Jublia Football Ad

(This was the Super Bowl XLIX ad for Jublia, apparently.)

I like the football imagery and everything for a Super Bowl commercial, I guess, but this ad has the same problem their boxing ad has: the Jublia is shown fighting, or challenging, or whatever, the fungus, but no matter what it does, it doesn’t seem to harm or diminish it in any way whatsoever. Am I alone in noticing this?

Shouldn’t the Jublia football player tackle and crush the toenail fungus into the dirt until it is completely destroyed, or at least noticeably injured? Or are they worried about getting an unnecessary roughness call? (I always get called for unnecessary roughness whenever I use anti-fungal medications. That’s why I think maybe we shouldn’t allow fungus to be referees, because they have a vested interest in not allowing fungus to be harmed.)

Also, on a side note, when you are selling a product that supposedly kills toe fungus, don’t have your advertising mascot covered in toe fungus, as it makes your product look ineffective. (They are trying to sell us on its fungus-killing abilities, right? Well, not with that mascot they’re not.)

Here’s the foot fungus fighting film:
