Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 24, 2014

I still much prefer them to the ones with the “Colon Health” Lady.

Or the ones touting improvements to men’s sex health/performance…..or insurance.

About the same as anything for “awareness,” as if that solves a problem.

When was the last time anyone produced a commercial on how to use cologne or perfume.

Phantasmagorical is a wonderful word!

Maybe Bert over at Non Sequitur could use some of that stuff….

Sounds like great commentary on political ads.

I agree, Observer fo Irony! There are several women in the office where I worked that bathe in the stuff. It was truly obnoxious.

Erectile Dysfunction ad!!!! Listen up, Cialis. It both those people got in the same tub they wouldn’t need your pills.

Beware the pitchman….

One name – Charlise Theron

Teenaged boys using Axe definitely need to see the how-to commercial. P.U!

They haven’t been like that since the 80s. They’re not as weird today. Loved old C.K commercials. Makes me think of the SNL skit. Calvin Klean!

I have to steer clear of the perfume areas of the department store or I get a wicked headache.

In that first panel, it looks like she’s going to crawl right out of the panel and attack me, like the dead girl in the movie, “The Ring”. Scary!

The first time I saw the word “phantasmagorical” was on the cover, or liner sleeve, of an early David Bowie album. Can’t remember which album, but the word impressed me. -I’m very grateful to get my favorite perfume at Christmas. It’s so ridiculously over-priced, I’d save it for only special occasions if someone wasn’t generous enough to buy me a new bottle every year or so.

At least perfume commercials don’t come with those attached statements the like of, “Warning, may cause Kidney failure, Liver Malfunction, Thoughts of Suicide, Loss of Sense of Smell, Heart Attack, Uncontrollable Bleeding, Serious Anger Issues, Stomach Rot, Blood Clots, Large Quantities of Phlegm in Throat, Downfall of Modern Civilization, Massive Exodus of Accumulated Monies from your Banking Account, Lack of Enthusiasm for your Favorite Steve Martin Movie, a Sensation of Longing for a Pizza from Little Caesars or in some instances, Death.”

I hate when I experience those symptoms.

“I am made of blue sky and golden light…and I will stay this way forever…”

—Chanel No. 5 ad

Live the fantasy…

Please, EXPLAIN the fantasy.

Actually, I think it should have been “Share the fantasy.”

Well, as someone once said, “Nobody tries to sell a perfume labeled ‘Frumpy Housewife’”
