Filmed in a comic book style, it shows a man in a hospital being offered a number of increasingly large penis sizes from "The Ross", "The Vernon" through to "The Moyles", before he ends up choosing the super-sized "The Moyles".

Following the operation, the man awakes and is delighted with the result. When an attractive and well-endowed female nurse enters his room, he becomes aroused but finds his new extension is not as great as he thought.

The viral video ends with the tagline "Enjoy your money. But don't over extend yourself". The final scene shows the man wincing as his super-sized organ is hit by a closing window.

Chris Delahunty, digital marketing manager at Virgin Money, said: "Virals are a fun, targeted way to get people thinking differently about their finances. Maverick has turned the concept of using money responsibly into a risque, but fitting viral designed to reach a large audience quickly and make them smile."

The "Don't Over-Extend Yourself" viral campaign and website dont-over-extend-yourself.com was created and produced by Maverick.

This is funny?

Not if you ask me, but I'm guessing I'm not the target.

The First Post had this to say about it:

This viral for Virgin Money is, by contrast, utterly pathetic. Ooh-er, it's a penis joke. Guy has penis enlargement operation. Busty nurse causes erection, mayhem ensues.

"Enjoy your money but don't overextend yourself," drones a voiceover. Overextend yourself, geddit? It's just an ad with a dick in it, embarrassingly Lower Sixth.

Exaggeration is the top tool in the comedy toolbox (a pun almost as crass as the ad, I'm afraid) but c'mon, guys, you don't have to exaggerate exaggeration.

The agency will say, sniffily, "Well, this is the sort of humour our target audience responds to."

Bollocks. Even guys between 18 and 25 aren't this puerile. To be funny, an idea needs to be fresh - to have a different take on life. Sid James has been dead 10 years and he's fresher than this.

And for those superadgrunts, it's also here in the archive for posterity sake.

Humour is subjective.

In other words, TDD, you find this crap funny. You're not by chance a 12 year old boy are you?

Did I say I found it funny? I don't think so. MaverickViral seems to think it funny, though. As I said, humour is subjective.
