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

Nicole is unable to even move her face, never mind act

Although I did like her in that boat film.

Dead Calm? That was when she was young and her face was still mobile.

yes, that's it

she was pretty then (and would still be if she hadn't fucked her face up)

what about the one from last year with Jude "scrotum features" Law?

"Dahn't chew worry luv, you'll knarr when Ah'm there"

It's comedy gold!

Hmm. I'm on the fence. None of them have ever made me want to buy any of them though - probably because I have Odd Skin and most perfumes end up smelling like cats' pee on me, including Chanel No.5.

What was that oddity with the French sailor types, was that perfume or was it underwear? Couldn't easily tell if the first sailor was male or female - anyone remember it? I think it was perfume - might have been the one that comes in naked lady bottles...

Oh yes she WAS good in Dead Calm. (And it had yummy Sam Neill in it too. mmm.)

Don't know what happened after that.

ironic appreciation - that's it :)

The Charliese Theron one is the most marvellous as I remember her from MONSTER and think of that film everytime I see the add - PLUS she has proper hips!

The Paco one is just stupid though. Kids today ...... tut, tut, tut!

she met Tom Cruise and turned weird

- that first person walking through is a bloke, for sure.

Scientologists ate her brain, perhaps? I quite liked NK but mostly for Practical Magic.

The Prada Candy is the only one I have ever liked. It's different from the others at least. Makes me laugh and doesn't take itself too seriously.

YANBU to hate the rest though. I haven't seen the Gaultier ones - shall have a look at youtube...

Whats the deal with CK Shock ads?

Super skinny writhing around pretending to have sex to silly soundtrack = perfume ad. Random words said. Stage whisper "xxxxx parfum"

Ha ha - loving this thread! I only said to DH last night - the only useful thing about the sickening perfume ads is that they are a reminder that Christmas is close and I really do need to finish buying and wrapping the kids' presents. You only seem to see these ads at this time of year (and that's too often).

I like perfume, but the only thing that makes me want to buy it is the smell! I'm past shagging sailors.

Agree, agree, agree - shite ads.

The Chanel one - really, wouldn't you just tell him to feck off, coming up behind and nuzzling a complete stranger.

And what's the one with the blond actress pulling faces, stroking her face and then sitting on the back of a chair swinging her legs from side to side. Biggest load of crap, and I bet she feels like such an idiot.

NO yanbu i hate them all especially the scarlett johanson ( im sure there is more Ss and Ns in her name ) where she does all her own stunts , especially love making and the other actress where she is strutting along a catwalk , im sure last years ad she was naked in it , HATE THEM HATE THEM , and it doesnt make me want to buy the perfume

The worst bit of the NK 'love to dance' ad is the 'lets put a hot model the bloke from Love Actually in glasses and a taxi and everyone will think he's a nerd'....oooh look, look everyone, she's fallen for the kooky nerd.....

found this one, it's the ultimate in self-love, I reckon - has it screened on UK tv?

I hate jewellery ads more than perfume ads though...

I was in Australia for a family wedding when the chanel ad with Nk was 'launched'. Serious PR there.... it was on their news channels, and they actually SCHEDULED the advertisement in the tv listings. It was launched simultaneously (I think) across all the channels.

How much would a company have to pay for that kind of publicity?

Would totes let Marc Jacobs "Bang" me one, though.

Which will not happen. Unless I grow a cock :(

Sorry OP- off topic a bit.

Winter - I don't know that they would necessarily have to pay extra - Australians don't have that many international stars who get gigs like the Chanel ad - so they'd probably have done it anyway!

oh fucking hell, Marc Jacobs looks like a stoat < yuk >

Baubles, you have funny taste in men

I have decided the Chanel one is an elaborate ploy - you see they are really married but he's been diddling his secretary, she wants proof in order to sting him for huge maintenance payments and is lulling him into a false sense of security via creepy-stalker-lite-sex-with-stranger sex games in order to access his blackberry.

At least I can have fun taking the piss out of it, instead of all the bloody parfum, pouty lipped ones which are just mind numbingly dull...

Mrsjay thats the one i meant with Scarlett whats herface being so annoying! Vile vile vile. Dont mind the natalie portman Miss Dior one - i too have worn sunglasses in the bath. Usually hungover and never so glam

Stick to the BBC, like the good old days - then you need never see another one again

But you are right, they are a complete crock of shit although the advertisers must be achieving something as they are being discussed here.
