# Erotic Elevator Ads Vanessa Bayer Stars in a Fifty Shades of Grey Spoof for Audi By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-02-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifty-shades-of-grey-spoof References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2015/02/81893/vanessa-bayer-fifty-shades-spoof?source_utm=feed&utm_medium=rss) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utP3ROiT_DM) Another day, another Fifty Shades of Grey spoof. At least, that's how it feels. As we draw nearer to the film's theatrical release, the Internet is filling up with parody after parody. The latest comes in the form of an [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-handbook-novels) ad starring Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa [Bayer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astepro-allergy-campaign) as Anastasia Steele. That is, if Anastasia Steele was a master of kink. The ad sees Bayer-as-Steele's terrorize everyone who enters the elevator with uncomfortably long stares and crass pick-up lines. She carries a whip, announces that she's doing Kegels and attempts to proposition a couple for a threesome. If this Fifty Shades of Grey spoof proves anything, it's that Anastasia Steele doesn't need a sexual liberation from Christian Grey after all. She is a bona-fide freak between the sheets all on her own! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fifty Shades of Grey Spoofs:** Opportunity to create humorous and entertaining content related to the popular franchise. - **Erotic Advertising:** Potential to push boundaries and capture attention with provocative and unconventional marketing campaigns. - **Parodies in Online Content:** Opportunity to capitalize on the popularity of parodies by creating humorous and relatable content for online audiences. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Innovative advertising campaigns that challenge traditional norms and evoke strong emotions. - **Entertainment:** Creating humorous and engaging content that appeals to fans of popular media franchises and generates buzz. - **Digital Media:** Opportunity to create and distribute entertaining online content that goes viral and attracts a wide audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Erotica Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories.md) - [Romantic Allergy Medication Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astepro-allergy-campaign.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Cuffing Season Yogurt Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harmless-harvest.md) - [Comedic Villain EV Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gm-dr-evil.md) - [Vampiric Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love.md) - [Playful Alcohol Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviation-gin-commercial.md) - [Actor-Backed Electric Automobile Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rise-of-electric.md) - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md)
