Ever since I have seen the latest febreze advert I have been both amused and bemused....but I do have a soft spot for it, because it is utter nonsense!
"IT'S BAD ENOUGH HAVING YOUR HOME SMELL LIKE FISH"
That's the starting line, it's as if we all have a house that smells like dying cod! You can imagine the estate agent selling one of these houses...
"So this is the second bedroom, and yes, that is the strong smell of fish. Like home from home"
Do you see where i'm ranting off to here? The advert is implying we all have homes that smell like fish....and if that wasn't bad enough...
"....but is covering it up with lots of flowers really making it better?"
Haha, so now they imply that we all throw petals down over the fish to try and rid the room of the smell. Actualy I do normaly enter through my front door and wipe my feet on the lavendar welcome mat before taking my shoes off and walking across the fish covered carpet. I guess they base these ads on truth!
Now the visual aids in this advert are what makes it truly special in my heart!
When the ol 'Fishy house' line is delivered we see a showering of fish from ceiling to floor whilst the people sitting down sniff the air. F*ck the smell of sun dried haddock, what about the hole in your roof that is directly below the 4th dimension where fish fall frequently throughout the year....what's that about?!
Then when the voiceover asks us if covering it up with flowers is really making it better we get a pretty display of red petals falling from the ceiling. Now I would really get in touch with the landlord or at least the local exorcist! Imagine settling down to watch eastenders only for a torrent of fish to shower the tele followed by a dash of petals!
Having dinner parties would be a blast, everyone sitting around the table with half filled plates until the host shouts
"Here we go, hold your plate out...the fish is here"
Then the magical hole in the ceiling shits out barrells full of anchovies!
"Oh, and now we have the decoration"
Seconds later the guests are covered in petals and plates full of fresh fish!
And the best visual aid? Well that would be the febreze that makes the fish AND the petals fly out the window!
FISH ALL OVER THE FLOOR? CARPETS OF PLAICE? WHY NOT FEBREZE THEM ALL OUT THE WINDOW?!
Try to watch the ad, it's short but it's sweet :)
