To want to scream every time the Dior/Natalie Portman/Chandelier ad comes on

[mycatisfatter]

It is cringe cringe cringe. Makes me so cross.

AIBU?

The bit that really grates for me is that I really love the song Chandelier, Sia is a genius, but it's ABOUT SOMEONE WITH AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM! Don't these thick ad execs ever listen to lyrics properly?

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw em back, till I lose count

What twisted mind thinks of this drivel? Honestly it makes me want to launch the television out of the window. Excessive? Possibly, but I don’t give a shit.

Kristin Stewart always looks like she needs a good wash

Oh God yes!

Is this the one for the perfume affectionately known in our house as Misty Whore? If so it is catastrophically bad.

Terrible stupid ad but not as laughable as Johnny Depp one or the Chanel Blu where he looks at a girl and decides to “ not be the man they expect him to be”. Pmsl every single time, petulant kiddo.

Biscuit - precisely. It’s like people who think that Every Breath You Take is an appropriate song for their first dance at their wedding. No, it’s not a love song.

Ah, Johnny Depp. Nothing like a wife beating drug addict to make me want to purchase some smellies.

Oh, speaking of the Johnny Depp one, is that the one that's called 'Sauvage'? If so, some wag has amended it to 'Sausage' on a poster near us, much to the amusement of my family.

That's Kristen Stewart? I thought it was Emma Watson! Why is she running around with toilet paper hanging off her?
I seem to be having a problem lately telling the difference between Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart.

Anyone watch Americas next top model? There was one season where they did perfume advert- thinking of how hilariously shite they were is my go to happy place!

Perfume and aftershave ads are the reason we have the word pretentious in the dictionary

Trust Chanel to keep it understated...

@cryingmess I wouldn't do that.

My favourite one is the one with Kaia Gerber aka pouty daughter of Cindy Crawford. She frolicks around and says nothing .

JeezYouLoon we play the exact same game! I thought we invented it! We see an advert that makes no sense and the first one to shout "perfume" wins. Recently we've been tricked a few times by posh coffee adverts.

All perfume and aftershave and any other poncey smelly pretentious fragrance shite advertising is based on the ancient "Old Spice" ads of 1967 with long-distance yearning and grimacing facial expressions, occasional crashing waves, lots of surfy-type blueness and grim, determined, but mesmerically paradoxically appealing-looking adult people.
Fact.

I do love some of them even though I know it’s wrong. Charlize looks amazing in the new Dior ad.
This one makes me cringe, did a 14 year old boy come up with the concept.

That one drives me mad. Natalie Portman presents as a Nice Girl — the type who irons her knickers and never turns down the corners of book pages — trying unconvincingly to be all Bad-Ass Manic Pixie Dreamgirl, all pretty screams and cutesy pretend aggression, jumping off piers and ball gowns in the sea and making your pretty pink car write LOVE on the sand.

I always imagine when she does the pretty pretend-snarling ‘And you — what would you do for love?’, she means something like ‘Would you not take off your makeup overnight?’’ or ‘Would you wear wear yesterday’s tights?’

The worst one of all was the Nicole Kidman "I'm a daaaaaahncer, I love to daynce!" one.

But this is hilarious

Bad-ass maniac pixie dreamgirl

Is that the one with the short clips of their relationship? The one where there's a quick shot of her shoving him? Makes me really uncomfortable - equalling domestic abuse with "passion" imo

There was one out a few years ago with Scarlett johansson with some really gormless face close ups I felt uncomfortable watching it! Like second hand embarrassment

Urgh yes, Nicole Kidman exclaiming she loves to darnce was a butt clencher too
