CK "banned" ad

[fchrgl]

the blond kid is taylor hawkins from foo fighters

[sofiaphilippi]

awkward....

[adrsya]

creepy, yes. but ingenious nevertheless. i can't think of any other ad which sends a chill down my spine like this one. simply authentic.

[antman23p]

so this is where twin shadow got it from....

[tc4806]

I WORK OUT!!!!

[9SweetiePie7]

why hellooooooo august ;)

[eottoe2001]

These really are creepy. Are these the ones from Badgerway Advertising?



[AlicelnWonderIand]

Nice interviews before making a porn

[flaviucretiu]

:)))))))



[SolonQuinnStudios]

I think the NEW 2012 BANNED Calvin Klein commercial is MUCH WORSE. I think it's a sequel to this campaign that they brought back.

[Kiddalee]

These videos are based on a genre of porn that was around in the '60s, and the models are teenagers.

[stefanienava]

In an interview for "Index" magazine back in 2000, Bijou refers to the this ad as "kiddy porn", as she was only 14 years old when she did this. She says that the guy interviewing may have actually been Ron Jeremy.

[Hauuauuauuu]

the people calling the cameraman "gay" are idiots since he is clearly bi? :/

[killahking8]

3:27 Guy looks like one of the guys from "The Warriors", Or he in one of those gangs.

[killahking8]

GAY!

[18luvania]

I'm doing my term paper on CK's advertising, and this 1995 campaign in particular... this video creeped me out so much! I have a better sense of what to write now though!

[PinkSkiiTtLeZzYoanNa]

holy crap...

"you have a lovely body. do you work your body?"

those people are also pretty weird. this is just disturbing. what is up with the long haired blond guy biting his lip while the interviewer asked gay questions? lmao

[alehax27]

The interviewer asked some creepy questions. Strong weirdo.

[HaileyVerge]

The narrator seems to be gay. He also seems to be a serial killer and this was the video he made before killing his victims :/

[MildKiss]

The man who was interviewing them is a pedophile.

[deathwish001]

Yet they sold a shit load of pants when it was on the TV.

[captainkarma212]

The Italian girl is Hot the rest is gross

[Smilzetta]

creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyy!!!!

[Marianciata]

OH MIO DIO EVA GRIMALDI!

[kameilkane]

@Marianciata Che tra l'altro manco capisce quello che gli dice l'intervistatore. P.S.: ho letto dal daveblog. :)

[Marianciata]

@kameilkane quando l'ho vista, ho subito saputo di dover condividere questa perla, se non con l'analista, almeno con daveblog X°D

[divineagent]

wow this is really pretentious.

[schranztech]

I'd never buy that with this kind of commercial

[Morphae]

I don't get it

[JenniferHUE]

so weird! what the heckkk

[rtrotter984]

What the fuck was that?!?!?? That was fucked up man. Fucking weirdo

[buddahqueen1]

This dude is creepy as hell.

[chihoagogo]

I love these ads! I find them edgy and provocative. The only sad part is the actual jeans look boring as hell.

[SphinctersForever]

Wow, I hadn't seen these, but they are kinda cool in an odd way. I do see how there is a deep creepiness to some of the questions and awkward responses. It almost seems like something a murderous pervert would set up in his elderly mother's basement.

[lginpdx]

Brandon is effing adorable!

[itzfiyahh]

uh huh they look good on you ya uh huh

[JenniferHUE]

@itzfiyahh hahahahha

[PrincessFirefighter]

I didn't know what true discomfort felt like....until I watched these.

[lilbennyt]

august cant act either

[lilbennyt]

im originally from roma" so sxy

[lilbennyt]

the 2nd kid didnt act properly he kept answering the weirdos questions to quick

[Chemicat]

What the hell...??

[TXejas19]

whoa! i'd hate too repeat this but it is CREEPY!....first and last guys were cute, i wish i could have seen them under better circumstances, you know, like when they're not about body snatched and bludgeoned to death

[uranne]

creepy!

[md991free]

@uranne I remembered when this ads came out in 1995, it scandalized American, but made CK more popular than ever. It goes to show that sometimes, controversies does make money!!!

The ads were quickly remove from television and magazines.

[albinoelf]

That was really, really creepy.... cue slasher music!

[Whoisreading]

Yeah, Creepy indeed, seems like videos from a serial killer before mudering his victims.

[mediattackrecords]

@Whoisreading why so? i think its sort of focused GRUNGE capitalism

[mediattackrecords]

@mediattackrecords the colors are great.

[2012Apophis]

I bet those apron wearing Hiram abiff worshippers love it....fucking homo's

[smurfelunn]

creeeeeepy as fuck!

[Ranger099]

2:02 looks like a very young Bijou Phillips

[laserrenegade78]

@Ranger099 I was thinking that too!

[ollieroks]

If you don't think this is creepy then you must be a petafile.

[doodl3bugg13]

It can get a bit creepy at times, but they don't seem to be too offensive. Also, the guy sounds like Jeff Bridges.

[RetroToledo]

I don't remember hearing anywhere of these being banned, but I did see them a lot.

[TurnYourBrainOn2]

That guys voice is sexy. I wouldn't mind him telling me what to do.

[m46279]

Awesome. So many of you just have zero artistic sensibilities.

[shezzallee]

the guy doing the voice over is creepy and sick......I just hope it isn't real......:(

[rottenraven517]

omg this is not CK stuff. dumb people

[TacosRyouFriends]

this is so bad! so wrong o.o

[camigyrl16]

why is this SO CREEPY?!

[dreamer921618]

very bad

[dreamer921618]

wow... this is whooooowww 

[Granger10Sherlock]

This is very very very bad :O

[PradaHore]

yeah that was messed up . . . . . . who the hell calls their kid August?

[lostidentity99]

This is creepy, soo child pornography ,and the guy's voice

[AllTheBrightness]

Kinda reminds me of crappy pornsites.

[MithrilFist]

They all died.

[MithrilFist]

THEY ALL DIED

[protogurl0801]

Well this is creepy. :|

[retsamcm]

It looks like my basement. Mmm. Good times.

[metlhed7]

joey, have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison

[saitojharry]

freakin' creepy....

[dedpxl]

I feel violated watching this lol.

[mission762008]

I can just see it now...

Ad Exec: "Hey I got an idea. We set it in a creepy old dank basement, with a faceless narrator who is either insane or perverted or both interviewing his next victim before he rapes or murders them or both.!"

CK Exec: "What does that have to do with jeans?"

AD Exec: "Well you see at the very end before he rips them off and stabs them with either his penis or a knife...or both we will falsh a picture of the logo!

CK Exec: "Brillant...I love it, go with it"

[etheoharis]

WTF is this shit?!?!?

[eatmyshorts2007]

this is a snuff film...

[funky3ddy]

..and then two naked bodybuilders with giant erect cocks come out and initiate orgy.

[NevaehLight]

These were creepy, especially when he asks "how old are ya? eww

[Timeforthaunted]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The second to last, I'd watch the whole video lol

[wallace074]

This is absolutely terrifying. I could barely make it through the whole thing.

[Sockattak]

:(

[damniellemonster]

I kinda feel like i'm watching the beginning of a snuff film.

[lidarivers]

Then someone else said; "but how can we afford Jeff Bridges!?"... the creepy idea guy goes, "We can pay him in young men & women!"

[lidarivers]

Okay, first of all, is that fucking Jeff Bridges?! That totally sounds like Jeff Bridges playing the role of the creepy ass pedophile, filming these poor young people right before he rapes and kills them... Second of all - WHOSE fucking idea was it to make these commercials?!? Some fucker with a comb over stood up at the meeting and said: "Hey I've got it! Let's get Jeff Bridges to film young men and women, ask them questions about their jeans and such! That's not creepy at all!"

[blackhorse099]

@lidarivers This guy doesn't sound like Jeff Bridges. He sounds like the actor Dermot Mulroney.

[Chaaxwvn]

@lidarivers His name was Lou Maletta

[pics2share]

Probably pulled because they were so incredibly boring and vapid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[syderwarp]

LMAO!!!!



[supravista]

I thought these were pretty damn hot in the 90's

[morsolodiazs]

Creeeeepy.....really, when i thought the nineties was about happiness and jettas

[kirstinxxcouture]

CREEPIEST DIRECTOR EVER AH

[AgileMuffin]

sounds like a porn director

[MARKAVEL1]

hopefully the skinny azz dudes in this commercial got paid so they can afford a meal.

[SleepWhenIamDead]

...this is so awesome...CK really pushes the envelope....

[psycobilly1959]

ha ha

[hd0t]

definitely has that serial rapist/serial killer/child molester vibe... i'm more curious as to why CK chose to do this though. i'm assuming it these commercials were influenced by some infamous current event/crime that was going on back then...? or maybe not.

this is a very risque/bold commercial, but i could care less that these were banned either way, but i do understand why some would want them banned. to each their own.

[skaterbalty]

jesus christ its like the biging of a fucking psyco movie

[XxpsychokittydxX]

reminds me of how people act in porn or something right before the people start to have sex.....

[TheBoy046]

well that's fucking weird

[SkylarMayCast]

thats kinda pedophlia....

[hollywoodtexan]

It's so funny that people don't see the irony and satire of these commercials. Sex always sells in advertising - that was the bottom line. These commercials were expertly shot to be ironic. Those that don't get it and condemn the commercials for being pedo-happy need to put the bible down, stop watching and don't decide for the rest of us what is acceptable.

[dedpxl]

@hollywoodtexan

Maybe we disagree with them because it's a different time now, what you're describing about irony and rebellion sounds very 90's-ish.

You can't say we need to conform to old ways of viewing things, that's stupid.

Why don't we start agreeing with racism since alot of people did back in the 30's?

See what I mean.

[hollywoodtexan]

@dedpxl No. I don't "see" what you mean. Sorry. The 30's? Racism?! What are you talking about?! Get back to me when you make a valid argument. Have a great day.

[TheBaconlaser]

Calvin Klein, raping and murdering adolescent actors since 1968.

[EnvelTheTrader]

2:05 <3

[beernpizzalover]

The fourth person they interviewed - the second gal - was pretty hot!

She sounded like she was South African; hope she was over 18...

[RahKitty]

Wow, so much make-up I could wade my feet in it. ><

[skinnypuppy81]

i love this:)

[rayrayray911]

this was gay and creepy at the same time.  It almost made my skin crawl

[shortlimb1]

@rayrayray911 WORDD!

[McHuffyCad]

Why is it banned

[skeatdwyr]

@McHuffyCad

Um...let's see...they were trying to sell jeans with thinly veiled child-rape fantasy. Key quote..."do you ride horses in those jean's?" Answer: "I usually ride in a bathing suit." Like, for realz? You gotta ask what are they really selling here.

[shortlimb1]

@McHuffyCad back then people had this thing called morale.. pfft.. God? is she kidding!? :O

[JohnLRice]

Creepy . . . I remember seeing them when they first aired. 

[mediattackrecords]

The battle between the sexes needs to end. Alot of it comes from chauvinist and religious values that impose guilt on people for wanting SEXUAL AND EMOTIONAL FREEDOM of the EGO to explore their inner desires and needs. I think i was wall dust.

[hilldom1231]

it seems as if it was filmed in some creepers basement. like tricks models into coming into his house to do a "photoshoot" and then he kills them. that's some lovely bones shit right there.

[mediattackrecords]

@hilldom1231 duh. if you cant see the working class style and the complement the directors giving the models as industry standard politeness you have a minus zero ego for the modeling business.

[supereyespy1]

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaahaghahhaahahahahahahaahahh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............­..............



[Axehand]

I honestly don't see what's wrong with these ads. People just need to chill out a little.

[mediattackrecords]

@Axehand

I AGREE. people get so uptight about sexism they start becoming sexist, sexually prejudiced, and controlling themselves.

[Axehand]

@mediattackrecords It's ridiculous - people see something wrong with these ads because they want to.

[jonwiley]

I like to think I'm open minded about most things, but these segments do creep me out, too. But that was the idea, yes? I will say that Italian woman was adorable

[kumiwanakilya00]

wow wow wow, u guys are fucking weird to like this video. I bet the guy who posted it didn't even like it.

[eddy23170]

@kumiwanakilya00 we haven't even shown you weird yet...

[13boodah]

Omg that was the creepiest thing i ever seen in my life :/

[TheDowntown86]

"it rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again"

[blackhorse099]

OH. MY. GOD. no freaking wonder this was banned.

......i think i'm scarred forever now.

that guy behind the camera sounded like a pedo serial killer.

excuse me while i go take a 3 hour shower to wash away the feeling this gave me.

[TheDowntown86]

"you have pretty blue eyes.....what's your name?"

PEDOOOOOOOOOO alert

[SupernalOne]

Calvin Klein is fucked up - don't buy their products, boycott these fuckwads -- trying to sell merchandise by invoking homemade porn productions - bunch of chickenhawks in CK's advertising department, and the corporate execs who OK'd them are amoral bastards - do you hope to have children one day, and is this the kind of commonplace scenario you want them to take as normal? We pimp our own children by accepting this exploitative bullshit - oh, wait, is was banned - somebody had some sense :)

[lionel21000]

Terrible! Glad it didn't waste everyones time on TV

[supravista]

@lionel21000 they DID air...

[isaiahogud31]

soo homo



[sukkel0012214214221]

this looks more like a porn audition....

[Jamesscalise]

And then they were all murdered and stuffed behind the walls.

[Jamesscalise]

And then they were all murdered and stuff behind the wall

[xSaz1986x]

my god this advert is f**king creepy....why on earth would this make you want to buy jeans? The guy sounds like a creep when talking...

[blueribbonbunny]

Am i the only person who thinks the girl at 2:00- 2:20 looks like Parker Posey?

[EricZamarripa]

@blueribbonbunny yes! it looks just like her.

[cantwait2look]

who does the off camera voice?

[crysjumar1]

Holy Shit! Does it get any creepier?

[crysjumar1]

pedofile much?

[Xervania]

Odis or whatever just made my jaw dropped =O

[chaosrave]

what kind of pedo ads.....

[CountBleck0]

The last two are the best!

[kikkerboy79]

the girl from italy is eva grimaldi she s born in 1961 so she was not so young in this spot

[lalokitah101]

what a perrrrrrv!!!!

[YmustTh3w0rldG0r0und]

this seems like the sick twist sadistic murderer taping his victims in their last moments

[jason423234]

is it just me or is the camera guy giving off the pedo vibe?

[fivepointsix]

@jason423234 i think it's just you. you should seek medical help before you your twisted mind starts telling you to kill prostitutes.

[FireFlysNeverDie]

What the fuck? This does not make me want to buy pants.

[davidhickland]

why is it banned

[spareaxe]

What a pedofile!

[slimturnpike]

who did the off-camera voice? funny as hell

[beernpizzalover]

@slimturnpike Yeah, that voice is also familiar as hell. Anyone know who it is?

[hagenar]

None of these people were ever seen again.

[beernpizzalover]

@hagenar LOL!

[syderwarp]

@hagenar ROFL =D



[mpr330cd]

@hagenar the woman at 1:01 and 2:20 it's Eva Grimaldi and in Italy she's a very famous and known actress... She's in television since 1983 and acted in lots of films, TV shows and fictions... Just before this she'd worked in some movies together with Gerard Depardieu. In time, her last appearance was in the fiction "il peccato e la vergogna" from 2010 with an huge audience sucess.

[RetroToledo]

@mpr330cd At least she got in one of these ads over here if that's the best we saw of her stateside.

[cnwesner]

your right this is creepy as hell

[SugarMountain15]

This is fucking creepy.

[nfexp]

This dude is a homo perv siko!

[nickness126]

Haha! love it!

[jelai2000]
