Everyone here knows about the original Orangina commercial. An especially long commercial with a big song and dance sequence of a bear with an 'Adam' leaf covering him, a bikini clad deer, zebras in monokinis who get their vagina's slapped by said bear during a slide underneath them, and of course a panda girl getting her dress ripped off (though you'd swear it was a bikini to begin with).
They later had some newer commercials that showed the furries in a less than directly sexual role (in some cases) but still had fun with them. Now there's these ones that are only a few months old.

I say that because it seems unusual that the shift from either sex jokes (the original commercial, or the giraffe skater following the butt of some other guy), or animal jokes, like the laughing hyena, to a rather conventional animal mascot use that's been around for a long time.
Again, it seems to me that the whole point of the originals was to catch the attention of the viewers and once they had it, they decided to drop it and play it (for the most part) safe, and the joke seems to be on the drink itself, that somehow it's an aftershave, a deodorant, a milk substitute, a shampoo, and others. That joke might be a bit clever at first, but it gets old very quickly.
