Brands love the star power that celebrities bring to the Ad campaigns. And celebrities love the cash that Ad campaigns bring to their wallets. But sometimes the Ads are so ridiculous you can’t help but laugh.
Magazines are 80% ads, right? And you usually just skim through the first pages cuz they are glossy ads for brands you will never be able to afford. But lately, I’ve started paying attention to the Ads, cuz they tend to provide priceless opportunities to have fun. Don’t believe me?
EXHIBIT A
If you stop staring at David Beckham for like 5 seconds, you’ll notice one weird fact about this Ad. The essence of Britain is made in Switzerland. Really? How thought of that? I know it’s cuz Bently is from England and Breitling is Swiss, but honestly. Couldn’t they have thought of some better slogan?
EXHIBIT B
What’s behind the camera that has Emma Stone so spooked?
EXHIBIT C
Yeah, right. You are gonna spend 2 hours doing your hair and make up and then slip into a wonderful dress that probably costs a fortune, just to lay on a puddle of paint. Did Jessica Chastain smoke something?
EXHIBIT D
I just can’t even… I won’t ever be able to unsee this. Who did the Photoshop for this? Her teeth are so white I wanna pull a Phoebe and scream “DEMON!!!”. Kelly Ripa’s head is floating apart from her body and her hands too… This is just all too weird. Doesn’t it look like there’s a photo of a girl in bathrobe and they photo-shopped Kelly’s head and someone’s hands?
EXHIBIT E
Have a story? Yeah… I spent almost 2 months in jail for a DUI. But go on, have some Cuervo… (I so wanna meet the genius who thought of have Kiefer Sutherland endorse an alcoholic beverage).
EXHIBIT F
Why is Monica Bellucci hugging a priest and who are all the other dudes? Please, someone explain this situation to me cuz I just don’t get it.
EXHIBIT G
Rita Ora wants someone to steal her purse. That’s why she is leaning out of a cab’s window.
So, have you seen any other Ads that had you go: “WTF?”
BONUS TRACK
Just because Garrett Hedlund looks hot.
