the Chanel one with super pouty Keira Knightly on the motorbike

Oh god its insufferable isn't it? The way she has her arse sticking out (I know, I know, it's how one rides the moto, but still, it looks show-offy) and the hideous suede jumpsuit. Eugh.

Your thread title made me think of the Game of Thrones

Anyone ever watch Americas next top model? The perfume ad one seems so ridiculous but this is what they are actually like now!

Babymamaroon · 14/12/2017 20:41

SSD yes yes!! The look on her face at the end. I couldn't believe it when I saw it tonight for the first time haha 😂

Bluebell1981 · 14/12/2017 20:42

Hate that ad too, but then perfume ads are generally the worst of all....

LastInTheQueue · 14/12/2017 20:44

Sooo glad I’m not the only one. I hate this advert! The whole “prove it” and “what would you do for love" just feeds into this strange idea that relationships should be full of drama, doubt and making up - complete bullshit.

What about the Hugo Boss ‘the scent’ ad.
Music from (I think) the weeknd ‘high for this’.
Lyrics- don’t be shy (or scared, can’t place which), open your hand, take a drink, you’re gonna want to be high for this.
WTF does that fragrance smell like? Rohipnol mashed with rape?

KinkyAfro · 14/12/2017 21:24

The chanel one with Lily rose depp...now that's annoying

LadyOfTheCanyon · 14/12/2017 21:33

DP and I compete to shout "SAUSAGE!" first at the Johnny Depp ad.
They are all awful. Don't even start me on Gerard Butler in that cheap ass suit

SwedishEdith · 14/12/2017 21:34

Ha ha, just searched Portman as knew someone else would be shouting "Fuck off" at the tv to this. Grin

champagneplanet · 14/12/2017 21:37

Seen it at least fifty times and still struggling to see the point of it.....and wondering why I care.

It almost ruined a great song too.

As for Sauvage, not sure what he's on about either! What digging a hole has to do with aftershave I'm not sure, maybe he looking for the point of the advert Confused

chandlersfraud · 14/12/2017 21:38

I seem to hate all perfume adverts.

champagneplanet · 14/12/2017 21:40

Also the one with the bloke and the two girls putting perfume on in the bath, Gucci Guilty I think it is, WTF Confused spend fifty quid and then wash it straight off!

Hmmalittlefishy · 14/12/2017 21:41

Which is the one with someone dancing like they are running from a swarm of bees up some stairs?
She has a green dress
I hate that one it's just so ridiculous and obviously doesn't work as despite seeing it many times I still don't know what product

SleepOhHowIMissYou · 14/12/2017 21:53

Is this the one with Sia's Chandelier track cut to bits so it loses all it's meaning? Chandelier is a song about blotting out a shit life with alcohol and then blocking the shame of drunken behaviour with more alcohol.

Brilliant song, bloody awful advert. Sad to see it bastardised, Chandelier has one of the best videos I've ever seen.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 14/12/2017 21:53

I agree with you all! the only bearable perfume advert is the Paco Rabanne Millions , where the male model is dancing and clicking his fingers it’s quite catchy, and he has amazing bone structure! The worst one ever in the history of perfume adverts was the one Brad Pitt did, can’t remember the perfume but dear god it was a cringe fest!

SwedishEdith · 14/12/2017 21:56

Yes, the Paco Rabanne one is, at least, watchable.

I miss this one though

CastielIsMyAngel · 14/12/2017 22:25

Oh God SwedishEdith I love Gaspard in that Chanel one

BlackPeppercorn · 14/12/2017 22:43

I think it strikes the totally wrong chord for Miss Dior.
Miss Dior is the perfume your favourite Aunt gives you for your 16th birthday, and then says "now you can stop wearing that Taylor Swift shit. Dior or Chanel from now on"
Not some aggressive knocking-30 thing, going round taking a long walk off a short pier, driving like a loon on the beach (will nobody think of the crabs), what will you do for love? Here, have my last Rolo, luv, and chill.

NewPapaGuinea · 14/12/2017 22:52

How do you advertise a smell? It's trying to stretch brand recognition to the max. You remember it, so it's done the job

omg millions is my very favourite,must be popular as that was last Christmas advert for it,im sure i read he is/was an New Zealand rugby player and the girl is so pretty,love the facial expressions

god he's hot hot hot

inabizzlefam · 14/12/2017 22:57

The stupid green dress ad is Kenzo....will not be buying that one.
They're all crap, pretentious garbage and none of them make me want to rush out and buy. It's even worse when they use a song that you like.
