She was a ray of light cascading across my soul

Posted by Robin on 8 November 2011 13 Comments

Snooki, in a parody ad for her own (real) Snooki fragrance. Mild profanity, so possibly NSFW.

      It’s quite funny. Makes me forgive her ugly fragrance bottle.

    I laughed, too. Of course, I’m old enough to remember the early Calvin Klein Obsession ads…

      Those now seem hysterically funny. Wish I could remember what I thought of them at the time.

      Oh wow! Looks like the Snooki ad is a total parody of this!

    This is turning out to be one of the few celebrity fragrances with a sense of humor. I like.

    You know, I hate what her fame and fortune represent — though she’s just one example in an ocean of others — but this was really pretty funny well done as a self-aware parody. It could have been kept to under one minute, though. LOL

    I love “It’s a real product.”

    To be honest, celeb/quasi-celeb/barely-celeb scents would be A LOT more fun if they took this approach more often instead of the more typical and ridiculous “essence of me, and totally different from any other perfume out there.”

      Yes, it was too long, especially if it is referencing the original Obsession ad, as surely it is. Brevity is the soul of wit.

    You gotta give the girl credit, at least the ad is truly funny! I am too young to remember the Obsession ad, so I had a look at the link. OMG how embarassing!!!

    LMAO! I had actually never seen Snooki in action before, but it was worth it for that funny ad.

    GOSH, funny!

    Not a Snooki fan, or a fan of the show, or a fan of celebrities vaguely famous for nothing except being famous. But I laughed at this. A LOT.

    And the original Obsession ads went on too long, too, so making the parody longer works, in my opinion.
