Remember “…and they call it Charlie!”? That fucking tune is stuck in my head.
Just as an FYI, there’s a Netflix show called ‘The Gentlemen’ in which the son of a British Lord (played by the same guy who’s in the commercial) inherits an estate with a huge mansion when his father dies and finds out his father had rented out the estate to a cannabis growing operation to keep the bills paid. Hijinks ensue. I assume the commercial is a riff on the show premise, minus the cannabis and criminal element.
I still love the Charlize Theron perfume commercial. I’ve no idea what brand of perfume it is, though!
A guilty please for sure- what are they selling? How does that relate? But they are often beautiful, anyway.
I am sympathetic to the ad people trying to create commercials to sell perfume or cologne. It’s gotta be tough to convey what the stuff smells like.
Johnny Depp is all sweaty and hanging around wolves, then digs a hole in the desert. Is that the smell they wish to convey?
The Julia Roberts stuff in Paris I get a little better. Looking out on the city skyline and the Eiffel Tower, the smell of baguettes and Roquefort in the air.
Does she do the horse laugh, because that’s her trademark?
Kind of hip, kind of now (Charlie!)
Kind of free, kind of wow (Charlie)

Bobby Short was the singer, which helped make it memorable.
Perfume commercials are designed to create an image, not tell you what the perfume smells like.
I realize that but presumably the image has to hint at what the perfume is like.
Someone should run a perfume commercial with a line from Henry Miller, (from memory, I think it’s close), “she was wearing the kind of perfume that gave you a hard-on whether you wanted to fuck or not” 
I suppose that’s the kind of image the perfume ads are suggesting.
The kind of fragrance that makes your day,
And they call it … Charlie!
I have no idea how I remembered that, but it came back immediately once I read the first two lines.
Shelly Hack was the Charlie girl! I’d forgotten that.
First thought watching that video-- brings back memories. I remember when the commercial first ran.
Second thought-- those two big spritzes of perfume she gave herself to the side of the face just before walking into the ship’s ballroom must have made her absolutely reek of fragrance, to an almost toxic level 
You mean…Shelly wasn’t just an Angel, she was actually…Charlie?
It fits!
My forever favorite perfume commercial was for Chanel No. 5 in 1979 made by Ridley Scott. Woman in a black swimsuit sitting by an azure swimming pool. An airplane flies overhead. Share the fantasy! Beautiful and classic, commercial and perfume. (As opposed to Bath & Body Works cheap stink juice.). (There’s another one with “I Don’t Want To Set the World On Fire” playing. And the shadow of the airplane.)
T-mobile commercial, Snoop Dog.
“That’s like peanut butter on jelly on gold.”
That sounds incredibly stupid. You can’t eat it. What does the PB&J do besides make a mess? Are you licking off the gold?
Apparently you know nothing about Snoop Dogg, fo shizzle.
