Pretending to be the modern feminist while still maintaining the good little woman role. I hated that ad too. "Bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, but never let you forget you're the man" Fuck that.

6. That's the short version of the ad... |
|
I remember more lines. Can't remember them exactly, but it basically said she could get home on time to read the kid a story and then how she could please her man. I hated that commercial too. It presented a sickening superwoman to make all the real-life women watching it feel like they couldn't measure up.

8. Eeek, what a horrible memory. |
|
My first ex-husband bought me that crap after seeing that very commercial. I need to cross-post in the "smells that make you ill" thread.

13. Wow; that's right. She made it count, too. |

But that Enjoli ad was dreadful, I remember it all too well.

That was the one where the woman would walk along with some dude in a suit and casually pat him on the ass, right?

17. This Charlie perfume ad doesn't have butt patting. |
|
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5juK-UrgJG0Maybe there is another ad for Charlie perfume which does.

19. I saw the ad as a little kid, and I could remember some of the lyrics, but... |
|
...I never knew what product the ad was for until recently.
