FetishFuel: Advertising

redirected from FetishFuel.Advertisements

Interspecies erotica: perhaps the last taboo left inviolate by advertising. Sure the Caramel bunny flirted but you knew she never put out.
The Hard Sell (advertising column in the Guardian), on the topic of the Orangina advert below.

Sex Sells, right? But sex for a lot of people is their fetish. On the other hand, advertising companies don't necessarily realize that what one person thinks is cute and funny, another finds to be a turn-on.

Compare other Fetish Fuel.
Examples:

  • A German ad for Tampax brand tampons involves a woman, naked except for white panties and goggles, being sprayed with red liquid. The camera zooms in on her torso, then her face being covered with the red liquid, then zooms back out to display her still pristine white panties, despite being otherwise completely covered in the "blood".
  • This Sunsilk commercial. Tied to a chair with quite a lot of rope, and having her hair "tortured". Did I mention she was tied to a chair with a lot of rope?
  • There was a European commercial for fruit and vegetables that had them popping and dripping all over women's faces.
  • There's a current camera advert filling a street with bubbles.
  • The Orangina advertisements. It's like the ad crew, when asked to create an animal mascot group that would appeal to adults, went online and downloaded as much Furry porn as they could, for reference. Words cannot do it justice.
  • The Caramel rabbit, also mentioned in the page quote, was a silky-voiced anthropomorphic mascot shown in a few Cadbury adverts in the UK in the 90s. Recently the company have brought her back and magazine adverts showing her new (and to some, uncomfortably transvestite-like) style have begun appearing again and planting the seeds of confusing feelings once more. At the time of writing she is plastered fifty feet high on the side of the IMAX cinema outside Waterloo Station in London, a giant beacon of pure macrophilia.
  • I'm guilty to have various time used Lets Meet The Meat type of ad as inspiration for voraphiliac fantasm. Just switch the kid predator with a grown up girl and you have the recipe of a big ride.
  • The new Gillette commercials seem to have done the same thing as the Orangina advertisements above.
  • There was a commercial for Hardee's in which people are "measuring" how big their mouths are - by stuffing their fists, or a huge stack of straws. An article for Slate even comment on how they managed to get this one in general hours.
  • Apparently, people have a fetish for the e-surance spy-girl. Or so I heard Or does this go into the Animation section?
    • And there is the commercial with the guy being toonized, and obviously harboring a crush on the aforementioned spy-girl.
    • This Troper always found Erin Surance vaguely attractive, however had no idea at just how common this was until using Google image search for "esurance" and not needing to add anything else.
    • The most shocking thing is just how much of it pairs her with the Geico gecko and the Aflac duck
    • This straight female troper would gladly become a toon and "switch sides" for her. Particularly in the new commercial in that art gallery, she is just too hot for words.
    • This troper doesn't swoon over Erin Surance often, but couldn't help but do so during the Star Trek commercial. Animated in CGI and wearing a form-fitting space suit? Can't go wrong there!
  • In the same vein as Erin Esurance, Flo, from the Progressive ads is also a popular subject of Rule 34.
  • Ballpark had a commercial in which a guy was stuffing a Hot Dog down his throat while moaning about how "girthy" it is - a term generally only used in certain... contexts nowadays.
  • Subservient Chicken, anyone?
  • The Herbal Essences commercials. Because some people find even fake orgasms hot.
  • Some found the infamous Sixteen Tons pro-coal commercial for GE hot - with the half-naked, coal-dust smeared models in faded jeans and mining helmets.
  • For people who like pregnant women, this Pampers advert is Fetish Fuel incarnate.
    • There's also the Dove commercial with scantily clad women, pregnant or otherwise.
    • There's also a brand of non-alcoholic beer (can't remember which) that did adverts with very attractive looking, and pregnant, women in bikinis. Probably intended to refer to the fact that many beer adverts have bikini-clad women in them and non-alcoholic beer isn't harmfull to fetuses.
  • Doublemint Twins.
  • This troper recalls an ad for low-fat cheese that pictured a shapely woman in a tight mousegirl costume, saying she needed to "watch her figure"... A tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
  • Heineken Keg commercial with beer-filled robot women. Enough said.
  • The infamous Carls Jr. commercials with Paris Hilton in a skimpy black outfit washing a car is considered hot by a certain section of the populace.
    • The male section.
      • The male section that finds Paris Hilton hot. This troper, and most males he knows, do not fall into this category, including a former high school history teacher who described her as having the body of a 12 year old boy. This troper agrees with that assessment.
  • The commercials for Axe often show women (and in one case, a leather-clad man) getting hot and bothered, and jumping the man who wears this. Unfortunately for guys that buy into it, it doesn't exactly work that well, and it doesn't smell all that great.
    • In moderation, it really does. I'd only buy it if... Is the leather-clad man particularly attractive at all?
      • Nah, he's your stereotypical Hell's Angels biker (tall, heavy-set, grimy).
      • It's turning on somebody. Maybe me.
    • Same goes for the Lynx commercials - pretty much the same brand under a different name - in the UK. Except for the one where the guy's suddenly made out of chocolate and all the women want to eat him. He also has a really freaky perma-grin. This is probably Nightmare Fuel for pretty much everybody.
      • It would be Fetish Fuel if he didn't have such a creepy grin/strange face.
    • There is a new series of AXE commercials where a man is turned into a living chocolate statue by their new scent. Women end up breaking off pieces and eating them or simply biting into him.
  • A shaving commercial with a man going all the way to shaving his head inspired a new generation of Cueball fetishism.
    • Oh jeez, there's a name for that fetish? Phwoar.
      • Did I just make a new name for a fetish?
      • You, my dear friend, are now a god. Revel in it.
  • Speaking of Cueball, Mr. Clean was designed to have the earring and shaved head specifically to invoke desire from bored housewives via his (for the time) different appearance.
    • Of course, he could have been fetishized because he was a man that did house work.
      • I think this deserves to go here.
      • Oh thank God I thought I was the only one.
      • Similarly is the Mercedes Benz commercial with the man and woman from the future; both of whom are cueballs. And I actually rather liked the woman.
  • Nearly every shampoo or bath soap commercial features naked women that just barely cover what we want to see.
    • That's just plain old Fan Service, no fetish to looking at half-naked models.
      • Then consider the recent Dove bodywash commercial featuring a fully-clothed woman who is in the middle of a soapy lather in her shower. Certainly got MY attention.
  • This unknown troper accidentally revealed her centaur-fetish to several of her more strait-laced friends the first time she saw A Certain Old Spice Commercial. Granted, intentionally idiotic dialog is typically a turn-off to the Nth degree, but still ...
    • The sex columnist Dan Savage has stated in his column that he thinks that that commercial alone will create a whole lot of new centaur festishists
  • Any ad for Johnsons' baby oil. Judging by the presence of the naked sexy woman in their latest ad, they've given up trying to hide it.
    • "KY. No, we don't know what else it's for either." (I forget where that's from...)
  • This McDonald's commercial (specifically the one-second shot at about 0:19) seems to have inspired an entire generation of foot fetishists.
  • The latest ads for Foxy Bingo don't feature anything explicitly dirty, but the realistic fox costume really caught the attention of many furries. And yes, this troper has seen smut art of him.
    • Red? Is that you? Nice suit and cane, too.
  • This troper, years ago, saw an infomercial for a set of Mexican music CD's multiple times. In one of the first scenes of the infomercial, a sexy woman, shown from the shoulder up, takes a robe off, and then the scene cuts to a shot of her legs with the robe coming down. (Not too long after, she is shown in a dress, which implies that she was wearing that under, though that hardly takes away from the effect.) In a similar infomercial, one of the women lays down on a sofa and winks at the camera. To this troper, winking is flirting, to the point of creeping him out if it's done by the wrong person.
  • The new m&m's premium commercial with the green m&m dancing around and licking chocolate off her fingers suggestively all will being showered with little m&ms like flower petals. Hotness!!
  • This troper refuses to believe that this Sony commercial was not designed to appeal to foot fetishists.
  • A new Hotels.com commercial has a fat man in a tub with two men blowing into the water with straws. This troper will not believe anyone who tells me that this was made without realizing the homoerotic overtones. How they managed to air this ad during football (American) is beyond me.
    • Easy: It's a Mel Brooks reference.
  • There's a commercial for Bubbulicious gum that involves a woman whose breasts deflate whenever she blows a bubble. Breast inflation fetishists are probably going nuts.
  • Jessica Alba is taking part in an election-year advertisement campaign designed to get out the vote by comparing not voting to muzzling yourself. She demonstrates this on her good friend Hayden Panettiere.
    • The fact that she's wearing all black (including black gloves) is probably related to this
  • Some fast food company made an ad featuring a hot blond(e?) chick eating a burger while riding a mechanical bull.
  • There's an advert which features an extremely hot girl in a black catsuit who turns into a motorcycle with the song Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy playing in the background, and throughout the ad she's doing very sexy poses and not to mention that some biker person is riding her when she's seen as a motorcycle.
  • Virgin Active, a group of gyms in the UK, ran an advert show a big female backside bulging out of a leotard, clearly implying that going there would make your rear smaller. They forgot that some people like big bottoms and cannot lie...
  • The first one in an ongoing series of ads for a Finnish betting agency involved a pair of anthro horses in an office surfing on the 'net for pictures of non-anthro horses. Other than the obvious implications, the non-anthro horse shown in the commercial is also apparently a stallion as well. See it here.
  • This. Cat people! Highly athletic cat people! It looks like the setup to an action flick, frankly, but everyone has a cat head.
  • The actress playing Flo in the Progressive Auto Insurance commercials is genuinely baffled by the amount of ... attention that her character gets, insisting that she plays her completely asexually. Her quirky and playful persona and retro look attracts attention of the type that is unanticipated, though probably not unwelcome, to Progressive execs.
    • It may be because she's pleasant and perky, but this (straight) female troper finds that name tag thing... alluring.
    • This troper thinks the commercials are an attempt at Moe.
  • A recent commercial for the new LG Dare cell phone features a woman edging along one of the top floors of a skyscraper looking very sweaty and frightened and determined to reach that phone. Her cute little green dress doesn't help either.
  • While any thing involving Eliza Dushku is enough for me, This recent Hulu commercial is beyond description...
  • There was a series of Coors Beer ads featuring gigantic men and women playing around in the mountains way back when. This troper has a bad case of macrophilia, so...yeah.
  • A recent, banned, commercial from Pe TA features naked or otherwise barely clothed women licking, molesting, rubbing against, and other more obvious things with some of the more phallic vegetables (and a pumpkin!) for about a minute.
  • The new Old Navy ads featuring talking mannequins can be somewhat appealing if you have an inanimate TF fetish...Or So I Heard.
  • Compare The Meerkat viral marketing for a car insurance website that uses an spoof Anthropomorphic Meerkat Dating Service you can probably guess the rest.
  • Jillian Michaels, the dream girl of those who have a fetish for tough, athletic women, has an online ad that features a picture of her posing, in all of her rather provocative glory, and is captioned, "How big is your weightloss goal?" The ad could seem to suggest that the viewer has something else that is "big" upon seeing her.
  • This new Burger King commercial.
  • Charlize Theron walking toward the camera, stripping, like she wants to have angrysex with whoever's on the other side of it.
  • The "Wrap yourself in something special," ads by Emba Mink. The pictures never made it clear if they meant the coats wrapping around the girls, or the girls wrapping around the guys.
  • This Capri Sun spot, which has a young Asian girl's hands and feet turned into whoopee cushions. Some kind of weird crossover between bondage, Lolicon, and inflation. And why the lingering shots of her feet?
  • This LG Electronic Express commercial. Hot woman, in heels and nice dresses, wielding power tools and destroying things. There's also another, more fetish-y version.
  • I'm not sure where to put this, and I don't have the link, but on a recent cover of Entertainment Weekly, Ryan Reynolds posed shirtless in swimming trunks, a snorkel and goggles, and water-wings. This is apparently supposed to show that he is uncomfortable with being labeled a sex symbol, but I don't buy that (at least not from the photographer's and editors' points of view). Thank you, Ryan, now I'm going to develop some sort of water-wing fetish or something...
    • It's small but here it is. [1]
      • Yes, please.
  • This Troper stumbled onto a commercial for a Mattress liner that has a female bear who rolls around with the liner suggestively - suggesting that she's naked, she looked like a cross between Julie Bruin and Cindy Bear and the costume was well done.
    • For that matter, mattress commercials in general. Beautiful women lying down looking veeeeery contented... especially in the skintight translucent bodysuits...
  • This very wiki sometimes has this ad appear. Your Mileage May Vary (this troper doesn't think she's that cute) but a woman in a bikini demanding that you obey... suuuure that's innocent.
  • This Troper was fortunate enough to catch the tail-end of a commercial a few months ago. It involved an attractive young woman with long, wavy, black or dark brown hair, and an orange tank top, preparing for a morning jog. As she sits up in bed, her bedsheets began sliding across the bed towards her. The bedsheets wrap themselves around the woman's chest and try to pull her back down, but to no avail. She then breaks free and the commercial ends. WHAT the commercial was advertising, this Troper (regretfully) can't remember.
