Commercials pandering to furries?
7 years ago
I don't know if it's intentional - most likely it's not - but there are quite a few commercials out there who pander to furries with their design.
Take Mercedes for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQLK6c5vOHM
If only they'd put in some extra euros to also make his hands furry :-/
Then there is a German insurance company who also go in that direction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axdNYzcWxd8
They even went for the literal loan shark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwQDYWoB0Xo
Aaaaand of course you all remember the Orangina commercials!

So are there any more "furry commercials" that you would like to share? ^.^
EDIT: Here are many good things that you have pointed out! :3
From
dreamandnightmare and 
nabiwolf,
they reminded me to include the Schwäbisch Hall Fuchs, a cute fox who has been the mascot of a big building society in Germany for many many years. This video shows how his design changed over the decades: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFp89JivFpw
And daaaamn, he even got his own song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNhv2IyodjY
And he is now a fursuiter, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9DQ_88PT00
MannyGoodrushed brought attention to this cute lion in a Euronics commercial. Maybe not the best CG effects, but hey, at least he got fuzzy paws as opposed to the Mercedes lion above ^.^

Once again the British prove their style by having a fancy fox advertising a bingo game! :D

As in real life, fursuiters are very popular with children. IKEA knows that too and put another lion in their commercial. Lions are the go-to animals for marketing professionals, apparently! ^.^

Thanks to
MusclesNStripes for this one!
France advertisers probably produced the cutest family of mustelids since the Ottertons from Zootopia. Meet the ferrets:

Though I do wonder: why do cats have to be such big jerks again? D:

They were aired in my country and they sometimes caused a bit of polemic.
His boyfriend probably got accused of bestiality XD
The funny thing is, even though I don't speak Italian, I still know what that commercial is trying to tell me :D

But Kellogg's Tony is still the best <3
IKEA had this commercial in the UK, it's posted on IKEA Ireland's account specifically. I'm... not really sure what the point of it is. XD
But OMG that was so funny, and so cute!
I remember the Schwäbisch Hall fox from my childhood:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzu1P-IHUXc
And I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9DQ_88PT00 though only the first two minutes are about the fox.
And he is a perfecxt candidate for a furry crush, with his cute looks and the adorable glasses <3
The lion in the Mercedes spot looks nice though. And yes, they should have given him lion hands!
a) a notice of eviction
b) brass knuckles to beat the money out of you
