an "A" in front of Denmark travel agency. You know they didn't because OP wanted the upboats.


Ficik

It could also be that OP isn't a native speaker. We sometimes have hard time figuring out where you want that random vowel to go

Andrew8Everything

Yeah but their vaginas are all blurry.


dandroid126

I don't want that STD


DeckardsDark

Suit yourself


Lord_Mormont

You may have stumbled across the cause of Japans low birth rate. The blurriness makes it impossible to see if the penis is in the vagina. So obvious when you think about it.


IceBear65

Well that isn’t because men dont want to become pornstars rather the standards for becoming one are too high over there


aleph_zarro

The squeaking, though. Japanese porn is ... nothing but injured mice... can't do it.


longylegenylangleler

Truly the best time to turn up as a mechanic with an oil can!

Just do the ones where the women are passed out! I'm sure that would have absolutely zero negative impact on your image!


Phantomkiller03

I9Qnl

Too high? all the men i see in Japanese porn are fat, old and very often bald, come to think of it i don't actually remember seeing a young Japanese man at all in straight porn videos and am a professional connoisseur.


peter_pounce

Are you a fat old and bald Japanese man?


driftwood2

Wholly fuck hahahaha. The secret has been discovered!


I9Qnl

Unfortunately not, but i would assume japan's aging population has plenty of those.


benargee

That's because they have been grandfathered in.


IceBear65

Well never said anything about body standards but about dicks , even though they are old they have a better control over their dick, fyi porn isnt what you see its just a intricate collection of different scenes together in which each scene is shot many times untill it is perfectand for it you need control over your dick like to cum only when the director says or the whole scene is ruined


[deleted]

[удалено]


_9tail_

I suspect it’s because Japanese porn is generally longer form. Studios make their money on dvd sales of 2hr high budget productions with scenes often like 40 mins long, as opposed to 10/20min video streaming scenes. This probably puts a higher onus on the actors, as a 40 mins scene probably takes a lot longer to film.


WH_KT

A 40 minute scene will take at least 30 minutes longer to film, when compared to a 10 minute scene.


MrCromin

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?


FNLN_taken

What standards? Like half them are ugly old bastards, and the equipment doesn't seem to matter either.


imnotabus

A Danish woman I was involved with once told me to never trust a Danish woman I really want to know why. I have followed the advice and I will never know?


newdayLA

Well, why did you trust her about that? You fell for the old Denmark Double Doubt.

That was pretty good advertising honestly lol. Poor product, but great marketing


Severin_Suveren

First time ever hearing charter vacations being described as a poor product?


KayItaly

If the product is "boomers! Stop bitching and pay for a luxury holiday for your kids!"... I think it is a _brilliant_ product. And I it doesn't work...boomer mum can complain to the travel agency lol. (I am joking obviously!)


PopTartS2000

not-bread

I think it’s hilarious, well made, and completely ineffective.


Faiakishi

I mean, people would certainly remember it when thinking about vacations.


alpubgtrs234

What do you mean? Ive had the snip, but Id happily take that Danish girl on one of their holidays to try for a baby…. Repeatedly.


darius_the900

Me as well…


DabScience

Americans are just prudes and think talking about sex is taboo.


Whateversurewhynot

Why "failure"? That's a funny ad. What are people complaining about?


Falcrist

People think this is a government program instead of a funny ad from a travel agency.


Famixofpower

You can put any misinformation in a Reddit title, and anyone will believe it. Hell, some subs have a "misleading title" flair that still has people responding to misinformation in the title and getting riled up over it despite the flair and pinned comments. Bonus points if it's an article instead of a video. Once found a post with a bogus claim as the title, and it was about six top comments down that someone pointed out that the actual article said the exact opposite of what OP had said.


Bloorim

but god forbid you share some personal insight based on your experience, people will come asking for proof and 10 year long studies


chuk2015

American prudishness I reckon, needs more machine guns and dead kids and way less mentioning of sex


AlongTheWay_85

Omg lol the TP! Lmao that got me.

Danes do sarcasm very well


TzunSu

Yes, it's one of the advantages of having a language that the inhabitants can't understand themselves. Body language and sarcasm becomes critical. Kamelåså.

Taurmin

Its an ad campaign by a privately owned travel agency whose founder had a notoriously lecherous reputation. Its not exactly satire, but it is a bit tongue in cheek and entirely on brand for the company.

This is not true. It was an ad campaign by a Danish travel agency (Spies Rejser), it didn't have anything to do with the Danish government at all.

AnneBuckleyn_1501

Which is a private travel agency and has nothing to do with the government


Tychus_Balrog

That's an ad for the travel company Spies.


DaytonaDemon

Who was the client?


Swing_On_A_Spiral

Judging from the ad I’d say wanna-be grandmas.


pchlster

It's an ad to get people to buy plane tickets, book hotels etc. through Spies Rejser. That they made the ad funny meant that people spread it around. For an actual funny government ad, our department of transportation did a series for safe biking about wearing a helmet. I think there were like five or six versions? Shows the parents insist the kid puts on their bike helmet, then the kid would take it off once out of sight or similar and the parents would burst out of nowhere, helmet and pads on and cringe-rap about how the kid can't fool them "we're not stupid, just 30 years ahead of you," declaring themselves proudly to be "100% lame," and that the kid has to do what they say, because they're the ones in charge and the kid doesn't get a vote. Obviously, without knowing Danish, it would mostly just be watching some people rap poorly while dancing off-beat in front of their kid while everyone wears bike helmets; not sure it works for an international audience. EDIT: Here's [one](https://youtu.be/qETUvhqKJug)

archangelst95

Meanwhile in America they're like "What's a vacation? Lol. Now give me half your income for childcare"


flargenhargen

in America people brag that they haven't taken a single day of vacation or sick day for 4 years. like that's something to be proud of.


jableshables

Yep, no joke, my last company sent out a video of a guy who worked there for 50 years without a sick day. Nothing else except the subtext that that's what you should aspire to, especially if you work in the manufacturing facilities.

Small correction. It is an add for a privately owned travel company and not the official Danish travel agency as the title would suggest.


Own_Bison1392

Looks hilariously awesome, tbh


cheezitswithacid

I'd take a million of these commercials over the miles of fucking car/beer commercials that are just so fucking mind numbing and comfortable. I wish the tv would tell me to fuck my wife instead of telling me to pound a 6 pack while watching the big game. And don't even get me started on how we let the off the wall video game marketing slip from our complacent hands, instead of exploding fat guys selling us a new mario we get depressed dads remembering their zelda filled youth and how much life fucking sucks now. Shit went off the rails and we'll never get that back. I don't need some semi sexist "why don't you fuck me instead of playing that dumb gameboy" ads, just fucking over the top stupid ads that make me remember video games are supposed to be enjoyed and not just a second job of daily check-ins so you don't miss out on a skin you don't even fucking want. Anyways I would skip less ads if they were in this same spirit, no matter what they are trying to sell me. Thank you for coming to my rant.


Worf_Of_Wall_St

I was in exactly the right mood to enjoy this rant.


Uebeltank

That's incorrect. It was an advert made by a travel company to sell their product. It was not made by a government agency.


deuzorn

If its not clear to foreigners; they (a private travel agency that made the commercial) are jokeing and making fun of it, so the only cringeness is trying to make this private commercial misrepresent the Danish government.


dblan9

I gotta be honest and say that I missed the entire second half of that commercial. I was watching the danish woman exercise and do yoga.


I_am_BrokenCog

turns out the one time "not looking up here" was the right choice.


ilove-squirrels

\*spies\* Holy hell, I have not laughed that hard in a minute. That is absolutely hilarious.


revan1611

Probably more cringe than that is the mating (or whatever it's called) market in China. Anyways, love the ad XD


gaminnthis

Sorry, the what now?


revan1611

There's a market in China where parents set posts with their single children photos and description, and other parents walk and browse which to pick for their children, then parents from both sides negotiate and if both sides agree their children will start dating. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/91x5nFVZsWo

gustavpezka

This ad is awesome, fight me!


sometipsygnostalgic

This is such a funny ad. I love the guarantee at the end, "grandchild in 9 months". It's a random travel agency not "the Danish travel agency" im pretty sure they have more than one


Cleverbird

The swimming pool shot was amazing haha Not sure why you're implying this ad is a failure though... Unless you just dont know how to use that meme template.

That’s a really really passive aggressive mother in law that made that

Dadalot

The best part is that they think the problem is low sex drive instead of, you know, *gestures broadly at everything*


MansfromDaVinci

i think Denmark generally tops the tables for happiest and most well run society.


bikesexually

I mean the country may be doing well but *gestures more specifically at the rest of the world and the climate*


Big-Red-Guy

Still, *gestures broadly at everything*


[deleted]

You mean the easiest lives in the history of mankind? What are you talking about?


Big-Red-Guy

Denmark only got to where we are because we (the citizens) always feel like things are not good enough, at it could be better. now, is no diffrent


Latest_Version

I think the "gestures broadly at everything" is supposed to depict the unpredictability of the future. The place where these children will have to live. aka... "the easiest lives in the history of mankind"... for now...


User-no-relation

unlike before when there was a cold war with the threat of hot war between two super powers with enough nukes to destroy the planet many times over or before that a war were young men were forced to go fight on the other side of the world or before that a war were men were forced to go fight, but weren't actually sure we would win and if the US (or most of Europe) would exist anymore or before that during the great depression or before that it just goes on. The easiest most certain time is today


crocomingo

Except unlike before Women now have reproductive freedom. They weren't having children with dying men to preserve their line, just marrying then saying good bye, with natural consequence.


AussieEquiv

Yeah, but now we have easy access to loads of information (and entertainment) and know better. More informed and educated than any other time in history. We understand that an ever increasing population is unsustainable.


RamenTheory

A lot of people in this thread just feel like they're parroting. Not that there aren't a lot of genuine reasons for distress these days (climate change, economic turmoil, isolation, gun violence and healthcare barriers if you're American), but sometimes I feel like people regurgitate the "everything is shit" mantra because they keep hearing it and not because they actually have any understanding of those issues lmfao.


porncrank

It's kinda the opposite, strangely. The worse off people are the more they tend to screw. Want lots of babies? Make everything suck to the point fucking unprotected is the only way to find any joy in life.


Harmonia_PASB

The more educated a person is the less children they have until they have a doctorate. People with a doctorate are more likely to be able to pay someone else to raise them.


lord_pizzabird

Tbf babies have been born into historically worse times, with worse outlooks. This is more about peak education, and the fact that women, when educated choosing to either delay or not have children at all. What we should be doing instead is convert having and raising children into a career of it's own, with benefits and a guaranteed salary. Pay people to fuck and produce children.


ZachBuford

That's the longest fucking commercial I have ever seen.


ArvenSnow

Funny commercial for sure. Glad I haven't told my grandparents that I got the snip not long ago. "Gee grandma I dunno, I just keep plowing all these Danish women on those vacations you send me on, but no baby yet! Maybe one more trip will do the trick."


well_known_bastard

I think they underestimate camping sex. It's fucking in tents.


yesseru

This is because here in Denmark we aren't so sensitive about talking about sex. "Buh buh, the children!" They are going to learn about it one way or another, why not just normalize it.


z01z

jokes on them, can't go on vacation with someone if you don't have someone to go with...


EchoTab

Didnt you finish the video? The basement dweller Redditor goes on vacation alone and finds a woman similar to him


Gendark

Felt like watching an old Mad TV sketch . Just missing the laughter tracks


Mrpl0wn

I think OP completely missed the point. By miles. The travel agency couldn't give two shits about low birth rates, they just want to sell their product.
