Funny about that Clearasil ad...
by eliane
I live in Denmark and there's a version here with two teenage girls. There are a lot of ads here that are Danish dubbed over mouths that are clearly speaking English, but I can tell the Clearasil girls aren't speaking English. I think maybe it's German. Which leads me to wonder why Clearasil is shooting its ads in German. Seems an odd choice.

I live in Germany and the description of the dubbed Clearasil ad sounds very much like one that has been running here for some time -- there is even a sequel of sorts to it now, with a kid who looks like the younger brother a year or two down the road. Both ads were filmed in German. Apparently German teenagers have acne concerns too...

Yes, if it is the add you are all describing, it is indeed German. I live in germany, and I see them all the time, the older "mentor" boy telling his friend or little brother how clearasil takes care of his unsightly blemishes in 3 days.

It is indeed a good question- why shoot a zit commerical in German? Perhaps because the metro-sexual aesthetic is so popular here....
