"The Nurdle Durdle" was a commercial made by Aquafresh for Sprout which aired during The Good Night Show from 2011 to 2013. In the commercial, CGI toothpaste nurdles named Billy, Lily, and Milky sing a song about brushing one's teeth and how to do so while Sproutlets dressed in blue, white, and red (including Mikayla Harrington) join in, and then go to bed. The short aired at 7:58PM ET.[1]
Despite its removal, a clip from the commercial was seen in a Sprout sizzle reel in 2013 and an instrumental of the song played was heard in Sprout Control Room interstitial segments. After Sprout, the song was heard in an Aquafresh app, albeit with different voices and extended lyrics.
Notes
- Trick 3D created the 3D character animation for this commercial.
- Aquafresh made a similar advert, the "Nurdle Schmurdle," for the United Kingdom's Cartoonito in 2008. The same nurdles from the Sprout ad also appeared in one for Boomerang.
