Maybe I’m in need of breakfast, but this ad appears to have been badly conceived and poorly executed, with lackluster music and a beer commercial voiceover.
It’s not as good as it could be. Whether it works for the target market, who knows.
I don’t think the Old Spice guy has anything to worry about.
LOL, yeah.
Or Charles Bronson!
This ranks in the top ten most horrible fragrance advertisements I have ever seen in my short time on this planet.
Ack, it can’t be! I’m sure we’ve posted 10 worse. Maybe that should be our next poll
Cheesy of epic proportions.
Yep.
Even axe body spray commercials rank better than this.
Way better — they’re usually funny. This isn’t funny.
Ew. This commercial makes me feel like i need a shower.
Oh, right. I am going to hop in a cab with a guy who’s been ogling me all night, sent away all the cabs just when the voice over says, “push all the right buttons” —not if he were the LAST guy on the planet. The only button I’d be pushing is the door lock. Creepy in a cheap way.
Or the button on the can on pepper spray!
Oops! I meant “the can of pepper spray!”
I had to watch one more time to be sure – and yes. It’s as craptacular as I thought.
Eeeeww. Cheap, in every sense of the word.
But it’s marketed to guys, right? This is no doubt the fantasy of many a man.
You can’t have a Playboy commercial without Hef in it! I kept waiting for him to show up to give the tag line…
“New York Playboy…because 83 is the new 30!”
She fidgets when he looks at her….
What is he, 16? well,wait… she probably is!!
I’ve seen a couple of these playboy colognes here… they are sold in drugstores-pharmacies. And the bottles (although not THIS one particularly, as it has not reached us yet) don’t look half as good in person.
I meant what is SHE.
I waited, hoping for the humor, for the *wink wink nudge nudge* . It never appeared
So… some marketing folks thought this would be a GOOD advertisement? What a cussafussup.
After watching it for the 2nd time, I realize in the target audience’s mind it might read as follows:
Step A: spot a hot chick
Step B: pick her up in your car
Step C: get her into bed
Step D: rinse and repeat
