The commercials have always annoyed me, but the latest one has gone too far.

Im not sure how it started, but I assume a guy put on some Axe, then a mosquito bit him, flew around, got ate by a frog, who was then found "irresistible" by the lady frogs (and it shows 2 frogs gettin it on), then one of the said frogs gets killed by some chinese food restraunt, where an old man, had to be in his 70's or 80's, eats some frog legs, thereby ingesting the small hint of Axe from the frog/mosquito/first guy.

Now this is the disturbing part... some 25 year old woman finds the old dude irrisistible, and they show here push him down on the bed, hop on top of him and start gettin it on (they had their clothes on, but *shiver* still disturbing).

Well in the end, the old dude dies, some wormes come up from the ground where he's buried, and form a heart shape (awww).

Sorry, just had to let it out.

That was the single most hallarious commercial Ive seen in a LONG time. I laughed LONG and HARD. Why cant you see the humor?


...BTW, presumably, the old man died from his "encounter" with the woman... Not an entirely unpleasant way of going, I must say...

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

Reminded me of an old SNL skit, i think it was. The cool ways for an old person to die? It had death by stripper and like alligator attack? Anybody know what I'm talking about? I think it was one of the fake commercial things. I like that one

"Our hero chucks a few rocks..."

Haha, I was watching COPS one day... ya, I was a bit bored... and this old couple had an alligator in their garage and it had attacked the old man and so they called the police...... nothing else worth mentioning happened...

please

That would've been funnier if it had been the Budweiser frogs.

Sounds vaguely like a commercial that was shown here in Australia, except the product was Lynx. Probably the same stuff but operate under a different name here.

Yeah, it's the same stuff.

I've seen that commercial (I'm in Finland, where it's also called Axe by the way, not that anyone cares). It's a bit eccentric, but I like it.

That commercial was playing in the Netherlands over 7 months back.

"The Axe Effect"
that made me think of cutting people in half

Pretty imaginative for an ad these days... What's wrong with it exactly?

I agree with Spork, I thinks its a refreshing change from just having some guy yell at you to come down to a car dealer ship and BUY BUY BUY!

------------------

"Run Away!"

I like when a celebrity I recognize advises me to purchase something. In the background there's a catchy song playing or maybe it's not catchy sometimes.

When I buy the product my life has meaning and the boys/girls approve of me and my sexual attributes.

I liked the commercial a bit...

I've never experienced the Axe Effect, but I have experienced the Old Spice effect. . . ya know, 18-22 year old girls don't come on to you, but thirty and forty something year old women do (cuz they think you're old). . . Okay, maybe it's just me (I'm only 17, by the way, but this really has happened to me on numerous. . . far too numerous. . . occassions), so I'm, thinking maybe Axe is the way to go. Who cares if it comes in a Windex bottle?

The new brand of lynx/axe, "Touch", isn't that bad, it's kinda like a more manly version of Africa.

You're better to go with a real fragrance if you can afford it though, some of the CK stuff is pretty good.

Ahh, yes. I know this effect...

The future is here, and all bets are off.

I concur.

The humor isn't sophisticated enough for these classy massassian types.

Argh, I just remembered about another one. Don't know if you get it in America, but it consists of a guy showering with Lynx (aka Axe) showergel, when all of a sudden he falls through the floor, naked and covered in soap suds, to where a whole lot of big breasted tightly clothed women are working out.
Things seem awkward for this guy, when suddenly, he starts leading a suggestive dance routine with them! He shakes his *** in front of the camera and the women jiggle around, and then he calmly walks into the women's changing room where there is a naked woman. He looks back at his female dance companions, and cocks an eyebrow. At this signal, the women start doing vigorous pelvic thrusts. "Screw her silly!" is the message put across.

I cannot watch TV with my parents for fear of this ad.

I want to see that commercial!

Are you people so lifeless as to ***** on a perfume commercial?

You just filled the whole purpose of a commercial, "Get Attention"

=P

------------------
* Seb goes around singing "I'm too sexy for my body"
* Wolfy goes around singing "I'm too sexy for Seb's body"
* Cave_Demon steals Seb's underwear (underwear stolen: 39)

No, the purpose is "sell the product"... which it did not accomplish with me. If the ad gets attention, makes people hate the product and not buy it... they arent happy.

"Guns don't kill people, I kill people."

I really like this commercial...

I thought the commercial was rather....unique.

I remember that one, if anything I found it slightly annoying.

[Edit] There's also this new ad for Axe Touch where a guy does something to a bottle or can of Axe shower gel or deodorant (like pops the cork open or something, I can't remember it very well), which causes a woman's nipples to erect (it's evident through her blouse), and another woman strips her top.

I know perfumes and such are associated with sexuality, but ads like this one seem a bit desperate to me. [/edit]

[Edit #2] Actually, I just saw the commercial again, and the nipples are erected by the guy fiddling with some radio buttons. The other woman's bra is getting stripped because he opens a book. It's still an Axe Touch commercial, though. [/edit #2]
