Not only does it have that twist at the end...the look and style and all out creation of it is what astounds me. This is perhaps one of the top 10 commercials I have ever seen.

This is an old joke that my grandfather once told me. An advertising agency decided to "borrow" it for Levis. Then they asked Gondry to shoot the script. I'm sure Gondry had a lot of input on the style and shotlist, he's amazing.

Usually a bunch of directors write treatments for the ad, and the company chooses the one they like the best. So Gondry probably wrote it, after being given a couple parameters like the tag line at the end or their slogan or whatever.

@sailawaybobby Quoting wikipedia: "Latex, rubber suspended in water, was invented in 1920. Latex condoms required less labor to produce than cement-dipped rubber condoms, which had to be smoothed by rubbing and trimming. (...) Latex condoms also performed better for the consumer: they were stronger and thinner than rubber condoms, and had a shelf life of five years (compared to three months for rubber)"

Bravo! I figured it must have won Clios, Cannes fest, etc. I think some commercials should be considered "short films"and shown at regular film festivals. For them to only have a brief run on TV and not make it further than the small computer screen seems a shame. If you like this TV spot, check out some of the other great commercials posted on this site.
