Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 21, 2023

If those are based on real commercials, I must have missed them.

My next career aspiration: script writer for perfume commercials

I’ve seen weirder.

Because they stink.

I scents that either the ad creators or their customers have been sniffing too much perfume or something other than perfume.

“‘Non Sequitur’. The new fragrance from Wiley.”

Got to agree with Brewster. You used to know what product a commercial was pitching very early. Now a commercial (and not just for perfume – although they may be greatest offenders) will be almost over before their is a whiff of the product name. No way you’ll remember the product.

Ah, for the catchy jingles/slogans of days of yore. You remembered the product. “Where’s the beef?” “You’ll wonder where the yellow went…” “My bologna has a first name…” “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.”

This is what happens when you watch smellovision.

I’ll leave a comment as soon as I return from Sephora.

So are Bud Lite commercials these days…

Or the results of a certain “perfume” you inhale…

i think tim ran out of ideas today!

“…And he stole my magazines with all the Perfume Smells! This stinks!”

Coming from Brewster, THAT is saying something.

The bovine reminds me of Cliff. Same expression, with sunglasses.

The women’s perfume commercials are even weirder. :)

My all-time favorite perfume joke is about a perfume called “Wrists”. Women get the joke every time.

Yeah, I can explain why women are obsessed with mopping up blue liquids with oddly shaped pads(?), but I have no idea what perfume ads are doing. Happy trails!

I guess in the second pic, you end up smelling like a cow.

Hey- if it’s a week before Valentines or Mother’s Day and you want to sell 50¢ worth of perfume in a nice-looking bottle for $500, you gotta get their attention. It seems the best way to do that is with a famous actress from the eighties or nineties wearing weird clothes and doing and saying weird things and hawking cutesy/weirdly named perfume. If Jennifer Aniston uses it…

Take it off. Take it all off.

Any time we’re watching TV, and something comes on that makes us go “What the heck did we just see?” the answer is going to be “a perfume commercial.”

yeah, they stink

Poocharé…all meat…dog food!

But it’s like you’re right there sniffing the perfume.

Yes. Yes they are.

I shudder to think what the one that combines Flowers with Cow Pies must smell like.

Of course, the ones that smell like “Clown’s Despair” and “What the Monkey Flung” aren’t exactly going to be best sellers, either.

Here’s a classic from Mr. Depp.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj-fT4x3J_s

Ding!
