Awkward Announcement Videos

Crest Commercials Show You Can Say Anything With a Smile

Saatchi & Saatchi have created a new line of commercials for Crest that are sure to put a smile on your face.

The smile commercials by Saatchi & Saatchi show three men in three different awkward situations. While telling your girlfriend you gave her lice, telling your fiancee you want a prenup, and telling kids you’re going to tear down their park is usually awkward, it isn’t if you have a Crest white smile.

The Crest videos are a great commercial for white teeth, though I do hope people in these situations don’t actually think they’ll get off as easy as the men in these videos.
