AIBU to HATE every single tv ad for perfume I have ever seen ?

[AnyFuckerForAMincePie]

That is all.

Just seen the Prada Candy one.

Candy ????

And yes, the bloke stays fully dressed while her dress ends up over her head and she is wearing pink frilly knickers

bag'o'shite

YANBU they are universally horrendous.

Watch/jewellery adverts are no better either (similar offer/marketing strategy) And now I will eternally associate the wonderful Bunny Suit by Simone White with the horror of Nicole Kidman's Ladymatic (sounds like some sort of electronic sanitary product - )

YANBU - they are all utter crap.

I'm particularly noticing the "smells like having a rough night with a sailor" one and the "why not knock over some apples, while standing around with your mouth permanently open" one.

YANBU. The one that makes me laugh is the Charleze Theron one where she appears to have been spray painted gold, before stalking around shedding her clothes and snarling "J'adore Dior" in a deranged manner!

And don't get me started on the Nicole Kidman ones ...

Every single time an advert for perfume comes on TV DH says "Now, why would that make you want to buy that?"

YANBU at all!!

YANBU. I'd love to see one with ordinary people on it, and they (fully clothed) just turn to the camera and say "wear this, you'll smell nice, not of BO". End.

They must work though ?

Some people must watch them, and go out immediately to buy that perfume, or they wouldn't keep making them ?????

< can't see it, myself >

YANBU they are unmitigated shit.

The only ones that raise a vague smile are the Jean Paul Gaultier ones, where a stick insect thin woman is left looking dishevelled in a bed whilst a very obviously gay male sailor throws her a knowing glance before fucking back off to the gayest ship this side of In The Navy by Village People.

Who do they think they're kidding? He's probably made her look all flushed by teacher her the dance routine to Poker Face by GaGa, not by pulling her knickers to half-mast and giving her a jolly rogering.

What is the godawful one with the "i do all my own stunts, even the sex scenes" bollocks. Ooooh i could punch the tv.

AnyFucker, I saw that for the first time yesterday and was wtaf?

Just brand awareness innit. I think TV advertising as we know it is not long for this world. Cant remember the last time I watched an ad break.

Val, it was the first time I'd seen the "Candy" one too

My blood is still boiling

it makes me want to stalk into Debenhams perume counter and smash every last bottle of it

I have no idea what it smells like, and after seeing that ad I don't fucking want to

epic fail, advertisers

YABtheleastU of any AIBU thread in the history of time. I hate them all too, for their stupid storylines and, in some cases, for featuring Kiera Shitely.

ha !

< adds least U of any AIBU badge to lapel >

Would you like her to repeat the question?
No, i'd like to collapse this cubicle....

No!!!! I think the Chanel no5 one with Audrey Tatou is LOVELY!!!! The rest are shite. (Don't get me started on Nicole Kidman, who i LOATHE).

I don't get the VIP 212 advert AT ALL.

"You're not on the guest list" ... OK then, I'll crawl about in skimpy clothes trying my best to get into a party where the women are on coke, the men are gay and the drinks are £50 a pop.

Also... WTF is that Paco Rabanne ad about??

Me? I'm dancing like a prat. Then I click my fingers. There's a flash car with a hooker on the bonnet and it's obviously not a metaphor for my penis. I click again. A 3rd world Child dies. Whoops, wrong advert. I click again. It's a tramp in high heels. She clicks. Bag of money. Click. Diamond ring. Click. It's on her finger even though I wouldn't marry her for all the jewels of Africa because I'm gay as a Christmas Hamper. Click.

Audrey Tatou... sigh. Can you imagine anyone else making a jumpsuit thingy look so good?

I just don't get perfume advertising. All that matters with perfume is what it smells like on you. The people offering you a squirt in department stores can be annoying but at least that's a valid way to decide if you like a perfume.

YABU though - surely you can't hate all the Lynx adverts (which are a subgenre of perfume, unless you're a sexist ), some of them are amusing in their own inimitable way.

Oh yes I forgot the dreadful Keira ones. I hate how she always has her mouth resting gormlessly open.

NO NO NO NO NOT the Audrey Tatou one! Stupid advert on every stupid time there's a stupid ad break. As soon as I see her stupid top lip and hear that stupid song I want to scream! I hate it with a vengeance

YANBU.
Remember only extremely thin people can wear perfume.

YANBU.

"I'm a dancer: I love to dance!"

I like them! The sillier the better. (doesn't make me buy their perfumes though)

I can see an ironic following, I suppose

in a "did you see that latest one...that is the shittest of the shit" kinda way

prizes given for most sexist, airheaded premise etc

'I love to dance'.

please. The woman cannot even act.

[disclaimer.. met her once in a professional capacity. Diva in the extreme. Quite liked her before. Oh, and she can deny all she bloody wants about not having cosmetic surgery ]
