Serlafantti, imee nopeasti paljon

1980–1983 · Commercial · 20 seconds

Serla / LM McCann / Vistakuva

Elephants have great sucking power, and the name Serlafantti plays on the word for elephant, elefantti. The music is a well-known children’s song, “One little elephant marching, two little elephants marching…”

A short strip of towel stands upright with elephant legs along its base, blue splash beside it The roll pulled open across the frame, printed elephants running along the paper Four elephants stand in a row on the standing strip, a blue puddle spreading in front One elephant dips its trunk into the blue puddle while the others look on Pack shot of four wrapped rolls, SERLAFANTTI TALOUSPYYHE, blue blob reading IMEE NOPEASTI PALJON A flat paper sheet lies above a bright blue puddle on a white surface. A four-roll pack printed with elephants stands beside a blue puddle. One printed elephant lowers its trunk to the blue puddle beneath the pack. The pack lettering shows above the elephants, one trunk down where the puddle was.

Heard in the film: “Serlafantti imee nopeasti paljon. Serlafantti imee nopeasti paljon. Mahtava Serlafantti. Uusi talouspyyhe. Edullisesti Serlalta.”
