When My Man Puts On His Stratos, I Know He's Into Something Ewwwww
I'm not old enough to remember this commercial for Blue Stratos men's cologne, but it really puts a lot of SNL sketches into historical/satirical perspective. I've never seen a creepier, more rapey expression on a beautiful model's face. I wonder how many people unknowingly owe their lives to the power of Blue Stratos:
Run, Tom Selleck! There's a roofie in your wine! I like how Mustache Guy plays the Little Red Riding Hood role in this commercial. He just thinks he's going out for a nice dinner with his best girl, so he put on his favorite cologne, but she has other ideas. For "something new"! (What did that even mean in 1985?)

"When my man wears Blue Stratos I don't need to sing the blues"
Yet she is singing the blues at that moment. So I guess her man is not Tom Selleck?

i don't think the production designer used enough blue... it's too subtle. won't play in the red states.

Until Smell-o-vision is created I will fail to see the point in perfume commercials. PLEASE, tell me we'll soon have Smell-o-vision. I'd rather live to see that as opposed to flying cars!

It's not even the Blue Stratos. It's the mustache. Never under estimate the powers of the mustache.
