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.
