This commerical uses Personal Attack to add humor to the commercial as well as showing support to their product. For instance after the woman farts and realizes her surroundings the commercial say "That was stupid" and then  "Get a smart beeper". Indicating that was stupid was the personal attack and saying get the smart beeper gives a positive look on the product.
