Here is a commercial for Lamisil tablets, which first aired in 2000, and aired until late 2002. It featured an attractive, middle-aged woman talking about how silly she was for not talking to her doctor about her toenail fungus. Fortunately for us, this ad showed nail fungus in a tasteful way- no yellowed, flaky toenails - or Digger like figures - but instead it focused on the attractive woman, and her new found confidence to show of her feet and go barefoot. You may note, though, that she goes barefoot in the privacy of her own home, so the fact that she mentions her new "more beautiful nails" seems a bit pointless; she isn't featured in a public setting. Still it showed several nice shots of her feet. There was also a print component to this ad, which was featured in a lot of ladies' magazines:

Here is the ad itself, in full:

As you can see, it's not the best quality, but the only other version uploaded onto Youtube is of even worse quality.

I've attempted to capture the commercial, seeing as how I have access to a television archive. Even the versions of the Lamisil commercial in this archive are not that great, but they are somewhat better. I'm still figuring out how to capture sound and keep the frame rate the same as in the original. Unfortunately, they don't have any sound. I did come close to capturing the entire commercial, but it was too big to upload to Youtube.

This is probably my favorite scene in the whole commercial. It's probably what cemented my foot fetish. Too bad it's so fast.

And, finally, here are two alternate versions of this commercial. It features the same woman, as well as a guy's feet. So watch out for those scenes. It does also feature a slightly different shot of her feet, specifically some nice toe wiggling.

Here's the isolated scene:

And here is the alternate commercial. It's not great quality, and there are guy feet in it, but here you go:

Anyone happen to have a VHS laying around with this commercial on it? And could you upload it? Like I said, it's probably my favorite foot related commercial, and is what cemented my foot fetish, as I constantly tried - to no avail - to tape it.
