Teleflora Super Bowl Commercial to Trash Boxed Flowers

Oh look! There are going to be advertisers in this year’s Super Bowl. Joining the list, for the first time, is Teleflora which will use its Super Bowl commercial to highlight its Valentine’s Day offerings. Because for some reason, flowers delivers unboxed are better than those delivered in a box, that’s what the commercial will highlight with a box of flowers asking the woman ito whom it was given, “Have you ever considered rhinoplasty?”

The commercial’s tag will read, “Don’t send flowers in a box. You don’t know what they’ll say.” While that potentially could come off as funny but, really? A talking box of flowers? Rhinoplasty? Unboxed flowers better than boxed? Damn, that’s a lot for a guy to take in. It’s hard enough just buying the flowers.

So guys, you might want to leave the room when the commercial airs giving you plausible deniability when you fail to deliver your woman a nice (unboxed) bouquet on V Day.
