the bp advert makes me angry and irritable. he is a pompous twat.

Pile of 'inevitable' shite.
And Scarlett J? - embarrassingly horribly cringingly urghhhh.
But small mercies - at least he didn't make a joint ad with AJ.

Why has the women at the end still got the security tags on her dress?
Beautiful sparkly dress, two big white plastic things hanging off the back. Confused

It makes me laugh every time I see it - saying "inevitable" about a perfume that smells lovely but is associated with middle aged / older women nowadays who have been wearing it since it came out in 1919 (well, maybe not quite). Thus the whole advert says to me "you know that in the end, no matter what you do, you will admit that the time has come to start wearing it, all that is undetermined is how old you will be"....

I think it's so bad it's absolutely brilliant. I can't get my head around how it exists, surely everyone involved could see how terrible it was in production. Brad Pitt doesn't need the money, Chanel No.5 are far too famous for bad publicity to have any brand-awareness raising benefits, so can't see how this can benefit them at all, and Joe Wright is an Oscar nominated director taking a job here that involves literally just directing a camera at a person and maybe holding up the fortune cookies for BP to read (and his big trademark is roving tracking shots!)

Whenever anyone starts flicking on our TV I go "The stations turn and we turn with them" which usually leads with perfect timing to: "Channel 5...inevitable." as it scrolls by. If this makes me as annoying as the ad then I am honoured to be in its company.

I used to think BP was the most beautiful man alive! (legends of the Fall.)

Now he looks like a creepy weirdo!

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 31/12/2012 02:02

God YES! In Meet Joe Black he was almost painfully gorgeous! Sadly, nowadays I just want to switch off when he comes on the TV!

trapclap · 31/12/2012 02:09

Oh come on, its funny!!

Agree with poster who said they can't fathom how the ad exists at all. It's a flippin' mystery. How did no one along the way go 'hold on folks, this is shits actually'? Confused but definitely also Grin

expatinscotland · 31/12/2012 02:16

I loathe him. And his bubble-lipped skank ho-bag partner.

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 31/12/2012 02:55

i loved Mr Pitt when he was with Jen.....then he went off with Ange and now he just gets skankier and skankier Shock

NoMoreMarbles · 31/12/2012 03:34

I hate it! He looks like Billy Ray Cyrus (Bradly Ray Pittrus) and sounds like the M&S version of perfume adverts...I don't hate it as much as that stupid fecking one with Keira bastard Knightly in it where she whips off her clothes and then is magically driving off on a motorbike pouting in the wind... Chanel is the most overpriced awful smelling shite IMO...

Booblesonthetree · 31/12/2012 09:45

I think it's fabulously awful, and gives me an excuse to post this...

I loathe all perfume ads. They are pretentious twaddle Grin

Aboutlastnight · 31/12/2012 09:49

I think he did it confident that it would only be shown in europe and not the states, at least i hope so.

BigShinyBaubles · 31/12/2012 10:03

He looks like he needs a damn good wash.

GrimmaTheNome · 31/12/2012 10:16

I can't stand any perfume ads - pointless waste of time. What makes me buy a perfume is what it smells like on me.

Exception for Lynx ads which are sometimes funny and everyone knows they smell awful but perhaps a bit less bad than unmodified teenage boy which is their USP.

Doingakatereddy · 31/12/2012 10:21

The irony gets me - it's 'inevitable' that a hot piece of ass like BP will become saggy, bearded & frankly dull looking after having 6 kids, 1 divorce & been married to a frankly rather strange woman.

Not making me desire Chanel as a brand

Highlander · 31/12/2012 11:57

Like he gives a shit, being made millions to do it...........
