Is the new NuvaRing commercial even more ridiculous than the first?  I think yes.  The video is above and while I couldn’t type fast enough to get the exact transcript of the dialogue, my best attempt is below.  I’m pretty sure I got the major ideas and direction of the commercial.

Woman 1:  Oh man, here’s that old Nuvaring commercial.  It was really unclear and so easy to make fun of.

Woman 2:  Yeah, this one isn’t going to be anything like that.

Woman 3: Because I already know what it is!  It’s birth control that’s a vaginal ring, not a mouth pill.

Woman 2: Is it complicated?

Woman 3:  No, it couldn’t be more simple.  You put it in, wait three weeks, take it out, wait seven days, and put it in again.  Does it get any easier to remember than that?  I just have a reminder set on my Outlook calendar at work.  Sure, that means that my male assistant knows that I’m on NuvaRing because he handles my appointments.  But big whoop.  I’ll take a little humiliation over the sheer torture of swallowing a pill every day.

Woman 1:  But is it gross when you have to insert it when you have your period?

Woman 3: Not if you like that kind of stuff.

Woman 2: Wait, what kind of stuff?

(Awkward silence.)

Woman 1:  And is it an issue at all when you, well, um, want to get, you know…?

Woman 3:  (Whispers) Guys, I have no idea.  Will you stick to the script?  I don’t actually use NuvaRing.  I’m just an actress and I’m on the pill for christsake.

All:  Yellow bikinis!

Voice over:  NuvaRing—Available wherever slankets are sold.
