Viagra Sailing Commercial

I think he just popped a little blue one and he had a promise waiting for him. I think he was hoping for one of those famous 4 hour episodes.

If you watch carefully at the end of the commercial, you can see a tow rope coming off of the bow.

you can also see a wake of another boat off his port. maybe his jib was back winded because he was planning a hove too, with his honey down below. who hasnt done that!

I just pointed out the back winded jib to my girlfriend on Sunday. We had a good chuckle.

Well, Viagra is like motoring with your jib backwinded.

I like the "Smiling Bob" commercials better.

I've been wondering where the prudent sailor would keep his viagra, in the first aid kit or the tool box?

Deadhead · Dec 8, 2011

For some, sailing in 25+ kts. is its own kind of viagra. Only better because you don't need to call a doctor after 4 hours. And in my case she likes it too!

Merlin, it depends on how old you are.

LOL! Too funny Eddie!
I'd probably forget where I left them.

Isn't that the only Viagra commercial where there's no "honey" in the hot tub? The guy just goes into an empty house.

Typical stuff we sailors have to put up with...

soling42 · Dec 12, 2011

Empty house maybe for a night or two, but only sailors get the worldwide reputation of having one in every port.....

Now that's a reputation where you keep track of your passport and tackle box of little blue mermaid lures.

There's a song that wonders "how can a sailor have a girl in every port?". The song goes on to explain that it's because "every girl has a sailor on every boat".

"at the end of the commercial, you can see a tow rope coming off of the bow." "I just pointed out the back winded jib to my girlfriend"

So the ad is really saying(cue up Barry White music):

"If your girlfriend is telling you that your jib needs some attention(or you're grasping your main sheet like a self tailer) and you feel like it takes a tow boat to get your sails full then you can count on us to be your Sea Tow (anyone who experiences a tow longer than 4hrs should seek a safe port immediately)"

The backwinded jib/tow rope scene is at :39 in the above ad link. The whole premise of being alone, on the slowest craft known to man, with your Viagra pill just seems wrong. I know my focus would be on finding the nearest mermaid ASAP. Why are these new ads based on men who are alone? Egads, maybe it's scorned snickering female ad execs venting their frustration.

Isn't it true "That only sailors get blown offshore"?

Merlin Clark · Dec 16, 2011

I just giggle thinking the next time he has "issues" in the bedroom he is going to instinctively reach for the belt off of a PFD...[/quote]

Too funny Phil!
