The commercial featured a guy that filled his jeans and jacket with helium gas, and taped the ends, and started to float around while video taping himself.

even if his pants were air tight they wouldn't be helium tight and Levi's jeans are certainly not any of those.

I think denim fabric is porous and wouldn't hold the helium, it would pour out of the pants.

He would have to line his pants with a different fabric, make sure there was no air escaping and provide a very large amount of helium to make him float.

Just my thoughts?
