Tom's of Maine Goodness Philosophy

[mumbleye]

toms DID make good toothpaste until they sold out to colgate. they have since changed the formula to taste like a cross between fermented bull semen and the scat of a malaysian hooker. i no longer brush my teeth

[danielinraleigh]

Okay, screw it! I'm voting Republican.

[tropicbase4321]

What is there to say really... but, HONEST GOODNESS!! lol This ad is awful, repetitious, Self-Righteous, and makes me want to club small animals.

[evergreenpie]

Uhm... Did you guys just rip off Hans Zimmer's music here? It's like you took "The Journey Begins" from Millennium - Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World and reworked it. Really, I hope Mr Zimmer either wrote this or signed off on it, because this is clearly copyright infringement if not.

[thegreatmathsdebate]

I'm going to rape your toothpaste

[ziggytrix]

@1:53 - Makes ya wonder what horrible thing they did. Really, REALLY bad scripting.

[Fleishman322]

this entire commercial was compiled from excerpts of "atlas shrugged"

[raz1791]

i just really like the epic music in the background! will someone please help find out what that theme is called so i can find it! ^_^

[TheJamesWhitely]

Holy Christ this is awful. I'd rather brush my teeth with tar then this shit after watching this.

[dadoody]

These products are powered by their sense of self-satisfaction. My toothpaste saved a baby seal from getting clubbed.

[Nyoggzathulhu]

What a piece of self-indulgent crao.

[zfitter]

Kill it! Kill it! Oh God! Kill it!

[acermcspacer]

Shya, I agree. I agree...

[Shyaporn]

This commercial is awful. I am a dyed in the wool liberal/progressive, but this thing makes me want to punch baby seals and then eat them cooked in cheese made from their mothers' milk.

You can HEAR the sound of people registering for the Republican party as this commercial is playing. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE NORTHEASTERNERS!

@Shyaporn

This is the funniest thing I have ever read. 

[TheShoStyle]

Perfect commercial!!

[kevluv93]

Just solely on the reason that "Tom of Maine's" main advertising point is on ethics and socialism I refuse to buy the toothpaste. One should base their product on quality, not because if I buy their toothpaste they'll give money to some poor ppl I don't know.

[TheShoStyle]

@kevluv93, would you rather buy toothpaste from a corporation that uses the excess funds for new company cars and fringe benefits or a corporation that does the same exact thing but does it in an apparently ecologically sound manner? 

[i80]

Veridian Dynamics. Seriously. This doesn't sound like a genuine statement of "goodness" so much as a parody of corporate feel-good ads full of overly dramatic music, stock footage and the repetition of vague statements. WHOLESOME GOODNESS. ENVIRONMENTAL GOODNESS. HONEST GOODNESS.

The truth is, of course, that Tom's of Maine is utterly, epically corporate. Bought by Colgate-Palmolive in 2006, it's not the small time "goodness" company it once was, but a giant, corporate entity.

[musicynic]

This music in this commercial is so closely drawn from existing pieces of music that it should be considered copyright infringement. The music is "The Journey Begins" and "Millenium Theme", both by Hanz Zimmer.

[harrysmyhomeboy]

Veridian Dynamics: We'll hunt you down.

[tcrosby26]

k, idk if they were trying to do this, but im pretty sure the mountain at 0:08 is Rundell in banff, alberta....not in maine....

[saidigo]

omg i saw this ad on Hulu and first thing i thought was Veridian Dynamics!!!!! hahahaha this ad is ridiculous. Even the music so freaking dramatic. hahaha.

At the recommendation of my dentist, I've been using your Maximum Strength Sensitivity Toothpaste for a couple of months now, and it works great! Brushing my teeth used to be a painful experience, but not anymore. Plus, it has a nice, fresh taste to it.

[nirvgardengod]

i think your whitening toothpaste works better than most others,,and it smells great. also it doesnt burn like others with all their chemicals
