Schick Quattro for Women Commercial

post #1 of 48
9/11/09 at 12:59pm
Thread Starter 
So, as we're watching TV last night, I kind of half-notice this commercial. And then at the very end, I realize what it was talking about. I look at my wife and say, "Was that referring to what I think it was?"

Here's a link to the commercial.

If you didn't "get" it, it's referring to the various way women can use the Schick Quattro to shave their pubes. Wow. I'm waiting for the program that advertises this, tampons, condoms, and Viagra/Cialis/Enzyte all in the same show.

Yes, that commercial is pretty over the top. All the strategically placed plants, or "bushs" if you will, were definitely not prime time appropriate.

With that said, who in their right mind would put FOUR razor blades on a razor? Two blades are scary enough, thank-you-very-much!

I'm surprised they didn't trim a bush down to nothing. I know several women who prefer it bald.

It's very mild, how else do you advertise a product that does that? Quite an amusing advert.

Though I will never understand women who obviously care enough to trim at all, but don't just get rid of all it. Pubic hair makes my skin crawl. Urgh.

EDIT: Posted before nekkerbee's post showed up. Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that :P

Hey, did you know that most vibrating products can also double for vibrators? It's true.

How strange. What is wrong with hair? You grow it for a reason. Can you seriously not understand why someone might trim bit not shave? Perhaps someone who does not like itching?

You grow it for a reason, sure. It's a hygiene thing, it protects from bacteria. Except for how these days we bathe regularly and it's just there, in the way.

I don't get what you say about itching - shaving it all off doesn't itch, unless you do it wrong. Leaving it there? Now that does itch, ugh.

Never can be too protected from harmful microbes, thats what I always say.


And I'll agree to disagree with you about the itching.

How can that not be appropriate for prime time? It's creative. Not overt. I'm sure what it is specifically advertising is lost on some for good reason and they are no worse for the wear. Where is our sense of humor?

I thought it was sort of like condom commercials in that way.

I mean, they show a (four bladed, yikes!) razor, and then actual bushs... between women's legs. Perhaps you could care to explain how that *could* possibly be ok for prime time?

Here's a closeup of what can happen when you have pubes:

No pubes, no crabs.

I am not pretending to be some expert in crabs, but all this hysteria over pubic hair seems a little silly. We evolved with it and survived with it for hundreds of thousands of years before the four bladed razor came along.

In fact we used to have hair everywhere, and now our heads and nether regions are among the only places left on our bodies with hair. There must be a reason

Crabs don't kill you, they're just gross. Back when people barely ever washed I guess crabs were preferable to all the bacteria and grime that would have got in without the hair to catch it.

And there is hair in other places too. Armpits, inside the nose, ears. Most of the same reason - hygiene. I'm not sure about the armpits, actually, that seems kind of pointless but I'm sure there's a reason for it.

Anyway, those reasons are outdated now. We wash and, failing that, have access to modern medical care if we get icky infections. There's no need for the fluff.

You're right about inside the nose. As for underarms, I am not sure.. heat retention?

I am surprised to see everyone saying that now we should be hairless from the neck down because we now have tools to fight microbes. I seem to recall many people saying I was being ridiculous for advocating the total elimination of spiders now that we have technology to kill insects and pests without their help. Same principal, no?

As for the fluff, I think some people just have different skin sensitivities and constantly shaving in certain areas bothers some more than others.

Start a separate pubic hair thread in the sex or culture forum, please. There's a discussion to be had but not here. This is about a commercial for getting your trim looking slim.

Guys, just don't use that trimmer on your balls if you ever find one of those razor/trimmers in your bathroom. It can go horribly wrong!

I'm not sure how anyone wouldn't get it. The voice over specifically mentions it has a bikini trimmer.

I'm partial to the airplane landing strip-style.

This spring there was a much catchier commercial out.

The first one up above isn't very subtle, but this one hits you like a hammer - and yet, it's a better commercial. I mean, they're talking about shaving pubes in both ads, so they may was well have some fun with it.

Speak for yourself. My mother's side of the family is Scottish. I don't have back hair, I have bald patches on my ribs and elbows.

Just speaking for myself, I prefer, from a strictly aestehtic standpoint, a trim look as opposed to a bald look. No that bald is bad, mind, but trim gets a few more points. Maybe it's just cuz I'm a child of the 70's/80's, when the totally shaved lok just wasn't in. It just looks. . . weird without a lil' hair down there, IMO.

Petting the bald cat at the end was an especially nice touch.

Agreed. Actually, whether there's hair down there or no, it's all good to me, as long as it's neat and clean and there's no evidence of vagina dentata (aka Teeth). 'Cause that shit's WRONG, yo.

Oh, and great commercials. I appreciate that level of honesty in an advert, so much so that, hopefully, we'll have a commercial in the near future where a girl comes up to the screen, holds up the Schick Quattro and says something like "The NEW Schick Quattro. It's for your cooch."

I think the Schick Quattro for Men is about the worst thing you can do to your face. I'd hate to imagine what horrors this leviathan can unleash on some microbe-fearing woman's ladyparts.

Let your gardens grow, gals. Don't be swayed by all the anti-pube movement and its propaganda. At the end of the day, dudes will fuck anything.

Slight derailing of the topic, but I completely agree. Men's razors seem designed to cram in as many blades as possible in order to cause my face the highest degree of pissed-off-ness. Meanwhile most lady razors have a fucking strip of lotion or something...

Or "Quatro. It's for your TWATro."
