Risky Commercials from Red Bull

Has anyone seen the latest Red Bull commercials? Gone are the days of PG-rate cartoon figures growing wings for menial work like running and rowing. Red Bull is adding revenge and sexual prowess to the suggested advantages of drinking the caffeine-laden drink. I wonder if the FDA will go after them like they did to the makers of the energy drink ‘Cocaine’.

I am not sure if these commercials have existed for a while and are only making their way into Canada now. Check them out!

Another sexually oriented Red Bull commercial can be found here.

A third commercial is about revenge. I couldn’t find a YouTube video of this commercial, but you can view it at the Red Bull website ads page (here). The commercial is called ‘Shit Happens”.

  1. This commercial has been playing in the US for a while now and I can’t stand it! It is so ridiculous that society is so perverted that they have to make sexual references using dogs to show boobs and male genitalia.

  2. Grow up, it is 2008 people, its a friggin commercial for an energy drink. Why do people feel the need to find and nit pick over a 15 second commercial? Shut off the TV if you don’t like what your seeing. Go back to knitting your scarfs!!!

  3. agreed, just shut up!!

  4. (edited) JUST SHUT UP AND DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!!

  5. I agree

  6. The latest Red Bull commercial that I am DISGUSTED with is where a little boy gets to go to the Gentleman’s Club and is last seen staring happily at a stripper.. you only see the stripper’s legs and it implied to me that she was topless. I can’t believe this! If the gender roles were reversed everyone would be outraged at a little girl staring up at an adult male who was barely wearing anything. What makes the opposite okay?? Ugh!
