# Balloon Prank Contraception Adverts The Latest Durex Condom Commercial Features Pranking Boys By Ariel Weber | Published 2012-11-19 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-condom-commercial References: [adverblog](http://www.adverblog.com/2012/11/19/durex-the-water-balloon/) & [golem13.fr](http://golem13.fr/durex-bombes-a-eau/) The Durex Condom commercial leaves behind its normal raunchy and sexy adverts for something more humorous and young spirited. Set up as a bit featuring two boys pranking innocent passerbys as they throw waterballoons from high above, the aim of the advert is to demonstrate how durable the latex condom really is. After they use up all of their own supply of balloons, they go into their older brothers room to find a supplement. The balloon replacements are condoms, which is filled with water and then released on a woman on her cellphone. To both of their surprises, the balloon does not pop but rather bounces off the woman's head and onto the floor. This comical Durex condom commercial is a great way to not only show how durable the contraceptive is but also how reassuring it can be to know its effectiveness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Humorous Condom Adverts:** Opportunity for companies to create funny and lighthearted advertisements for contraceptive products. - **Youth-centric Marketing:** Potential for businesses to target a younger audience through playful and relatable advertising campaigns. - **Demonstrating Product Durability:** Companies can showcase the resilience and effectiveness of their products through creative and unexpected means. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Contraceptive Products:** Innovative marketing strategies can disrupt the industry by changing the perception of contraception from a serious topic to a more approachable and engaging one. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunities for agencies to create unconventional and humorous campaigns that resonate with younger demographics. - **Entertainment and Media:** The use of humor in advertisements can create memorable experiences for viewers, leading to viral content and increased brand awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fictional AI-Powered Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manforce-condoms.md) - [Autocorrect Sexual Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrm-ny.md) - [Valentine's Day Prophylactic Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-afterglow-campaign.md) - [Revolutionary Material Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-intensity.md) - [Creative Protection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyn-supreme-feel-condoms.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Vegetable-Themed Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rise-of-horticulture.md) - [Humorous Period Care Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/period-underwear-1.md) - [Barely-There Contraception Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojan-bareskin-raw.md)
