Sarah Silverman breaks off her romance with a walking, talking coffee cup in EnergyBBDO's snappy new spots for Orbit Gum.
As the comic pitches ideas to Hollywood producers ("My character can solve crimes, but she chooses not to."), the anthropomorphized container interrupts, and Silverman tells him their relationship is over.
While definitely more safe for prime time than Silverman's usual fare, the ads include a few sly double entendres, like the cup's announcement that "I have your lipstick all over my rim."
"Break up with lingering food" is the tag, used in January for a spot in which the cup has another uncomfortable public split.
