Mally commercial/ infomercial spot on QVC

SeaMaiden — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 12:13:33 GMT

I hope the moderators do not "move " this topic, my post ,as I think QVC needs to rethink their selling strategy aimed at women over 50. I am over 50, and I took offense to this selling strategy by Mally and QVC.

I found it offensive in Mally's commercial where she called out women over 50 as:

"peeing in their pants".

It is not funny comment or a funny joke....it is a medical condition and It is a put down to women and aging. No different than making fun of men and their performance after 50... what Mally said was just in bad taste.

QVC needs to bring Woman UP....not bring them down by making such an aging put down comment.

Interesting how everyone perceives information differently. I thought she was witty and I was glad she is going to bring some cosmetics directed to "mature" women- Remember Lauren Hutton's Face Disc? I liked it!
But I do see your point, that one comment is rather off-putting...

@Skyegirl21 I am not against Mally selling cosmetics at all, just did not think that her joking about this subject as necessary to sell cosmetics aimed at the over 50 crowd. That is all.

That comment was inappropriate. The Q can't control every word that comes out of a vendor's mouth but, most likely, she heard about it.

I just watched the promo for the show. I didn't like the part where Mally says don't know ***** and she is beeped out. That, even though beeped on purpose, was just not in good taste for any shopping show.

@phoenixbrd @It's Q's promotional video to promote their own show. They can definitely control what is in the video. It is not a live promo. It's taped.

@Mindy D Thanks for sharing that information, I didn't know that. In that case, someone wasn't doing their job.

I don't care for it either. It's silly. And, of course, it will be shown over and over and over. Just seeing it one time has already biased me NOT to tune in and watch this new show. Basically on QVC I don't want to hear about anyone's pee. Period!

I took no offense to it personally. She said something to the effect of "maybe you pee a little bit when you laugh", she didn't imply that we are all walking around needing diapers IMO.

Wow, what a mean comment. Reflects her attitude towards older women.

It didn't bother me at all.

@SeaMaiden @The products are the same ole, same ole. Some are shown as a preview. So far, nothing new: Dearforms slippers, Vionics, Argan Oil, some Mally cosmetics, Nuface, Sunday Riley, Women With Control, Spenco, Beekman, Breezies, some wines. I hope they have more than what they have already shown in this preview.

Personally, I like Mally and I like the idea of marketing that embraces women over 50. In general, advertisers have left us out of the loop in spite of the tremendous buying power of this demographic.

I think QVC will make the effort to keep Mally from going too far, though it will be live and could get out of hand.

Way over 50 and have no desire to hear anything from Mally. My feeling has little to do with her products because I buy so little makeup from anyone, and while her approach may work well on different skin, I can't remember ever seeing/hearing any suggestion I could use.

That's not the worst to come out of Mally's mouth. Many years ago, she said something along the lines of "You'll be a M.I.L.F." Not being up on the latest slang, I had to look it up. Call me a prude, but I was shocked.

Can't watch Mally and her yelling all the time.

She is over 50 herself.

It's very light hearted humor. Extremely funny. I enjoyed it and laughed heartily!

Go Mally!

I didn't think it was a big deal, but I have a lot going on and don't have time to look for reasons to be outraged.

I saw the spot but must have tuned her out. She is just gross IMO. I used to like some of her products - years ago - her mascara, eye shadow, blush. I even found the "bullet-proof" line offensive in light of so many shootings. She tries a little too hard to be young and hip. And like someone else said I just can't take the yelling. Not for me anymore.
