That was rather amusing!

So, is this commercial an allegory for farting for people who suffer lactose intolerance?

Moooore or less yes. Well, using probably the least gruesome of the impacts the LI has on a human body since the rest is just too messy for them to be then selling a product that you eat. Nothing turns someone off of eating a brand of ice cream like watching someone with severe LI vomit after eating any ice cream at all.

Will admit I do like the trolly expressions the trollcow has when she's playing with the balloon.

That's pretty bad if a disagreement your small intestine has with your food can send stuff back through your stomach :S

Oh yeah, well, in more severe cases, its not just the intestines that show the reaction. My aunt has a pretty extreme iteration of it.

That's probably an allergy to casein then, not underproduction of lactase (lactose intolerance).

that....makes a lot of sense. She still gets dizzy because of dairy free cheese too...... yeah I think you're right.

Probably, considering all the "rrrumblygrrumbly blarglbllblgurggleglrarlg" from the other one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw5qwgP1tZk

FWIW, everyone can experience lactose intolerance, as the amount of lactase the body produces a day is limited - and you get the symptoms when the amount of lactose (milk sugar) you ingest passes that. (the symptoms may be from a bacterial feeding frenzy on indigestible sugars, not sure)

Mare milk, for example, is way WAY higher lactose content than cows milk, and in cultures that actually milk horses, it's known as a laxative as a result. Also why the only known mare's milk drink, Kumis is fermented - to reduce the lactose in it. ....would be a pretty cruel joke to play on friends if you owned a dairy farm and had a few nursing horses around too. XD "here, have some ice cream!" - meanwhile an hour or two later - "OHGODWHY ;A;"

I feel somewhat related to that ad. :O

Also, even lactaid gives me some issues. I'm guessing the actual culprit is the milk protein. Yea for vanilla almond milk. :E

XDD yes. I love that ad. And, it's soooo well animated that black cow-- well both of them actually! *autocrushes on both of them*

I really really REALLY wanna know how they did the milk-pouring-into-glass-held-by-and-in-front-of-CG-character bit!

Easy. Pour a glass of milk into bowl. 3D a cow hoof over the hand. Then render cow. Then exaggerate glass refraction render of cow through a render of bowl, cereal, and milk (with fluid sim). Greenscreen bowl and everything into scene!

Right? I mean hyperrrealistic renders have been going since 2004 at least, and it's getting easy to render transparent things with refraction.
