Perfect!

Ingmar Bergman meets Fellini meets Franz Kafka meets Albert Camus meets "Sprockets" from Saturday Night Live, complete with the monkey and the dance party!

And another commercial classic, this one from Chanel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqhUuH43LNM
(Yes, the one with The Ink Spots, but no, not the one with the diving board.)

Scentimus, TVLampboy, thank you both very much! Both of those ads are now on my youtube favorites.

These are two of my all-time faves:

Here's a big fave of mine, for one of my favorite relatively recent releases (in the European version):

Want the US version? Just imagine the lady's voice saying "I've got to have you" in the middle and you've got the ad, American-style!

This thread has been enormously entertaining for me. Each commercial is totally bizzare in it's own weird way! The Obsession commercial is incredibly 80's, and should probably appear under the word "cliche" in the dictionary! Egoiste was cool, but made no sense whatsoever.

Cumming is the weirdest solicitation of a product I've ever seen. Who is the target market? What the f*ck is he trying to convey to us? Why would he get freakin' naked?! I think I'm taking that one off my "to test" list. You're talking to a guy who wears a frog mask, cape, and high heels on halloween, and he's freaked out by this insane commercial!

I don't understand french, but i think maybe all those women slept with the guy, and they're all pissed off and calling him "SELFISH!!"....lol.

Great stuff--if only the product didn't stink! Seriously, now--does anyone still wear this?
