Interspecies Romance/Advertising

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Spuds McKenzie: what a playah! What a dog playah! What a dog playah with human girlfriends...er...right.
  • The "twist ending" to a recent AirWick air-freshener commercial is that the talking elephant housewife's husband is a many-stinky-shoed centipede. In fact, many of that ad campaigns pairings are interspecies romances. Same-species romances are the minority.
    • If you are asking, the other ones are chimpanzee-skunk, giraffe-boar and penguin-bear. The last one's sons are pigs.
  • Fruit By The Foot has a commercial with a female lizard getting attracted to a young human male after mistaking the long strip of gum stretching from his mouth for a prehensile tongue.
  • Pretty much all of the Orangina ads, but especially the big musical number with the bear and the deer.
  • There's a commercial for a Dora the Explorer mermaid Dora toy, which shows a mermaid girl whose mother is a human and father is a giant fish.
  • Exactly what Jack Box is - the mascot for the restaurant chain Jack-in-the-Box, he's a guy whose head looks like that of a toy jack-in-the box - is hard to say, but his wife is human. One commercial shows that his parents are similar, his dad being like him and his mother fully human.
