Even though zero women suffer from erectile dysfunction...
As usual, the weekend's Super Bowl featured some hilarious commercials from a range of celebrities including Amy Schumer, Liam Neeson, Christopher Walken and Kevin Hart. But also it seems a lot of ads didn't make the cut, and Ben Stiller revealed on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' that he featured in one of those ads. And it's just as, if not more, funny.
Ben Stiller mocks Super Bowl commercials
Okay, so it wasn't a real commercial, but for all its ridiculousness, it could've been (seen the Doritos ad, anybody?). He decided to shoot a spoof ad for Female Viagra which he unveiled on 'The Tonight Show' on Monday (February 8th 2016), after explaining to Fallon that the Super Bowl pulled his video before it could be shown.

'I was supposed to be in a Super Bowl commercial', he explained. 'They just bumped it. They didn't show it at the last minute.' The video featured Stiller mooching about in a bedroom holding a football and wearing a jersey while talking in a deep, sexy voice about female sexual struggles. Before Fallon shows the clip, Stiller explains that it's more of a 'public service announcement' than an actual commercial.
'Even though zero women suffer from erectile dysfunction, over 98% of women over 30 suffer from another condition called 'not being turned on by their husband anymore'', he said in the clip. 'Female Viagra helps women get in the mood, and stay in the mood.' The voiceover adds that side effects include: 'dizziness, nausea and having sex with your husband'. The video includes a link to a website called ViagraLady.com, which of course just re-directs to 'The Tonight Show' page on NBC.
It's a pretty funny parody, if a little sexist towards both sides. But then, the real Super Bowl ads were hardly chock full of sensitivity, were they?
