That Creepy Swimming-Babies Evian Commercial . . .

Cafe Society

It gets more and more disturbing each time I see it . . .

• This is how Evian purports to “make you feel?” Like a drowning infant?

• Or are they implying that Evian contains tiny little babies? All naked and none of them yet potty-trained?

• The fact that the background song is “Bye-Bye Baby” just makes it even darker . . .

I still haven’t recovered from the shock of Snuggle Bear finally revealing his long-suspected Dark Side, and now this: creepy little Busby Berkeley infants swimming around in pools of Evian!

I think it’s the kinder, gentler, Swiss take on the Nirvana “Nevermind” album cover. I do like the idea that Evian contains babies.
That Snuggle Bear is like the plush version of the clown from Poltergeist.

3

So exactly how much of Evian’s flavor is derived from baby piss?

4

Their new product will be called Ssipybab. :wink:

(If you don’t get that one, you’re quite naïve… hehehehe)

If anybody has ever heard the term “water babies”, it makes this commercial infinitely more disgusting.:eek:

6

Ooh. What’s a water baby?

Anyway I think it’s kind of cute/creepy…But I like that mix. And I adore creepy things. Plus the music is pretty fun, gives it that retro feel. And I love the idea of drinking little babies, but I can be a real sadist sometimes.

7

Oh, jeez—two or three days after drinking a bottle of Evian, you look into the toilet, and . . .

8

That commercial completely freaks me out. It’s not just all the babies, but seeing them doing that synchronized swimming thing is just so disturbing.

9

I generally don’t like commercials with CGI-animated infants. Those ones with the little boy talking about insurance with his parents (you know, the look who’s talking rip-offs) are just freaky.

10

…your urine has changed to a pleasing shade of pink?

11

I made a comment on that the other day about the sanitary nature of naked babies swimming in my drinking water. I got a speech from my sweetie about how “pure” babies are. Sheesh. I’m glad somebody out there shares my views!

12

Looking quickly across the net, I think it’s a baby born when the mother is in water.

13

Me and the wife both like that commercial. But we have a real cute 9 mo. old right now, so he looks alot like most of those little guys and it makes us think of him, so we are biased.

(don’t know how to link a picture, sorry!)

14

I thought water babies was a brand of sunscreen?

15

It’s a book by Charles Kingsley.

16

The book is freaky too.

17

Water, obviously, just gets endlessly re-cycled anyway. I did read something a while ago about the average glass of water in London having been through seven people before it gets to me.

I sometimes wish it could be traced: ‘First pisser; Ivarr the Boneless, second; Mary Queen of Scots…’
Have a cheerful day !

“I got a speech from my sweetie about how ‘pure’ babies are.”

—Ha! Wait’ll she’s changed a few diapers . . . Then let’s see how much baby-infested Evian she wants to drink!

19

I apologize in advance for this, but when I was much younger a friend’s older brother told us that when a man, ahem, does (shoots) something into a toilet it is called water babies.

That commercial instantly brought back that childhood memory. As if someone had brought a microscope into the bathroom.

I know, I know, my girlfriend smacked me too. Mooch is so gross!

Dammit, Eve! You beat me to it. Babies certainly do emit large quantities of disgusting effluvia, don’t they?
