Influencer makes a fool of herself stroking a Bentley – the US Army and Air Force also respond
In Russia Alla Bruletova is known as a singer – here together with Egor Ship. Internationally she went viral as “Bentley Girl”.

It was supposed to be an advertisement for the luxury brand Bentley. But with her breathy “Bentley” and the pats on the luxury car, model Alla Bruletova went viral rather unplanned.
Alla Bruletova doesn’t have much of a say in her video – because basically she just says “Bentley”. Actually, she doesn’t even say it, rather she breathes it into the camera. And she caresses the car lovingly. First she flicks the hood ornament, then she runs along the grille, then taps on the rim and then opens with one the brand’s second lascivious exclamation. When she gets into the car, she whispers “Bentley” again and starts the car. Then she blinks, strokes the steering wheel and opens one of the tables in the back seat. While she puts an empty glass in the cup holder, she whispers “Bentley” again – and flicks the glass. The video ends.
Advertising for car dealers goes around the world
What the whole thing is not immediately clear – except that it is probably a promotional video for the Russian car dealer Jetcar. Apparently more and more people are realizing that it is extremely strange to present a vehicle in this way. Because the video now has more than 1.3 million views and quite a few have used it as a template for a parody. A wonderful slapstick.
DAF! Sikorsky! Panthers!
These posts are collected under the Tiktok hashtag “Bentleygirl”. With nearly ten million clicks, a trucker named Dave was able to wow the crowds far more than Alla. He presents his DAF truck in a similar way.
The video of the Russian influencer also turns out to be welcome advertising for completely normal cars, such as Opel and Citroën. Or Lada.
Apparently owners of military vehicles also have a lot of fun, because even the US Army and the German Air Force could not resist their contribution. The fact that it looks rather strange when a soldier pets a Humvee or even a Sikorsky makes it all the more entertaining.
A man who recreates the video with a museum tank also seems to be extremely in love. At least that’s what his lovingly whispered “Panther” suggests.
The possibilities for recreating the video now know no bounds – and somehow the joke never gets old. So there are offshoots with a horse and a tractor – of course.
At least this time Bruletova doesn’t hurt the attention – she has already uploaded the next videos with vehicles on her channel. And the network community has fun with it. Most recently, the influencer hit the headlines in March 2022, including at “RTL“, because she danced with a trained bear for a video – which not everyone liked for a long time.
