Why are Trojan condoms called Trojans

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

In honour of me seeing my first advert in the UK for this brand of condom which I am led to understand is popular in the US.

Trojan associations - lots of little men jumping around thinking 'thought that'd stop us did you? Ha ha, we are clever and have decived you. Off we run to create merry havoc.

This is surely not what a condom brands wants to linked with?

But then I think of Woody Allen in his sperm suit.

"Oooh look a ruddy great horse. Wheel it in"

you only stick these inside girls(or boys) whom you think are horses

So you can project an image of yourself as being hung like a Trojan Horse, innit.

modern definition = something that gets inside your system stealthily and infects your files, ooh er technical support missus

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

image of horses = something a little racy.. a little.. horse-racy

just a big-dick warrior thing, I expect.

"if i wear a trojan tonight, will you be my helen of troy?"

etc.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

or "will you be my horse" for the more crass amongst us.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

they imply the user is hard working.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Hang on, the Trojans were the victims, remember? Slaughtered in their sleep. Maybe it's a rohypnol thing.

If I had known there'd be men inside your penis i never would have agreed to this.

― Nellie (nellskies), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

unborn men

just wait til you get the broadcast adverts.

"TROjan MANNNNNNNN"

― Kingfish Hypercolor (Kingfish), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Condom ads on telly? It'll be like the 80s all over again, where men in glasses get asked to stay behind by a slutwoman who is one-half of an ever-present but never truly successful comedy duet with another woman after acceidentally on purpose missing their last train (ha! that old chesnut...)

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, didn't the Trojans LOSE the War?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, they had their private quarters infiltrated

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

see, this is why we have Brad Pitt. To teach youse guys some history.

i still deny Fight Club ever happened

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

the woman on the billboard ads for these condoms, she looks dead. it's not nice.

― pete b. (pete b.), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Dead from sexing.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

necrophiliacs need protection too (especially need protection against diseases perhaps)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I think she was in an ice cream advert before. She must only be able to do that dead/orgasmic expression.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Get me her number!

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

zombies need happy endings, too

― Kingfish Hypercolor (Kingfish), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

a protected ending is a happy ending

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe she is not dead; just shagged out.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Well you're not going to call them Greeks. Okay, maybe you are.

― Skottie, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I think there should be a brand called agamemn, which sounds manly, and means you can say 'agamemn on' before getting it on.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't neglect Carthage. Punic Condoms. Too much like puny, I guess. Puny the Younger.

― Skottie, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

delenda est!

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Their vanity?

Oh you card, Chu.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:07 (twenty-two years ago)

And isn't there a brand of condoms called Ramses Condoms? Ramses had like 70 children or something.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't like the russian roulettes connotation

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:52 (twenty-two years ago)

or the other russian roulette connotation.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck her brains out, with BOFFIN ULTRA-SAFE

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

keep a cleansheet with Seaman Condoms!
You can shoot but Seaman Condoms makes a save!
Seaman condoms - Foul Play without the Penalties.
Keep your Semen in the Seaman

etc. the possibilties are in fact endless.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

lob from a distance...

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I just say how much I hate the phrase 'f*ck his/her brains out'. This gives me bad images in my head. Though I like 'sha9 the ars3 off' which is equally unpleasant, but there you go.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

i now have the jingle 'trojan man!' in my head. very useful for an afternoon at work. thanks dave...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

There is a jingle for condoms? This is wrong wrong wrong. Jingles are illicit things, goddamn.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

the "our house" musical features a condom that plays "it must be love" when the moment comes.

(note to all: i didn't type "the momus")

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not really a jingle, it's just a loud booming choir singing 'trojan man!' whenever the trojan man interrupts the date and gives the fella some good advice.

so it's shorter than a jingle, but couldn't think of another word for it...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

If your not careful you'll end up with finer brands like Rough Rider.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

TROjan MANNNNNNNNNNN
