Charlene forwarded me this link to a flash advertisement sequence for Reversa. If you load the Reversa website at seemoresideeffects.ca you can “Step into the Living Room.”
Select a product (I selected the UV Anti Spot Lightening Cream which is the first box on the left and then clicked “See more Side Effects”)
Wrinkly suit blonde lady gets up, and then a sullen chef walks in (WTF?).
Here is where I ask: Hot or Creepy?
Click “Make Bread.” Sullen chef kneads bread. Mantitty jiggles. He spanks the loaf of bread and does a half-assed job of accurately kneading it.
Charlene says, “I’ve never seen the product on store shelves, and I’m not sure what skin cream has to do with a half-naked guy kneading bread, but hey.”
Now, if I looked at everything BUT his face, because he was sneering and kind of smarmy looking in a “Yeah I know I’m hot” way, he was hot. But include the face? Creepy.
Another person I showed it to? Desperate to find out who that guy is so she can wallpaper her phone with his mantitty.
So I ask you – Mr. Bread Kneading Chef Mantitty: hot or creepy?
Edited to add: I checked out “Pastry Making” with sullen shirtless chef mantitty? I had to run away while the other woman nearly ran away with my monitor so she could be alone with it. In my mind? OMG CREEPY RUN RUN!
Really, really, really, REALLY creepy.
Nice. Love that disclaimer that it may offend women under 35. Because we all know that those of us over 35 are desperate for little bemantittied beefcake (BEEFCAKE!).
I chose eating oysters, btw. Nice phallic pepper grinder in the foreground. Subtle!
I vote creepy.
creepy but hilarious
the anti wrinkle cream one has a dude in the bathtub pulling rubber duckies out of his nether regions LOL
I vote for a cross between creepy and hot, but all hilarious.
Oh, everyone must see the one for the skin smoother with the guy mowing the lawn. It ends with him completely naked holding a leaf blower covering up the naughty bits. The phallic imagery on that is so subtle I almost didn’t get it.
Ewwwww.
Even now that I’m forty, and therefore sexually deprived (heh) I don’t find that sexy AT ALL.
I chose running away while screaming, and then returning to the monitor so that I could email a similarly aged friend. (Myabe viral marketing DOES work?)
Mmm that guy can wash my car anytime. ]:)
I thought it was hilarious.
I liked him eating oysters. It produced a fucking pearl!
Is he pulling those ducks out of his ass? Cuz that is creepy.
“What a pretty little tart.” WTF? Did she really say that? And then the whipped cream all over his body? No, no. It’s too ‘stripper guy’ for me. I mean, sure he’ll bake for you, but it’s going to cost you. The master chef charges by the hour if you know what I mean and I think that you do.
Probably a sign of my old age, but I was also grossed out when he took off his shirt and started drying the glass with it.
Ewwwww!
The whipped cream one disgusted me. I couldn’t watch the whole thing. GROSS.
CREEPY. I feel sexually harassed.
Hot and creepy. Luckily the chef has a shaved chest. Hairs in food gross me out.
Definitely, definitely creepy! The “pastry making” one is just gross. Does he have to spray so much down his groin and then rub it all over him? Rather reminds me of the money shots in gay porn.
This advertising campaign probably looked great on paper. It’s really insulting to women in actuality… well, and to those men, too. Why am I having flashbacks to Mardi Gras? “Show us your mantitty!” Just ugh.
Oh, and I didn’t have my headphones on before. Now that I hear Ms Porn Voice murmuring in the background and the little moans whenever you click something, it’s even creepier. Exponentially creepier.
I am NEVER buying this shit.
I thought it was hot, but that’s because I read the look on his face as “I’m your hot boyfriend being a goofball while I cook for you”. He had a twinkle in his eye that made me giggle.
Hilarious.
Ummm… TOTALLY AWESOME. Try watching with the sound off. I found I appreciated the comic value SO much more. And what exactly was the point of the firefighter?
OMG TEEEHEEEE!!!!
I just about split something laughing so hard. It may have been cause it was a long day but it was all hysterical. The porny voice just made it more hysterical.
But if I was terribly tired I think I’d find it a bit creepy. Just because all those things that they were trying to sell as “sexy” I don’t find sexy in the least. Sure he’s got a nice bod but is that it? That’s kinda boring…
Aw c’mon y’all. It’s funny and sooo goofy. OK maybe a little bit eeewwww. LOL
I’m not sure….
I’m 50, and well, I’ve got a better chance of being killed by a stampede of rabid armadillos than I do of even dating again, much less seeing a semi-nekkid hunk.
However, I found this to be a cross between funny, hot with dashes of creepy. Cuz this is as close as I’m ever gonna get, so I’ll enjoy it 🙂
The humor was there, for sure.
PS,
for fun, you can actually make a tune with the little sighs and moans on the links. Ya know
sigh moan sigh,
moan moan moan
sigh gasp sigh gasp
moa moan moan, SIGH!
O, Canada.
While I appreciate the guy washing the car, I must say yesterday was just awash with mantitty in my neighborhood. It was miserably sticky-hot in the West Village and as I was running errands I walked past a basketball court and there was SO MUCH MANTITTY. Like, I-never-leave-the-gym-so-please-feast-your-eyes-on-my-glistening-musculature mantitty. It was so excessive. I was kind of wondering if there was a Harlequin Blaze covershoot in the neighborhood.
My security word is volume38. Yes, there was a volume of mantitty. Voluminous, even.
okay, I’ll admit that the chef kneading the bread was hot…but when he went all stripper with the whip cream, I was pretty grossed out.
The fireman testing the smoke alarm and the lawn guy made it up to me though.
I liked the single mantitty jiggle when shaking up the whipped cream. The look on his face… definitely creepy.
OH goodness… Just saw the rubber ducks. Nice phallic symbol with the faucet (or whatever bath hardware is to the right).
How could I not go and watch this after these comments??
I didn’t find it creepy – maybe because on my monitor the chef’s face was so dark I couldn’t see his expression. Car wash / bath guy was fun. That last duck had to hurt though.
PS – I didn’t necessarily find it hot either. Just funny.
Watch it in French. It improves imensely and is hilarious!
You have to click on the anti-wrinkle cream and get the plumber. Seeing a man do dishes, no matter what he looks like, is hot to me.
heeeeeeeeee…the guy was only slightly creepy for me. now, the porn-voice lady in the background did scare me. i mean, just…ewwwww. lady. go get laid. srsly.
my word: thing73…hehee…
It’s got to be the facial expressions the teeter into full out smary leer that make it so creepy, but the images are cracking me up.
Am I the only one anal enough to notice that when she stands to answer the doorbell, the couch cushions were skewed, but then when you click on the next product and another guy comes in, the couch is back to normal?
I am so sad. Noticing couch cushions instead of hunks. Fireman was ok tho.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Nothing in this is as creepy as the woman in the book trailer for THE MANNY.
Fireman, very much hot. He didn’t look smarmy and even had that crooked grin you sometimes read about, in books, ya know, those books we sometimes talk about here….
It ends with him completely naked holding a leaf blower covering up the naughty bits. The phallic imagery on that is so subtle I almost didn’t get it.
Yes, and did you notice the exhaust fumes coming out the other end of the leaf blower? Very Laird of the Wind or Savage Thunder.
My word: services79. My answer? No thanks!
The fireman was hot. I thought the whole thing was very tongue-in-cheek. Of course, I’m old, and I need this stuff. All of it.
“You have to click on the anti-wrinkle cream and get the plumber. Seeing a man do dishes, no matter what he looks like, is hot to me.”
I so totally agree, If this shit would make the hubby just HELP with the dishes I would so buy a truckload
You’re welcome.
It’s just so bizarre!
They’re much less creepy with the sound off. The woman talking and moaning as the guys do whatever really skeeved me.
