Eau De Toilet

If you have a classic woman's fragrance - one that brings to mind style, sophistication and polish - and you want to put a fresh perspective on it, you should go down to the bus station, pick the sexiest one of the passed out drunks, put him immediately on camera and don't hand him a script. Because that's what Chanel No. 5 did in their latest ad campaign. Okay, that's not really a homeless person, it's Brad Pitt looking like he smells like a homeless person. Coco's grave just spun to the surface.

Brad is the first male spokesmodel for Chanel No. 5. Great choice, because when I look at him up there, I get an immediate urge to spray lots of perfume. Even more amazing than the image though, is the pure poetry spewing forth from Brad's please-Chapstick-me-bitch lips.

"It's not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on. The world turns and we turn with it. Plans disappear, dreams take over. But wherever I go, there you are. My luck, my fate, my fortune. Chanel No.5. Inevitable."

I'll have to wait till I get home and get really stoned to understand any of that, but I'm sure it's deep. Michael K summed up the entire vibe perfectly: "I hope in honor of Brad being their new face, they come out with a bong version of the bottle."

Mrs Patrick Campbell's picture

We love how she butches it up for the camera and for the money. She has had a good facelift and also a chin implant.

When the cameras are not rolling she is actually a nelly little queen.

This just might be one of the sexiest commercials ever. Did not like the Kidman ones at all but this is up there with Deneuve and the Nina Simone ones.

The man is hot, and I'm not a sheep in the Jennifer Aniston herd that settles here so I don't need to live in dissonance.

"Don't condescend me, man. I'll fuckin' kill ya, man".

Everything since then has been down hill.

As embarrassing as his delivery is, his wardrobe is even worse. It looks like he bought it at the men's section at Sears. I mean, damn. It's so bad it almost made me see past his beat-ass 'Legends of the Fall' wig.

No offense to my fellow Dlisters, but I always found Chanel No. 5 perfume to be nauseatingly cloying. To each her own though. Chanel Allure is nice though. My sister wears it.

Remember when Chanel made amazing ads like this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ5a2JH_BVE

I would believe this quote if I change it a little:

"It's not boxed wine. Every boxed wine ends, but we go on. The world turns and we turn with it. Plans disappear, dreams take over. But wherever I go, there you are. My luck, my fate, my fortune. BOXED WINE. Inevitable."

what an odd move to make, for all concerned.

it's hard to think of ANY modern male actor/celebrity who could credibly hawk Chanel No. 5, though.

well......:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (!);
Tom Hardy (cleaned up, but still a bad boy underneath);
Lenny Kravitz could get away with it;

what say ye?

OH SHIT YES LENNY KRAVITZ YES YES YES!!!!!!!1!1!!!!

What is the purpose of this? Why take an iconic brand and have it promoted by someone who needs a scrub down thru a car wash?

Today is the beginning of the end for Chanel No. 5

Brad is in on the joke. He knows how silly this stuff is. That's part of what makes him so hot.
--------------------------------------------------
No, that's what makes him a greedy millionaire. Maybe he can donate some of that money to the refugees and invite the "journalists" to videotape the warmhearted moment. Maybe he can use it to finish the Fake It Right project that STILL isn't completed after so many years.

Giga, a different concept and casting somebody like Gosling or Fassbender would've been a huge hit. I agree with someone who said that they partially lifted the concept from the Calvin Klein ads from the 90s.

Guess what? Loons are already blaming Huvane for this! XD

He probably is on the "joke" Laughing all the way to the bank.
I just cannot figure out who they are targeting here. Surely not older women that usually wear #5.
Not younger women who think it's for old lady's.
I mean who??? 35-45?

There's a new perfume out in this really pretty red/black flowery bottle. I can't remember what it is. But, yup I'm getting it cause I love that bottle. It can smell like shit but that bottle works for me. I too can be influenced by stupid stuff:)

Blame the guys who came up with the concept and the director. With this kind of money on the line for a 30 second spot, every single word and move is calculated by them. Somebody offers me a check for $7 mil I'll act stupid for them.

Brad is in on the joke. He knows how silly this stuff is. That's part of what makes him so hot.
---------------------------------
So you're saying this is some colossal joke and pretty much NO ONE is getting it. There's no joking with millions, imo. Brad's job was to sell and he failed. Even if it was meant to be tongue in cheek, he failed at that. Fact is, he looks weathered and he just doesn't have the depth to pull this off.

Question: If Pitt can agree this stuff is silly, why do it?

What a f*cked up world. Millions on foodstamps, I am partially employed with a Masters and this college dropout gets paid millions to look like a douchebag. Insane.

Punchline: he got $7 mil. for that.

No one knows for sure how much he made, but I suspect it's a lot less. Chanel refused to comment on the money spent on the advertisement. The number was speculated by "industry insiders".

Holy shit. *more embarrassed than I thought possible*

Holy crap! That was hilarious! It looked more like a skit from SNL than a serious commercial. He's so derpy duh. Duhhhhh um you know Chanel it's uhhh what's that big word I was supposed to memorize? Inevitawha?

Snowblood's picture

Why does he keep trying-not-to-look-nervous-about-the-bee-in-the-room glancing around like that? And is he supposed to be talking about/to his "wife?"

My boyfriend met Pitt years ago, too, on some film set and said he was so chill & down to earth, not a pretentious(sp?) bone in his body. Needless to say, this was pre-Ange.

.... This is why I hate Angelina. Not because she took Brad from Jennifer. But because she robbed Brad from us all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hells to the fucking yes. This. He was a gifted actor, down to earth and seemed to hate the pretentiousness of Hollywood. I met him about 15 years ago, before he was a part of Brangie. Soft spoken and hanging out on sidewalk bench, smoking a ciggie. I didn't recognize him and sat down to wait for a bus. He started up a conversation with me, we ended up talking 45 minutes. Offered me a smoke (I didn't smoke but accepted), when I finally realized who he was, it was time to get on the bus.

I asked him for an autograph, he said "aw man, you don't want no autograph from a bum like me", laughing. He wished me a good day and I left. Something tells me that sweet natured kid has been destroyed from the inside out. 20 years ago he would've gagged at some pretentious shit like this. Angie fucked him up (mentally and physically) for good.

Andrei's picture

Brad Pitt always looks like he's a millisecond away from laughing at his own lameness.

cake coke and cock's picture

I'm sorry but this is embarrassing as shit. That side-look he gives, remembering his line, just before he says: "the world turns..." makes me squirm. He's squirming too now, watching it. Ange is probably telling him how great he did. This is why I hate Angelina. Not because she took Brad from Jennifer. But because she robbed Brad from us all.

Sal, please!

"Brad is simply gorgeous with this Chanel #5 Ad.

He and Angelina’s beauty defy description. Words are inadequate. They are not eloquent and flowery enough to paint a verbal picture of them. As some one said a while back, God was clearly in a great mood when He created Brad and Angelina and gave them to each other to procreate such a beautiful family."

Joseph Gordon Levitt is a great choice, Lenny is beautiful and sexy as fuck so checkmark, but Tom Hardy seems kind of goofy to me. I would pick Matt Bomer, even though he's not all that famous.

Yep - agreed. It was like a really, really bad audition.
