This stain from Tide To Go’s popular “Talking Stain” commercial was performed by Flexitoon Puppets.

When I first saw this talking stain commercial for the “Tide To Go” stain remover last year I mistakenly assumed it had been done with CG. It wasn’t. Turns out it was good `ol fashioned puppetry by Flexitoon Puppets (you can see it in the Flexitoon commercial demo reel).

This ad – which originally aired during the 2008 Superbowl – was so popular that Tide built a contest around it, encouraging filmmakers to shoot and submit their own Talking Stain spoofs to www.mytalkingstain.com.
