Apr 15 2009Highly Questionable: 'Mow The Lawn' Ad
This is the second in a series of highly questionable commercials (tulips on the mound -- WTF?!) for the Shick Quattro For Women TrimStyle with Bikini Trimmer. Which, if you couldn't tell by the name, is a beaver cleaver. Now I'm not going to go into the racial stereotypes presented in this commercial, but needless to say there were some. Admittedly, I do like to keep myself trimmed. And my ladyfriends too. And not just because it won't reach if we both aren't, but that's totally why. Also, what's up with the perfectly spherical bush? Do you women actually do that? Pictures or it didn't happen.
Thanks to Abbo and Eric the Cleric, who don't use razors because they have lasers. That, uh, that sounds scary, guys.

6. Daisy - April 15, 2009 3:55 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where a kid with hands made out of scissors moved in next door. Everyone in the neighborhood thought he was a freak until he started cutting their shrubs for them.
7. dannyboy - April 15, 2009 3:55 PM
So, wait, this is a real commercial? Did they hire the College Humor guys?
8. vincent - April 15, 2009 4:02 PM
Why do you consistently post shit that is at least a month old? And yet you still have readers. I'm confused.
9. Madgame - April 15, 2009 4:04 PM
I only shave points
10. GladtoSay - April 15, 2009 4:07 PM
LOL the bald cat at the end made that whole commercial that more epic !

12. blackheart - April 15, 2009 4:16 PM
ugh
13. Mattastic - April 15, 2009 4:20 PM
Look at the end of the commercial (.uk). I bet this is a Europe only add.
14. blackheart - April 15, 2009 4:22 PM
also, Vincent, not all of us live in our parents basement and have all day to scour the entire internet for the most up-to-date lol-news. Geekologie does a pretty damn good job at keeping me entertained, old or not. Get a life.
15. BrandNew - April 15, 2009 4:22 PM
@ 8:
Not all of us have time to skim the internet for hours every day looking for every new video....I love this site because the links and commentary hilarious. Go work on your own blog
16. chris "sanchez" - April 15, 2009 4:25 PM
WHAO!

@8, if you can't say somthing nice...... die.
17. jean - April 15, 2009 4:26 PM
@vincent: you definitely suck
18. MacMaster - April 15, 2009 4:29 PM
Yeah, the stereotype of the hairy black pussy and the tiny asian pussy what not lost on me either. Kind of rude, but I guess its all tongue-in-lips.
19. jose arcadio bundia - April 15, 2009 4:36 PM

28. Valerie - April 15, 2009 5:12 PM
Wow... I was mildly interested in giving this product a try, but now I'm so offended and, frankly, grossed out that I won't be using ANY of their products. Way to not be funny at all, schick douches.
29. AtomicSquid - April 15, 2009 5:14 PM
Damn catchy song...now I'm singing it around the office...

You know what's not old news?
Vincent = Suck
34. Biscuit - April 15, 2009 5:26 PM
I wish they made more commercials like this. I know there's probably parents screaming "the children! we can't be this flippant about our bodies!" but really? Which one is going to "mess" (wtf geekologie?) with our childrens' sexuality more...an overtly sexy (is that even possible??) ad with real nakedness etc. hanging everywhere, with no explicit verbal content, or ads like this and the viagra ones...weird yes, but unless your kid is a perve, no 6 yr old is going to be thinking of anything other than cats and the backyard.
35. Orc - April 15, 2009 5:28 PM
WE DON' LIEK DEM BUSHES, WAAAAGH
36. CreepyPerv - April 15, 2009 5:28 PM
My favorite part is the part where she says she likes to look at her "tulips" on the mound but what she really means is her "two lips" on her mons bubis, and by that she means her vagina. Thats the part I like most.
37. -Lmega5- - April 15, 2009 5:33 PM

The french version, which after all doesn't convey any racial stereotypes, and to have a good beat. But the consterning idee is the same.
http://www.paperblog.fr/1698221/wilkinson-ma-garden-party/
for you boys a home-made very approximativ translation (I can't translate very well all those garden words ok?) :
Cut, cut , short for my winter garden, I invited all my friends for a huge garden party. Let's mow [mower = clipper in french] to begin, to clear, to prune the hedges. Then doing the weed killing, what my man calls damned grass. "Hi ladies, what can I start with? A metro ticket, or something more fashionable?". When it's short, that's more smart, more glamourous in front of the mirror (x2).
When it's short that's more smart, in front of the mirror. More glamourous, more diamonds, when you're kissing me. Lol, you fury whithout fur, to stuff into the thickets. To to my garden party, to to my garden party.
Cut like a heart, cut like a arrow, no need Cupidon to get you anymore. My french-style garden [jardin à la française], you will never flee in front of me again, Landscape gardener of my panties. You're slidieng on my tulip, my Lys flower, it's a delight, of which you're never fed up when you're kissing. "Don't count of me, don't touch my fern. I keep my crazy weeds, I'm very proud of them. " You're irritating, that's ugly, you're rustic. You're prickling, that's ugly, ugly and I don't like it.
When it's short that's more smart, in front of the mirror. More glamourous, more diamonds, when you're kissing me. Lol, you fury whithout fur, to stuff into the thickets. To to my garden party, to to my garden party.
"Be careful, automatic water spray activated. When that's clipped, that's ok men, no decompression sas."
When it's short that's more smart, in front of the mirror. More glamourous, more diamonds, when you're kissing me. Lol, you fury whithout fur, to stuff into the thickets. To to my garden party, to to my garden party.

44. Moose Knuckle - April 15, 2009 6:10 PM
With all the differing opinions on this post, you'd think we'd at least be able to get behind one thing...
Snatch!

49 - Yeah damnit! Although I did see it, and it's giggle worthy. But it didn't get the "flame wars" vid out of my head =)
51. todders - April 15, 2009 7:14 PM
Yeah, every girl needs to trim their bush, yadda, yadda, yadda...

@40
Thanks for that link,
I think the french one too it a step further, they're really not trying to be PG. That's what I love about Europe. That songs pretty catchy as well =D
61. Tunio_the_french_one - April 16, 2009 4:59 AM
@40
The translation is quite good, even if it's not possible to render all the jokes.
I had already posted that vid in a comment when GW talked us about the first commercial.
@60
I do confirm it's a step further, but it's not going on tv for the moment, only on radio, especially "Virgin Radio" with a funny animator of the morning broadcast asking girls about their bushes :)
62. vincent - April 16, 2009 10:13 AM
@blackheart - I live in a studio apartment in Manhattan.
@jean & @bluemanda - I actually don't. I just use computers all day at work, like I assume 90% of people aged 22-45 do. I expect a blog with so many readers to have more up to date humor. I'm sorry I offended you two.
