Perfume/aftershave Adverts Have Gone Crazy

  1. Just watched Johnny depp drive past an ox, then bury his necklace in the desert. Then up pops an image of some new Dior scent. Wtf?!?

    Then there's some woman bowling with some bottles of perfume?

    Then Julia Roberts is breaking these spider web things on her arms?

    They no longer make any sense or have any bearing on reality. I know it must be difficult to advertise a smell, using sight, but this is getting ridiculous.

  5. Still not back at work. Pneumonia is not something I want ever again. Sofa & blanket is my life now
     
  6. Self regulating intravenous seems to work for me :)
     
  7. Hurry up and get well soon
    I think you need to treat yourself to some new aftershave cheer yourself up a bit :D:Kiss:
     
  8. Don't know why but I have a sudden urge to buy some Dior... and an ox. Don't know where to keep the ox but it goes with the aftershave, according to the advert.

  12. The messgae here is subliminal and rather clever.

    It's all telling you, "Wear this perfume. Don't, for fuck's sake, drink it or inject it."

    Clever.

    Good Goat, woman, have you no shame at all? :eek::Jawdrop::Snaphappy::Hilarious::Headphone:

  13. Get well soon JH. For your sanity's sake ... Get. Well. SOON.
     
  14. This was the ad I felt the need to post about. What's wrong with getting a message across about how it smells?

     
  15. How many people who can't stand pretentiousness would actually be put off buying a product by an advert like that?
    Not that I ever buy any kind of scent. Hate the stuff. Though maybe I've learned that response from the vanity and vacuity of aftershave and perfume ads..
     
  16. The Bull in the road may mean it's bullshit?
    The Eagle a homage to John Woo or the burying of the necklace signifying that he won't play jack sparrow again.
    Or the director was on ketamine at the time...
     
  17. And then there is the beyond awesomeness of this - one of my favourite adverts of all time :upyeah:



    :Hilarious:

  19. Anyone would think it's nearly Christmas
     
  20. I think it's a Bison isn't it?

    Not sure it makes much difference tbh. I do quite like the surrealism of it but it wouldn't make me buy it. I'd rather get me some Acqua di Parma to splosh on.
