Jennifer Aniston has taken a comedic turn in a new online commercial for Smartwater, featuring an array of internet-friendly elements including puppies, dancing babies, and a parrot. The ad, which is expected to go viral, showcases the actress's willingness to embrace unconventional marketing tactics.
In the three-minute clip, Aniston explains that simply talking about a brand is no longer sufficient, and that she has been advised to create an attention-grabbing internet video. To appeal to a wider audience, she enlists the help of a litter of puppies, some dancing babies, and a parrot, after researching what is popular online.
However, the animals do not cooperate as planned: the puppies run wildly around the studio, the parrot repeatedly says, 'Rachel, I love your hair,' and the dancing babies are not quite what they seem. The ad concludes with Aniston tossing her hair to the tune of Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street,' as the ad team suggests names for the commercial, including 'Jen Aniston's Sex Tape?'—a suggestion she enthusiastically approves.
