Title: Looking for Roger Davis Brut Ad
Post by: MsCriseyde on September 19, 2007, 03:11:51 AM
I'm hoping some of you who have better memories of what material is on what DS DVDs and videotapes could help me out. I'm trying to track down the Roger Davis Brut ad to use in a class -- not because it has anything to do with Roger Davis or DS but because it demonstrates something in one of our course readings about anxieties concerning "beauty" products for men.

Can anyone off the top of his/her head tell me where I can find the commercial so I don't have to root through my DS stash this evening?

Thanks!

That would be on the DS Special Edition DVD in the Commercials section of the Additional Material. You have to play the two DS film commercials first before the list including RD's commercial comes up.Though frankly they should have buried it even deeper - like maybe as an Easter Egg.  [wink2]

ROTFL. Thank you! You've just saved me a ton of time.  I was going to have to go into therapy if I devoted much time and energy to RD. ;)

When I first saw this post, MsCriseyde, I thought you wanted it in light of the blurb in the current Newsweek.  Apparently, somebody wants to sue Brut because the product does not include a warning that while you wear the aftershave, you are flammable (Yes, the genius set himself on fire while striking a match)  [kaiokn].

I'll let the Roger Davis "fans" ponder that one.

One of my students asked me if RD was someone who was famous or influential at the time. [stfl]

I maintained my composure and resisted the urge to say, "Perhaps in his own mind."
