Kylie+Lexus+drums=wank
It’s far too long. The flab hangs off the last third like the sweaty moob of a morbidly obese shut-in feasting on his third chicken tikka masala as he wishes to god he might see his genitals just one more time before his coffin is lowered into its oversized grave by a specially rigged crane.
Then the crane breaks and the coffin smashes into the hole and we all have a look to see if there’s anything we can do about the situation, but all we see is thirty stone of pasty, randomly-haired fleshmeat spread amongst the shards of oak like a duvet stuffed with ice cream.
Oh god, we say, Oh god… I will never be able to cleanse my mind of this sight, it will be with me as long as I live, haunting my days, barging its way unbidden into my thoughts like a crack-crazed paedophile, desperate to interrupt the perfect tranquility of a school sports day with his malevolent tumescence.
No! Begone, errant pederast, for I did not choose this.
Just like I didn’t choose to watch the pointless Lexus ad with Kylie and the drums.
I didn’t get the point of the drums.
I didn’t get the point of Kylie.
I still think of Lexus as the bad guy in Superman.
I didn’t think it worked.
Isn’t it ripped off from an ad for new orleans?
Nice writing Ben. Lurid, but nice.
P.S – what is with Kylie’s eyebrow?
Worked on this brief in Aus. If we had presented this a certain ECD would have had my balls in a vice in 1 second.
That and there are about 100 more interesting things about that car to talk about.
Kylie’s eye is with Kylie’s eyebrow?
Who the fuck wrote that…the client?
What agency lets that go out the door…what is the point in having a client like lexus if all they let you do is wank like that, or you could look at it the other way, why the fuck doesn’t the client fire the agency if they make absolute garbage like that!!!
Nothing says ‘quiet’ like a 40-something pop star with a new album out.
I’ve heard that the original idea got compromised by the UK client insisting, after the shoot, that Kylie get put the ad.
Kinda feel sorry for the agency and the creatives…but hey, that’s what we do nowadays…bend over and smile!
you would though.
and you’d buy a lexus at the thought of every seat being pre-warmed by kylie.
even without kylie it would have been wank
Disagree with you ‘ermm’…I’ve seen the version running in Europe…it’s a whole heap better
William Hague drives a Lexus.
That fact is all I think about when I see that ad. Now I can’t watch the Agent Provocateur ad either, because she reminds me of him.
Thanks Lexus. You utter, utter cunts.
Lovely Kylie.
I’d love to come all over her tit.
Too far?!
You can never go too far NC.
I think this was (censored) leaving a turd on the chi doormat.
What’s this obsession with revolutions at the moment. Every bloody ad has join this or join that revolution – fuck off.
Ben, I think I might buy your novel on the strength of that post.
Kylie looks as plasticky as the interior. Nice ass though apparently. Though I have been told that the Hutchence chap ruined her for other men.
Have you seen the picture of Tom Ewart in Campaign…?
Thank you Mark. You won’t regret it.
This would be the European ad then – it’s better than the Kylie version at least

Better. Still outstays its welcome.
Is CHI the new McCann’s?
The drum roll is intriguing enough, and beautifully shot. But that’s about it really.
What is it with cars and drums at the moment?

horribly nonsensical and boring ad. the sound is an issue for hybrid/electric cars. or users. but drums? and joining the revolution is en vogue since the financial crisis. all sorts of shits have asked you to join in. to revolutionise their fucking bank accounts.
kylies eyebrow? i think it had always been a bit like this. this extreme look shes sporting since some time must be caused by too much botox, injected wrongly. well know for sure if shell look less weird in some months.
I laughed so hard at that post I nearly cried.
Why do I only get knock knock jokes at home?

Shamefully pathetic. The creatives and client who were responsible for this crap shouldn’t be fired. They should be taken out and shot. Hey, Lexus. Why don’t you join the quiet revolution and shut the f**k up?
Rob…agree that the client should be shot. They’ve obviously forced the Kylie issue. And possibly the agency for giving in to such nonsense…but you can’t blame the creatives. We’re all forced to do the shit we know makes no sense but most agencies, especially ones like CHI, are only interested in taking the money…fuck whether it makes sense or will be liked, just keep the client happy.
I don’t get it.
Lots of people drumming and Kylie saying join the quiet revolution, implies that the montage of drummers ‘is’ the quite revolution. But they are not quiet. They are drumming and drumming, as we all know, is loud.
i hated it at drums.
i hated hated hated it at drums.
cos you could see what they were doing.
then kylie came in
then i really really really hated hated hated it.
and then it never ended.
my ad would have just had kylie running an old, blind lady over, laughing what’s left of her tits off.

Kylie’s drumming fingers segue is inspired.
Kylie can take me for a ride any day.
Drum roll please….
A luxury car in which Kylie looks like she’s uncomfortably struggling to reach the pedals.
