Product Shill: Fernando Torres

Category: Player News, Randoms, WTF Files

YouTube Preview Image

Oh, why can’t we all live in Fernando Torres’s world?

It’s a world where cheesy synth music plays in earnest, assistant stylists stand frozen in awe of your presence and wig heads feature prominently as an advertising mechanism for success.

(Watch at about 12 seconds in, when a styrofoam head is pushed into the camera-line. Marketing gold, this is).

Also: Nando’s opening walk/shoulder roll to camera is killing us.

    hahaha this is hilarious!

    Why would he be advertising a hairdresser in Galicia? That’s so odd. But I could be there in 2 hours, wonder if Nando will be there…

    Yes, this commercial is so funny, but I wish I could tousle Fernando’s hair and get a wink and a big hug from him! What a shame he wasn’t advertising shower gel. I would definitely have Mr T in the Hot 5 (by the way, why isn’t Totti on the list?)

    LOL, quite funny. very random and totally likeable. i like the woman washing the hair how she’s not even paying attention to her client but looking lovingly at the camera. very nice.

    thank you kickette for making me laugh today i really needed it….NANDO NANDO NANDO i love u an all but that shoulder roll had me in stitches, bless his lil heart, can it get any more cheesier? looool but his accent wooow soooo sexy ;-)

  11. Venice says:
    August 30, 2009 at 02:34

    LOL too good! It’s obviously something like a family owned hair salon, none of the posh stuff so I think it was sweet and funny from him.

    Well I suppose he could also be advertising luxury housing estates like some other players, but I guess with Fernando it’s fun over $$$

  12. Boston Red says:
    August 30, 2009 at 00:45

    Really? A hair salon? His voice is totally doing it for me right now though…

  13. aristeia says:
    August 30, 2009 at 00:09

    That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, haha! I’m going to guess from the low-production value that the salon is owned by a friend or Nando is doing it as a favor (not saying he didn’t get paid though, he very well may have). The cheese is hilarious– and all the winking, super funny. *squishes him*

    My favorite moment may be when the first wighead appears. It just gets shoved into the picture, lol!

    As much as i want to laugh at him, i have to applaud our lovely Nando for actually putting aside his normal standards and doing this for his friend…how so sweet!!…cheesy, but sweet…wait, who am i kidding?!….laughed my arse off on this one…but i still love you, Nando ;)

  16. jigga says:

    YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its for NIKE he has done one for a dog school too it is all part of a new advertising campaign.

    “ah isnt he sweet helping a friend out”

    No he is doing it for the 3million a year he gets off NIKE.

    LOL

  17. *JustMe* says:
    January 27, 2009 at 08:40

    LMAO This is the best commercial ever!!!

    Torres is simply GREAT!! Helping a friend, say a lot of Mr. Torres smile

    And he’s cute…! The shoulders ‘thing’ is hilarious… wtf? lol

    There’s a rumor that this vid is just a spoof ad for a Spanish comedy show…I hope so.

    But he has horrible hair?

    Is that Spanish for IRONY?

  22. That Andy Chick says:
    January 22, 2009 at 10:21

    It’s killing you? Me too. I died laughing at it. He looks really good (hard for me to accept ‘cause I’ve always thought he’s kind of weird-looking) and the cheese is great. ROFLMAO.

  23. Raina says:
    January 22, 2009 at 09:35

    Cheese-tastic!  And i’m not sure that’s a good thing!

    The first three seconds are like the love child of Spike Lee’s camera work and Zoolander.

    What a welcome to this blog.  smile

  27. Rebecca says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Hahahhaa, I can’t stop laughing at the shoulder thing! He looks great though, as usual, but why did he agree to be in such a poor made commercial? I’m just playing the intro walk over and over again xD

  28. Kylah (twinyk) says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    HAHAHA, oh please let this be a joke. This is soo cheesy. And I really don’t understand why he is doing a shoulder roll. *continues laughing*

  29. HiL says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    how cute is he! lol

  30. banri says:

  32. LizB (Mrs. Vucinic) says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    That is the cutest thing ever. Makes me love him even more. I think it’s awesome he’d do something like this for a friend (cause I can’t think why else he’d be doing it). The cheese is awesome and the shoulder roll had me laughing hysterically, especially when he combined it with the winks. I’ve watched it a million times now.

  33. iinvisible says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    hahahahahahaha. the shoulders thing is hilarious!!!

  34. liselotte says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    that was massively hilarious! “Hola, soy Fernando Torres y les doy la bienvenida a la Peluqueria Gessbra” xD he looks like he’s trying not to burst into laughter

  35. emzluvznando says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    aww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sexy or wat! id be to loved up eith him to cut his hair.

  36. suzie says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    seriously funny. How can he be so cheesy and adorable at the same time. But being his hairdresser at the mo is not something to be proud of.

  37. Helle (Footiegirl) says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    This was the most fun I have had in days! Seriously – my cheecks are hurting from laughing soooo much. I watched way to many times already… just can’t stop.

  38. Akasha says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    WTF is right. I have never seen so many people looking sooooooooo uncomfortable and fake in a commercial. It’s CHEESE at it’s best.

  39. Maritza004 says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    This is the funniest thing I have ever seen! But even though it is incredibly cheesy, I am still in love with Torres!

  40. GO says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Thank you Kickette! This made my day!!! I think I replayed it way too many times for my own good!! and I agree with aisteia and Venice. Fernando is not the kinda of guy to be “whoring himself”….and I will stop here!

  41. Callie says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Oh My Iker. THAT IS GOLD!!!

  42. Bella says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    I’ve just watched this so many times that I’m late to work. If they threaten to fire me can I claim that I was taking Spanish lessons? He does speak so beautifully. But the clip is too adorable!!!!!! (And I’m sure he did it as a favor to a friend, La Coruna isn’t exactly convenient to Madrid, let alone Liverpool, but they do have it rough economically. Such a sweetheart, sigh.)

  43. The Fourth Official says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Footballers selling boots or pop or video games is one thing, but when they start whoring themselves for a hair salon, the world has just gone mad.

  44. DC says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    the shoulder roll is priceless! can’t stop watching it! lol Nando, lol.

  45. Baby Freya (Mrs Arbeloa) says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Oh.My.God……i think i just died laughing! Thats hilarious, utterly hilarious! The shoulder roll, excessive winking, random guy pulling fake doll head into camera shot, orange stylists….oh, its too much *bursts into uncontrollable laughter* I do love Nando and his adverts! And big woop to the girls in the Nando and Pool Threads! :)

    Wow. That may be the most terrible commercial I’ve ever seen, yet its made absolutely adorable by Fernando Torres. Lucky they picked him – anyone else and it just wouldn’t have worked.

  56. Erin says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    I just keep coming back and watching it again! LOL! It is so hilarious! But what a sweet boy for doing it, despite the cheese and potential embarrassment. Heart of gold. :D

  57. Erin says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Awwww, that is outstanding! LOL! Cheesy to the max. But I bet anything that’s a friend or a hometown business that he knows, which makes it undeniably sweet. He is a very good lad. Keep up the whoring, Nando! ;)

  58. lose that girl says:
    March 16, 2010 at 11:05

    Hilarious! It is obviously a local ad probably produced by a small commercial production shop for mere peanuts. Must be a family friend owning the salon. Maybe Nando gets free haircuts for appearing in their ad!
