Posted by Robin on 7 November 2012 24 Comments

A quick spot for the new Mercedes Benz fragrance. Hey, he even picks the dirty clothes up off the floor!

    For the first time I’ve seen clothes being picked up off the floor by a man! Yes, he was an actor/model but I will take it! LOL.

    Was it really dirty or just worn for a second before being flung off in the throes of passion? In an ad for men’s fragrance, I’m guessing the latter 🙂

      Doesn’t matter — he picked it up off the floor! It’s amazing!

    Why do I get the feeling that this spot is aimed at women to buy this scent for their husband/lovers who really like their cars. Yep, what every girl dreams of, a sexy well dressed, rich man who lets you sleep in, and picks up the lingerie.

    Well, maybe not every girl dreams of that, but enough might to make the scent a success.

      I think that’s probably true of most fragrance advertising — women do most of the shopping.

    Maybe I’m just jaded but I got the impression that he was a playboy and the house was his personal mansion. The thin tanned model in bed, whose face we do not get to see is another of his trophies/conquests. But, this is a playboy with a difference – he has “class”: before he leaves he picks up her neglige…
    *puke*

            I don’t know what any of those are. 🙁

            Should I?

            Not necessarily – I just picked them for the suggestive names!

      Wow! I haven’t “seen” you in ages. If you’re the same Snuffleupagus, that is…

        It seems I must be a new Snuffleupagus, albeit in a classy, vintage bottle.

    Oh. When you said “picking up the dirty clothes,” I was imagining, you know, dirty socks and last night’s work out clothes. This is just “here baby, you might wanna put this back on after you recover from my mad skillz in the bedroom.” Not nearly as impressive!
