Trying to be stylish with its cryptic nonsense. "We never needed anything back then." Oh shut up or I'll fling you from this sky scraper. Such a steaming pile of utter cack.

Damewithoutfrontiers I mourn the full advert, because he looks completely edible when he's moody!

Giselle has been so photoshopped in that advert that she looks like one of those rubber sex dolls. She's a ridiculously beautiful woman anyway FFS. No need to make her into an orange blur.

I'm worried about Charlize Theron in that J'Adore ad. Her legs appear to have grown several inches. I know she's a statuesque lady, but it looks ridiculous.

The Gerard Butler one annoys me, his jowls seem to have taken a strong dislike to each other and are fighting to escape... I generally like him but the fact he is in a perfume aftershave gives me the rage!
I do like the alexander skarsgard one (because he is delicious) but haven't seen it this year Xmas Shock

Oh,is that Bleu de Chanel man's name - Gaspard Ulliel? Autocorrected to gasped uglier. And yes, it does always mean Christmas has arrived.

Discopanda · 14/12/2014 21:10

Has anyone else seen the perfume ad with Charlie Hunnam in it yet? Can't remember what the brand is but he's basically perving on a woman from the opposite apartment and then is magically in the room with her, erm, stalking and breaking&entering much?!

Misslgl88 · 16/12/2014 20:59

Is that the dkny one?

I hate the channel no 5 one it just seems to drag on for ages!

Love love love the one that r patz advertises though (can't remember which it is) what I wouldn't do to that man!

HemanOrSheRa · 16/12/2014 21:11

Absolutely not. I'm glad its not just me - I fucking hate it and most of the other ones too. The Chloe one has just been on I can't stand it!!! 'Pick up the phone' 'You looked so pretty'. Piss off. My DS who is 9 can't stand them either. He held his head in his hands the other day and shouted 'I hate these adverts. They don't make sense. Arrggghhh!!!!'

qazxc · 16/12/2014 21:11

YANBU. most perfume ads are wanky though.
My hatred goes mostly to the pick up the phone one, it just seems like an old pervert grooming a young girl.
Chanel 5 always have dire ads, this year is the weird gisele one and last year was the brad pit one.

Legwarmersforboys · 16/12/2014 21:15

Hate it, there's no chemistry, I don't believe they want to shag

zeezeek · 16/12/2014 21:18

Smug. Ugh.

FrankelandFilly · 16/12/2014 21:20

All perfume adverts are utter tosh.

There was one a few years back called "L'Homme" with a chap with a deep voice doing the voice-over. Now every time an aftershave advert comes on DH and I have a competition to see who can say L'Homme in the deepest voice

OddBones · 16/12/2014 21:32

Yanbu that advert makes no sense and bugs me too as its so inane.

I do like the opium advert as no talking just a nice tune.

LittleBearPad · 16/12/2014 21:35

Wtf is the Chanel one about. He sods off to the city leaving her with a child? Then she chases after him to a weird nightclub?

qazxc · 16/12/2014 21:45

well obvs "she'd better shape up" and stop neglecting him by looking after his child (and surfing). Because "to his heart he must be true" and he "really wants" the done up , sexy, snogs the face of him giselle not sporty/domestic gisele.
Hence him wrirting breaky up letters and getting her to chase him down.
I'd say LTB.

LittleBearPad · 16/12/2014 21:54

LTB was what I was thinking too. He's too high maintenance.

Sneakyweasel · 16/12/2014 22:52

Yadnbu! The dialogue is appalling!!!

Now the invictus ad on the other hand...offft! Could quite happily watch that a few times.Xmas Grin

InAnotherVisit · 17/12/2014 00:20

I know everyone's talking about perfume ads that are awful, but I thought I'd just throw in one I love.

The .

I think the music is amazing, and the dreamy, purple lighting, one of my favourite commercials ever.

ElviraCondomine · 17/12/2014 08:17

It is awful.

However... (being shallow alert) McConaughey looks divine in it, like a young Paul Newman. I guess that after his genuinely mesmerising performance in True Detective he doesn't need to prove that he's matured into a very fine actor, and can just pocket the very large cheque.
