thanks. or should i say thanks! i wanna convey excitement while also not sounding like an email where you're desperate to let the other person know you're not in a bad mood; in fact, you're excited to be working together.

I really liked this video, but it was a bit hard to follow because I don't know what an "advertisment" is. I tried to use context clues, but honestly I'm just confused!
I agree
it’s ok you’re doing great, just watch it a couple more times and maybe you’ll figure it out i believe in you 🥰
influencers when they get sponsorships
i cannot express how much of a manic, unhinged madman you came across as in the first seven seconds of this video. just wandering around the frame looking entirely lost with your hands in the air before devolving into the most crazed laugh i have ever heard. threw me into another dimension
You're just jealous that you don't smell as good as Adam Driver's iconic "Centaur Mode"
It occurs to me that i haven't bought a magazine in so long, do they still have the perfume ads with the little peel aways to test the scent. Those were such a vibe when i was a preteen reading teen vouge.
now this is something i can get behind
They still do!
They do! I still see them for cologne ads in my dad's Men's Journal magazines
When I think of silly perfume ads, I immediately think of this old commercial for Chanel No. 5 with Nicole Kidman where she is hanging out on a rooftop with some guy she just met and at some point she shouts, "I love to dance!" and she's just acting so weird and cheesy. I think it came out around the time that Moulin Rouge was really big, so they were trying to tap into that whole vibe.
Another one from ~my youth~ was for Dior starring Charlize Theron and she's marching down this fancy hallway really aggressively and saying weird dramatic stuff while taking off her jewelry and throwing it on the floor like she hates it. Every time that commercial came on TV I'd be like, "why is this beautiful woman so pissed off? how is this related to perfume?"
I remember that Charlize ad. It used to baffle me too.
I remember that!😅 “I love to dance!”
"You ever think about the passage of time and get sad" I was in college in 2011, so yes
i want more of this! i have always wondered why no one talks about how freaking bizarre fragrance ads are
Obsession…
You gotta admire how intense Harry’s desire to direct a fragrance film is
Absolutely cracked up multiple times watching this. Adam Driver on a bike absolutely fucked me over, as did the 152$ carafe. I literally thought about how weird these ads can get (just like car ads) a few days ago, and I love seeing you cover it ❤️
"I sat my white ass down, and listened." 😂
Kylorse has haunted me and I’m glad society is talking about it
I’m mainly obsessed with the fact I got a fragrance ad before this video
The thing is perfume ads are only meant to convey "a vibe". Fresh, flowery scents will usually have a young woman in a light flowy dress and lots of fake laughter, warm scents are sexy (ie someone's naked), and men's perfumes have to feature animals for some reason🤷♀️
"If you wanna fuck, wear this perfume," sums up my early tv ad-watching experience, where perfumes were being advertised as alluring, enticing, sensual; the ads obviously featured an uncomfortable amount of fake-scenting, usually ending with a guy seductively unbuttoning a woman's clothing, and it's the raunchiest most awkward thing to watch on your family TV at that age.
I spit out my lunch when you said "A hundred fifty-two dollars" 🤣🤣
or is it spat? haha. whatever it made me laugh!!!! love all your videos!
That fly really suffered for your art.
thanks for the jared leto tw, im still scarred from when i watched fight club for the first time last year and he appeared
Fragrance ads cause me an unnecessary amount of rage with their absurdity. And for what? Liquid with a smell that you can put on your body without chemical harm.
Replying to add some that cause me said rage since you asked! The 2021 Dior J’adore campaign with Charlize Theron, the ad with Miley Cyrus for Gucci Flora (despite the cute animals & pretty colors, the transition to anime sends me into a spiral), and any fragrance ad by Valentino is completely over-the-top.
i got a perfume ad on this. an entirely incomprehensible ad too. and then a dune ad.
Dude I just recently discovered your channel and you’re hilarious. Actually got me laughing out loud like I’m watching Drew Gooden.
I cannot stress enough how much I hate the Natalie Portman ad 😂 I cannot explain it, but I’ve had to sit through it so many times that when I hear that music and her say “wake up”, I immediately enter this state of barely concealed rage, I’m so sorry Natalie.
i'm so glad to see you guys were having a better day!
I have never thought to myself 'wow I wish I smelled more like a horse, especially one that's been running' so why would you highlight that animal in your ad...
YES! Once I see a horse, I don't want to smell it if I am not, you know, near a horse. I can imagine it far too well and no, thank you.
The Coty Wild Musk commercial looks like it had to have been made in the 70s. I looked it up and was very surprised to see it came out in the mid 80s. I'm guessing the commercial's budget was spent on cocaine and fedoras.
0:38 Say what you will about that commercial. That is objectively funny.
This was a Star Wars-heavy video
you say you’re not like that guy in the caveman ad but you cannot deny the primal hunter instinct that kicked in when you killed that fly. or annoyance, who’s to say?
Me & my brothers had this game where we had to guess what they advertise just from the first few seconds (a car, perfume, etc).
this video was a huge banger!! genuinely made my day better :)
maybe this edible is stronger than i thought but "foutside" made me snort
seeing it written it looks like a french name. Harry if you release a fragrance ever its gotta be named that
deal
I love randomly hearing intrumental piano from famous plays, that I dont know that names of, but I know are familiar because of Glee 😅
Speaking of odd ads, chadtronic has a fun series on that alone, so you can satisfy your odd ad craving without live tv 👍🏾
Wow these are on an another level 😅 never thought that the best fragrance ad i've seen will be a one direction one...
Clearly Keira Knightley was in Egypt
All I could think of was that the perfume would smell like wet horse and sweat😂
loved this!
another great vid!!
btw harry, are you keeping up with the new blaseball season? you were the one who introduced me to it with your videos and got me invested, so I've been thinking of you now that it's back LOL. proud hawaii fridays fan right here 🌴
i am! the jazz hands are continuing their proud tradition of being extremely bad at pitching, and i am thoroughly impressed with the wild wings DOMINANT start to the new era. i'm really excited to see what comes next
I have to say, Opium is by far my favorite perfume, it's just by far too expensive.
Harry is great as always
entering the walter white fly arc I see
came for the funny fragrance ads stayed for the fly/bug juice
Please do a sequel!!!
Looking forward to that bear vid!
The Peterson clip took me out 😂
I have to say Born in Roma is the only perfume I’ve liked and I don’t know the commercial. I just smelled it and liked it.
I will defend that Adam Driver is an oak tree and this smells like the forest.
I would guess that the Johnny Depp one smells like douchebag😅. Even the wolf is like, would you shut up?
They then made the Natalie Portman one to be the antidote (the anti-douchebag).
Whoa new Video!!!!
HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT THEYRE ALL SO WEIRD
Your audio levels are a little low. From binging other UA-cam vids I had to turn up the volume a bit. Just a heads up. Maybe listen to other youtube vids to calibrate yours to be consistent? Idk but you are doing great! Get those subs!
Well this was hilarious
I just saw that Natalie Portman ad before I watched this!
Best first 7 seconds of any video I've ever seen
Wait, is that how Americans pronounce Guenica for real or was that part of the radio joke? In Spanish, it's usually said Gare-NEE-kah.
Bro what these descriptions for the perfumes man
Noooooo poor fly :((
I miss weird commercials. They’re so boring now.
I feel like you could spend a whole video just talking about the Kenzo World “film”.
I'm sorry, it smells of incense? What kind of incense? As far as in aware, I may be wrong, there are *at least* 2 kinds 🤷🏻😂
what a well-crafted fly in this video!
A SCENTaur???? 🤔🤔🤔
I can't believe this video has been out for 6 days and I'm the first person to make this stupid pun
genius isn't always revealed at first
I LOVE THE ANIME STYLE GUCCI FLORA COMMERCIAL WITH ANIME MILEY CYRUS, MILEY IS A MAGICAL GIRL NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE PLS PLS PLS REVIEW
I forget, what continent is Washington DC located upon, again?
"foutside"
u remind me of hank green lol
1000th like!
Are you drew gooden’s lost brother?
Surprised you didn’t talk about the ritualistic “daisy” chanting at the end of the commercial. Kinda midsommer
good video next time dont murder a fly or i can’t continue to support u
i have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement
severely underprepared for the hasan callout
time to cancel,,, he stalked a fly and posted it for clout
WRONG. Flies don't have teeth.
Second 😊
