Comment on I am convinced the makers of those ads are on something strong and very illegal

  completely disagree with this. From a visual standpoint, I actually find perfume commercials really interesting to study for my own work (camera/editing). They do some really wild shit because they are basically no rules and being artsy/weird is part of the visual culture of perfumes now

    I miss funny ads. Everything is so sanitized and boring, bring the humour back! If you want my attention or business get creative! make me remember!

      I don’t want to see any ads. If you want my business, make a good product. Word of mouth will make me buy it at some point

        I 100% agree, I’ve adblocked all my devices and refuse to be advertised to in general. I only commented this because I’m at my parent’s house watching cable with them and those are the only ads I’m ever exposed to.

      What ads are you watching? Basically everything I’ve seen lately is trying really hard to be goofy.

        Theres a difference between goofy and actually funny/smart. The goof stuff is just cringe and offputting.

    Even the best ads are slop, just because it’s ads. But it’s totally legit to probe them for technique, and to also take the job and make into a work of art (which is ultimately slop because it’s ads)

      I mean that’s an entirely different discussion. I completely agree that advertising is bad for society. But to act like perfume commercial commercials are rote and frivolous, besides the objective itself of course, is just untrue
