Maybeline reckons woman just wanna shoot a Colt .45, drive a Ferrari and grow a ‘stache
Posted on 28. Sep, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
We’re assuming that the agency that made this bizarre ad for Maybeline “The Falsies” Volum’ Express mascara were thinking that they had indeed used the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack as a backing track to this ad. But they obviously shot up with a bad batch of pure Afghan muddy goo and settled for the theme music for the 80′s classic TV series Magnum PI instead. It’s truly a disturbing combination of creative ideas that totally doesn’t make sense.
Maybe it’s aimed at mid- to late thirty year-old men with a fettish for mascara, Hawaiian shirts and surfski paddling.
Just to be sure – here’s that Magnum PI intro…
…and here’s the Charlie’s Angels tune… [the music that actually fits with the visuals...and the action woman]
