What advert?

BodiesMakeForGoodFertiliser · 24/03/2020 18:54

Because it's so stylish you can wear it?

Ponoka7 · 24/03/2020 18:54

The logo is "so stylish you can wear it", there's clothing made out of soft furnishings etc.

BodiesMakeForGoodFertiliser · 24/03/2020 18:55

The lamp is the least of the weirdness😂

Ponoka7 · 24/03/2020 18:56

It's meant to be taking the piss isn't it? I like it.

This is what we will be reduced to after a month or so of lockdown.

Wearing household items to stage our own fashion shows for entertainment.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 24/03/2020 18:59

I think it's funny. It's taking the piss out of wanky 'arty' ads, particularly perfume ones.

ffswhatnext · 24/03/2020 19:03

I don't watch ads. Now I remember why haha

Strugglingtodomybest · 24/03/2020 19:03

Ha! X-post!

My thoughts too. I never get perfume ads

helgahelga · 24/03/2020 19:19

@Samcro

It's a delightfully silly ad, and yes, it's taking the piss out of the pretentiousness of the fashion world, but only in a gentle manner.. Smile

I really like it. And I hate most ads! So it must be good.

The model is the delectable Suki Waterhouse. Grin

Why have so many people voted yabu..?
I feel sad. Thanks for explaining, I don't watch a lot of adverts, but this one seemed mad.
And one woman looks like kiera thingy

Hilarious! All said in a serious fake perfume ad voice, I think these ads are genius.

Jammydodger1981 · 24/03/2020 21:03

@helgahelga - Thank you! Was driving me nuts trying to figure out who she was.

I think it’s funny, a bit different.

triedandtestedteacher · 24/03/2020 21:45

I find the new Tena ad more disturbing

Doggybiccys · 24/03/2020 21:50

I think it’s brilliant for 2 reasons - it’s such a pisstake of a lot of wanky /up its own arse type ads - but also - I had not seen it but I have now! We are all talking about it and looking at it. This is the main aim of advertising!!

helgahelga · 24/03/2020 23:15

@triedandtestedteacher

I find the tena ad really irksome too!

I really hate these ads that say 'hey! all you women who have ever had a baby/any woman over 40, buy our tena pads coz we know when you sneeze, you always piss yourself!' Hmm

I also HATE the ads that go on about vaginal dryness.

I know leakages happen, and so do dry fannies, but I just don't want to see adverts about it. Sorry, but I just don't. And actually not ALL women over 40, and women who have had a baby, piss themselves when they sneeze or laugh! Hmm

flirtygirl · 25/03/2020 00:17

That's a fab advert. Perfume adverts are crap but that's actually good.
