Why I want Smellovision

3D TV has had it’s time in the limelight, and it didn't go well. I don’t know a single person with a 3D TV. It’s too much of a gimmick. That’s why TV needs a revitalising product. I present to you Smellovision. Here are just some of the reasons why I want Smellovision in everyone’s homes.

1.) It will make so many ads make sense.

Oh a perfume ad! Lets watch these people try and describe their brand without letting you smell it. Perfume is just that. A smell. All these ads with random people dancing or ‘getting intimate’ aren’t explaining a single thing to us. So why don’t we let them give us the smell? BAM. smellovision strikes again. It’s like those scratch and sniff ads in newspapers. Revolutionary.

This won’t just apply for perfume, no, it’ll help so many industries. The other two big ones would be coffee and air fresheners. Most coffee ads these days show how coffee keeps people together and tries to put across a feeling of family... How lovely. Unfortunately, that’s not why we buy coffee.



Which one of these will save my relationship the fastest...?


We buy coffee because of the smell. It’s the closest we can get without actually tasting the coffee. Not to repeat myself, but BAM. Smellovision strikes again.
And I’m not forgetting about air fresheners. Those ads just tell us ‘Oh look at this guy! He likes that smell! You should too!’ And some bullshit science. I would much prefer for an ad that goes a little like this ‘Don’t you want this smell in your living room?’ BAM. Smellovision. And then some bullshit science.


2.) You will be more involved with the characters.

You’re probably wondering how smell can help at all with the depth of a story, but it will. Imagine watching an episode of (Random cop show) where they are investigating a murder. They find a body and pull back because of the smell. All of a sudden you can smell it too. YOU’RE THERE. Now you can feel their pain.
Or how about when you are watching (Random romance movie) and they are running through a field of flowers, as they always do in those movies. You can smell the gorgeous aroma of the flowerbed as they are trampled under our protagonists feet... How romantic.
Smellovision strikes again.

3.) It’s a gimmick, and I love gimmicks.

With the exception of 3D television, as I wear glasses already, I love gimmicks. They are so weird and wacky! And smellovision would be leading that charge! No one would want it, but it would sell like hotcakes. Eventually it will become commonplace, but only in cinemas that try to be hip and cool.

Just like your parents.

Still! We enjoyed our time with it, even though it poisoned our houses air with a multitude of smells and we had to watch TV with all the doors and windows open.
