TV commercial of the week: George Clooney and Nespresso

TV commercial of the week: George Clooney and Nespresso

TOKYO —

George Clooney has been appearing in a series of commercials worldwide for Nespresso automated espresso makers. It is also airing in Japan with Japanese subtitles.

In the latest ad, Clooney walks into a Nespresso boutique where various women seem to recognize him. But his ego takes a beating when it turns out they don’t know who George Clooney is. What else?

    Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Part Deux: Meeting @ Nespresso Cafe:

    "There's no emotion. None. Just the pretense of it. The words, the gesture, the tone of voice, everything else is the same, but not the feeling."

    Beware, it's coming to your town.

    George has been coming under fire on the Internet by various groups for advertising a Nestle product. I guess he needs the money. It's quite a funny ad.

    Clooney will always be Dr. Ross to me.

    Some of the Youtubers' comments are funny!:

    "I didn't know coffee could be gay" - ha ha!

    Never saw it. I think some posters might be really hooked on TV.

    I love that big name Western actors can star in commercials for the mundane here (and in South Korea as well). It makes them quite funny, and entertaining.

    In this commercial, Mr Clooney brushes off the advances of a very attractive lady. He makes it seem like he's more interested in coffee than a stunningly beautiful woman. He does this very convincingly, almost as if he has no interest in women.
