Just seen the new Chanel No.5 ad. Erm...

Perhaps it's just too profound for me to understand.

Was he saying something? I didn't notice.

It works on me Grin

But I don't like no 5

BridgetBidet · 16/10/2012 16:18

He's always come across to as nice to look at but thick as two short planks, and he wants to seem to be intelligent but he's not so it just comes across as pretentiousness.

WitchesTitWhistles · 16/10/2012 16:21

. Makes me feel better about not being Angelina Grin

HoldMeCloserTonyDanza · 16/10/2012 16:27

In fairness to him I think he did the best he could with pretty horrific material.

I think the problem is almost that he does all that charity work now - I kept expecting him to start talking about UNICEF or people who lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina or something. And then it turned out he was just shilling perfume.

CRINGE.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 16/10/2012 16:29

He got paid $6.5m - how thick can he be?

QuintessentialShadows · 16/10/2012 16:30

He looks and sounds like he is drunk.

lighthousekeeping · 16/10/2012 16:35

I thought he'd studied architecture. I could be wrong. I hate that word "thick" thick by who's standards??? I haven't smelt number 5 for years. May have to have a whiff now.

Cross posts, SmellyFartado!

PoppyAmex · 16/10/2012 16:47

I saw it last night and cringed. He actually looks seriously uncomfortable.

cocolepew · 16/10/2012 16:48

At least it 's better than the Nicoke Kidman one. I like Brad, he seems a good egg.

Shakey1500 · 16/10/2012 16:52

As far as I'm concerned he can bang about as much as he likes if I'm in the vicinity Grin To be fair,he is a more than competent actor (no Shakespeare as far as I'm aware so loses points) and there's no denying he is charitable.

It's awful isn't it! Deary me.

GoEasyPudding · 16/10/2012 17:05

The alternative script went like this:

"Ladies, its me, Brad Pitt star of many a fine film including Legends of the Fall. I really like the smell of Channel No5 on a lady, or any living thing for that matter. So why not buy some, wear it and when we meet one day... you may find me snufferling at your pulse points"

The Bradster dosen't do anything for me. Meanwhile though I found myself rewinding the Gordons Gin advert again to hear Philip Glenister say
"Gordons. Shall we get started?"
I want to get started on that Glenister so very badly.

SecretSquirrel193 · 16/10/2012 17:10

He reminds me of the guy who sang Achy Breaky Heart in this add

FinallyMrsFC · 16/10/2012 17:11

Yes yes, just CUT YOUR HAIR AND HAVE A SHAVE Brad.

Tamoo · 16/10/2012 17:15

GoEasy your script is much better. A bit of humour always works well on me.

Even my 9 y-o DS knows that if an advert comes on that is totally incomprehensible it will be for perfume.

spondulix · 16/10/2012 17:17

He looks like he's mentally doing a headcount of all his children and failing.

BrainSurgeon · 16/10/2012 17:20

I hear you LaQ - poor lamb Grin

HoneyDragon · 16/10/2012 17:21

Oh yes, now the Gordons ad practically has me dry humping the telly. Glenister could sell me any old shit in a bottle if I thought he was offering some sexy time.

CoteDAzur · 16/10/2012 17:22

YABU. Just enjoy it Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 16/10/2012 17:23

What a pile of pretentious wank that ad is.
Still, it's par for the course for perfume ads in the run up to Christmas, they're always irritating.
I agree that it's not as bad as Nicole Kidman's though. It was a classic in it's sheer awfulness.
