The Curious Case Of The Viagra Commercial That Might Make You Cry
There's a new Viagra commercial that seems to be inspired by Benjamin Button, and also it's really sad about life. SOME THINGS LAST (FOUR TO SIX HOURS).:
This is the saddest Viagra commercial ever. (Worse than "Viva Viagra.") Thank god the tagline "Like the first time." brought some much-needed comic relief. But still: :(.

If that commercial had lasted a few seconds longer it would have been a crime.
Score = 10
That's exactly what I was thinking...."how much younger will they go?!"
Score = 1
Hahaha. Maybe the director's cut includes "playing doctor."
Score = 1
i think that's aready a crime in some states...
Score = 0
If by the "first time" they mean "over before it began (not insight into my personal life)," then they may want to rethink that tagline.
Score = 4
any idea about the song playing? i did it.
Score = 1
dig* darn
Score = -1
I just threw up in my mouth. Not just a little bit, but a lot.
Score = -1
I don't know, but once the tambourine comes in that song turns really good.
Score = 0
They could have kept aging back a few more years, until they became that 13 year old Brittish kid who just had a baby...and instead of being a viagra commercial it would have been a condom commercial.
Score = 3
*Crying*
Score = -1
Obsessive Googling yields unsatisfactory results about the music in the commercial:
1. The song was recorded exclusively for the commercial by Catatonia and is called "What I Feel"
2. OR the song was recorded exclusively for the commercial by a singer named Russian Red
The singer in the commercial sounds like both of those people, but I'm leaning towards Russian Red.
