1985 - Calvin Klein's Obsession

[MSeverwonder]

I could tell who was a boy and who was a woman

[RedFootballJV]

Lmao. This is crazy.

[bloomindepp]

Is that Justin Beiber?? xD LOL

[TheGuardianCore]

XDDDDDDDD

"Yes. Obsession is better then love. Be obsessed, everyone.

Your Obsession is beautiful. Unique. Like a prepubescent boy fangasming over a middle aged woman."

[XOXOXOElinachka]

xD for some reason i cant stop laughing after watching this!!

[dylanfan1969]

Saturday Night Live did one called Compulsion. It was great.

[SEHANO]

These people took themselves waaaaaaay, way too seriously.

[ollieroks]

this borderline kiddy porn.

[pablowbt]

Justin Bieber 80s by Calvin Klein  hahaha

[jrmetmoi]

[reikojons]

OHHH!!! the smell of it!!

[jrmetmoi]

She does look a lot like Ingrid Bergman

[ringoichiban1]

In more than one of these the girl goes, "Save me". What's that about?

[MorbidBliss22]

.......Bieber??? Is that really you???

[Jakegothicsnake]

@MorbidBliss22 It really is uncanny......

[rose13red]

I had almost forgotten about this silly ad. I remember how confused I was when I first saw it. It still gets my vote for Most Pretentious perfume spot ever. Thanks for bringing back that memory xD

[matthewbattenfelder9]

[aspacelot]

0:08 there are 2 black pawns in the "A" row...

[ariesscorpiorising]

[ilovemostlyanything2]

did anyone think the young boy actor was cute? does anyone know his name? i was just wondering. i wonder what he looks like now. what year was this made also?

[neoarcadezr]

this commercial makes me want to buy it

[mrsjennyjonas39]

@neoarcadezr lol thats the point! XD

[icaruspnw]

I showed her - on the puppet - the place she said she must see. Fierce was my shame; yet I was fearless. I shrank from nothing. Her eyes were liquid light.  I blazed and drowned. I extended my hand and pointed - strange little doll - to the place where I longed for the Bad Man to touch me.

She doesn't call any more. It's as it must be. We don't need her, do we, Daddy?

[ariesscorpiorising]

@icaruspnw FUCKING HELL, too FUNNY!!!!! AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAH!!!

[thequesogrande]

.........BWAH HA HA HA! lol. I love the fact that Sparknotes actually has a link to this.

[InvaderBleach]

Oh jeez, that's creepy! XD

[shorti426]

[DaBigCheeseLuigi]

Anyone else get here from sparknotes?

[sydneynotaustralia]

@DaBigCheeseLuigi bahaha!  i did!

Holy shit, that's f*cking creepy.

[4SCARECROWS]

[firekorncrimson]

[Alexzandria13]

creeeeperrrrrrrr XD

[wolfselsky]

ok creepy...... o0

[78irishpride]

umm justin beiber lookalike anyone???

[dancerlegs14]

this is a tad creepy...just a tad...lol

[fairies47]

Isn't she one of Ingrid Bergman daughters? Maybe I'm wrong but I think she looks a bit like Ingrid...

[fairies47]

@fairies47 In fact, I'm wrong... Ooops!! ^^

[alk3tom]

I laugh at the fact that this was random for a perfume commercial but I love how they made it... it was actually amazing

[medexamtoolsdotcom]

Arrrgh! I don't want this! Watching this is even worse than listening to the original songs that Weird Al parodies! I want the Saturday Night Live one! Where is it????

[deduero]

Oh Josie! Josie! Josie! I can't believe you uploaded this? I remember this ad being played over and over and over at the perfume counter, and the poor ladies and gentlemen where just tired of hearing it all day, they finally put it on mute. I used to love Josie Borain's very androgenous (sorry, not very P.C.) look for that day! Thanks to Bruce Weber really promoting her during those ad campaigns back then. I loved the look, thanks for posting! 5***** for just finding it!

[MyCatWatchesMe]

Man, that is one steamy, poetic ad.!

[catsnake7]

they don't make them this good anymore

[write2ap]

I thought she was really pretty. She had a very 80's look.

Does anyone know the link for the SNL spoof of this commericial?

[FariaBhuiyan]

that was a SHE? lol

[munchkin0518]

this is like some weird skit.

[YvesIsaki]

The internet would be most grateful if someone would please post the one where she slaps this chick and says "save me". In the intro this dude says 'She was a fever from which I will never recover'.

[daytripperarrabal]

i could swear this one´s from David Lynch!!!!

[archuletaJBlove]

[moznico]

Yeah Im more likely to be wrong but the woman looks like the girl in The Smiths video How soon is Tommorrow! Probably wrong but there seems to be a resembelence...dunno just a thought...

[moznico]

Sorry meant How soon is Now? Soory wish it was tommorrow! lol

[springnut]

[springnut]

[walkerorr]

i don't get it, are they TRYING to say their perfume is for pedaphiles

[aznativethug]

what a bullshit commercial!!!!!!!

[MelanieLouM]

Why? Because it didn't involve black men grabbing their crotches and saying daaaaaaaamn! >:(

[aznativethug]

wow. fuck that! i'm not a nigger.

[nrwilliams015]

you mean moneky shit nigger.

[YvesIsaki]

Why are you being racist? Are you retarded? It's the 21st century by the way, evolve with the rest of the world, ignorant douchebag.

[miniroll32]

Hahaha!

Whatzzz up wid it vanilla face? me and ma hommies gona drop our black asses here, park our slabs outside nigga

[MelanieLouM]

What choo talkin bout, Willis??? >:)

[YvesIsaki]

Does anyone have the one where the guy says "she was a fever from which i will never recover"? I must see that! She kissed this guy and slapped the woman next to him and said "save me" and recoiled away. Anyone have that or know where to watch it?

[AnnainCA]

I'm dying to see that one, too! If anyone has it, please post.

[PreppyPoser1]

fukn women

[L3ft2D13]

she looks like a man at first

[ariesscorpiorising]

@L3ft2D13 NO she DOESNT, only fags think that. 17 gayllords put a thumbs up your ASS.

[badhorsiee]

Anyone thinks she looks just like Ingrid Bergman?

[figaro0606]

totally thinking the same thing :)

[obamadidit2008]

i do. she looks like a very young ingrid

[divinehumanism]

perhaps it's her daughter, Isabella Rossellini?

[badhorsiee]

yess! you're rightt.. I didn't know she looked exactly like Ingrid when she was young though, but now that you say it, it makes total sense

[YvesIsaki]

Idk what you guys are talking about but the model in this ad is "Josie Borain",

[divinehumanism]

Thanks!

[YvesIsaki]

Yeah, you're welcome. She was a model and looked like Gia Carangi. She stopped to become a photographer. What a shame, but if that's what's best for you.

[linav8]

I wish I could find the Compulsion skit!

[deontyk]

wow such a beautiful and inspiring ad - where are such good ads gone?

[miniroll32]

I ate them

[NYCPANCAKES]

ROFLMAO! kearnsmike you are too funny! I remember these commercials as a kid and especially enjoyed the aesthetics of it. But as an adult I'm thinking "why does this bitch need a guy to save her?"..."and whats up with the pretious dialogue"? But you made it all clear to me! :)

[kearnsmike360]

i really don't think these ads were so weird.

When i was in 2nd grade i was in love with my teacher. She taught me compassion.

she took me to the nurse and said sweet things to me when i got stung by a bee. I'll remember her always.

[Tylerpoeactionhero]

@kearnsmike360 that's creepier than this video

[videodude23]

OMG! She's BEautiful!

Does Anybody knows who's that beautiful woman's namea?

ANybody....?

Let me know.

Thanks

[kearnsmike360]

her name is josie Borain

[videodude23]

Who IS She? Model? Actress? Where She's From?

[servedraw]

peoddobear approves of this faggotry.

[LUDWIKVAN69]

what a strange stuff

[Stefan2SERB]

calvin klein is an absolute weirdo! but his clothes are great

[MelanieLouM]

Holy Mary Kay Letourneau!!! I haven't seen this commercial in years!! Is it just me or does this commercial make you feel a bit uncomfortable?? Hey little boy...don't let the pretty lady touch you in the bathing suit area...and what is it about her that smells so great..wait don't tell me!!! O_o

[bondfool]

This is hilarious when you think about that SNL parody, Compulsion.

[ukendcx2000]

the ad was really wrong in a way because it parodied on a child's obsession with a teacher. it seemed innocent though in comparison with his other ads.

[sallyfishkin]

i would be kinda embarrassed to be in this commercial.

[600SELV12]

If it wasnt for the kid's HAIR (major HA!)it would be TIMELESS.

Aah the smell of it, ahh her, I'm such a young perv! lol

[lolakaulitz215]

umm

[bulletburposmiley]

Nothing against it, but I just don't understand this commercial.

[callmeloretter]

"I loved her, and now she's gone..." Der, maybe that's his mom. Whispers at the bedside don't have to mean erotic...

[Mik5469]

tha fuck!?

[shaw9022]

..i know that little boy...he is my friend..he is now 43 years old and unemployed and is suffering deep mental anguish over this part of his life...over all you comments that you people say about him....

[launwatch]

Is that true, mental anguish?

He was 12 wasn't he,that's what Calvin said in an interview,which makes him 35. Hardly his 'fault' if they stuck him in some laughable commercial.You know him? Really??

[homerekker]

I know Justin. He works in a computer software business in Quebec. He is gay, and has a "life-partner" who is 17.....very hot with a big penis.

[DaNcEx7]

are you serious?

[electrogeek77]

I'm stunned. That's all.

[PaNicYoUrSeNsEs]

ok... this is freaking me out now... AND HOW OLD IS THAT BOY!!!!

[zebredpooding]

calvin klein is a fucking weirdo, lets just leave it at that.

[naggual]

Commercials manage a sublimminal content in order to attract the customer's attention, and in most of them, it is always a sexual content not consciously percieved by the viewer but unconsciously, yes. In the case of this commercial, it can be pedofilia and/or lesbianism. When the model finally approaches Milla, we can clearly see that the boy is really a girl.

[launwatch]

Wrong, it's a boy,suggest glasses.

[nashvilledisco]

clap, clap, clap.....ah, the smell of it!

[homerekker]

I do believe it is OK to love. Just be aware of actions. For instance, I am obsessed with turtlenecks, but without therapy, I would roam the streets and back alleys-on a fruitless hunt-only to spend time in a soup kitchen. I am surrounded by the average.  I loath the average.

[starkid77]

from her claps to the snapping sounds she made, to my turtleneck, I loved her. Where is she?

[mysticaldeath]

south africa, josie borain, one of the best models ever

[babz1991]

she's a photographer now.

[starkid77]

I too, love the sensuous sounds, smells, and claps of Obsession, especially thewhitebandana's sounds! woooooo!!

[TheWhiteBandana]

yeah i can make obsession noises too with whispering(saasehsaah.obseehhs­saah,beehhhblahehh.) lol

[SaintAlia10191]

Does this count as child abuse?

[elfpuck]

it does nowadays. people are so obsessed with sex that they think everyone wants to have sex with anyone or anything at any age, instead of just getting your rocks off and mind your own business. Yes, teenagers want to have sex. they have sexual feelings. they dont admit that, but let their daughters dress like sluts.

[homerekker]

Relax kid, they never showed any erections or penetration

[proudguy]

It depends on the gender of the victim and the perp.

So long as he will be able to pay his child support to her and so long as he is willing to die in another pointless war, we don't care about his emotional problems.

[AnnainCA]

Too funny! I don't remember this one, but there was another version with a man saying "She was a fever from which I will never recover." Does anyone have that one?

[joncrane37]

I remember these ads. This was the most pretentions advertising campagain on the face of the Earth. All it was, was a bunch of androgynous people whispering "Obsession."

[SiXELApurple]

who actually understands this? I bet the producers of this commercial were sapped for ideas, so they just looked at each other and said, "Let's just put some muddled crap together with someone whispering Obsession."

[Neospikes]

Dude, I dunno who you're supposed to have sex with after you're done puttin this crap on!

I'm afraid that a dozen 17 year old bi-sexual hermaphrodites will come over to my house, and wanna frolick, okay?

[PuffLippy06]

It was great! Nora Dunn in a gown & Jan Hooks scrubbing away on the white step... "I think a little club soda will get that out..." "LIAR!!!!!"

[PuffLippy06]

I agree with you Buddy! They were written by Diane Arbus' daughter Doon. I thought they were cool, but now they just seem hilariously pretensious. SNL did a funnt spoof called "Compulsion"

[cjd2112]

Puff, I remember that spoof. "Compulsion" by Calvin Kleen lol. Hilarious.

[BuddyL]

LOL!!!! "Ah, the smell of it!" Who would have thought the real thing would be funnier than all the parodies? This is hilarious!

[cjd2112]

OMG I remember the Calvin Klein commercial's this parody was based from. Too funny! Thanks.
