I don't get it either. My DM keeps watching it and sending it to everyone thou so it's obviously appealing to her!

It’s supposed to be a piss take, nothing serious, a caricature.

BobbyBobbyBobby · 13/11/2022 11:02

He’s horrible.

MarshaBradyo · 13/11/2022 11:03

The headline is off - unless it’s a joke

It’s really not a great ad

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/11/2022 11:04

Very camp

A caricature of what? Or whom?
I always thought he was great as Bond because 007 was just like a block of wood. Like Craig's acting. Which is why he's hardly had another successful film.

He was pretty good in Our Friends in the North

It’s less boring than the average booze ad, they have good PR, and the world is short on light news, I guess.

Not as good as his performance with Catherine Tate for Comic Relief when he played Bond Boy 68 but the Belverdere advert has made me chuckle.

I was never keen on him as Bond but he's obviously got a wicked sense of humour which is good to see!

Iwritethissittinginthekitchensink · 13/11/2022 11:13

The advert is a bit wtf. It’s the outtakes that make it funny.

I bet he’s getting a ribbing at home from Rachel Weisz!

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 13/11/2022 11:21

I actually laughed, he's taking the piss out of himself. I really don't think it's meant to be taken seriously.

MandyMotherOfBrian · 13/11/2022 11:24

Looks like a Weapon of Choice plagiarism.
But not as good, not as amusing and nowhere near as cool.

Aixellency · 13/11/2022 11:26

You honestly don’t get the hilarity of the whole enterprise, @Blocked ?

I’ve never particularly cared for his Bond portrayal (but then I don’t find the Bond industry terribly satisfying). But this is such a deliberate and light footed piss-take, so utterly ridiculous - how can anyone not ROFL? Halloween Grin

ClaudineClare · 13/11/2022 11:34

It's really funny, especially the teeth at the end! There are men DC's age out there who really do think they are cool and cutting edge. It is a pisstake of them and of serious adverts that portray them (Depp and Eau Savage for example).

Dontaskdontget · 13/11/2022 11:39

Huh. Mildly amusing that he’s taking the piss out of the Bond thing. But it’s very camp and not in a good way. Had no idea he could make himself so unsexy.

Anyfeckinusername · 13/11/2022 11:40

Thought it was Matt Goss 🤦‍♀️ saw a still from it yesterday, didn't get how it was DC.

Mrsjayy · 13/11/2022 11:43

I saw it on Friday, on morning telly it's not right Is it. 😃

Abraxan · 13/11/2022 11:43

I assume it's meant to be a jokey advert, not serious.

The dancing through the streets and hotel remind me of Hugh Grant dancing through No10 in Love Actually.

Pandapop101 · 13/11/2022 11:47

I think it’s great!

This is just ageism though isn't it?

Jonaskahnwaldplease · 13/11/2022 11:53

It's directed by Taika Waititi of course it's a piss take 🙄

MarshaMelrose · 13/11/2022 11:54

But what is it a piss take of?

MytummydontjigglejiggleItfolds · 13/11/2022 11:55

I think it's lightheaded and funny!

He's no Christopher Walken but I don't think they're going for the same thing.

I'd rather watch that advert multiple times in the run up to Christmas than a lot of the other (especially perfume/alcohol ad) dross

Other ads.

ASMRTingles · 13/11/2022 11:57

I enjoyed it!

dudsville · 13/11/2022 11:58

This made me laugh, i think I'm seeing it in the way it's intended. It reminded me of the video years back of the old guy dancing through a hotel.... oh ffs, going to have to Google it brb...
