Ads that get right on your tits

[moosedude]

didn't that twat split up with that woman in the BT advert? did I miss one, I thought they split up because they were both miserable wankers who talked about nothing but cheap phones and broadband. See I hate this advert so much mainly because somehow I care what happens to the sods. How come the most annoying adverts are a million miles from the rubbish they're trying to sell??

all adverts should be like a ronseal advert, it should be all about what it says it does on the tin. that should be it. no flashy music, no weird "emotive" crap with dramatic music and wavy graphics. stop it. Actually, it shouldn't be like that, the ads. that attempt to be simple still seem to fuck it up somehow and come off as a new completely different type of patronizing, previously unexplored by anybody except MPs trying to defend their expenses.

incidentally, the bmw advert, that claims its about the way it makes you fell, blah blah blah. Well, when I had a bmw, it made me feel absolute terror whenever it rained (rear wheel drive), do you think that was the feeling they were talking about?

and another thing, the Citroen Picasso car; FFS. That ugly dreary looking thing is so far detached from artistic genius it beggers believe; the chap must be spinning in his grave, the advert implies an amazing piece of artistic genius, when it truth it was carve from a single piece of solidified wank just recently excavated from the lead wank demon himself. CAR ADVERTS are the worst offenders.

CAR ADVERTS are the worst offenders.

How would you advertise them, then? It'd be like bloody James May.

Have I mentioned how much I fucking hate the current Ikea advert in Spain? The combination of overexposure and random cunts keep singing the jingle thinking its a laugh doesn't help.



gnnnngh! fucking. stop. it!

Once lottery adverts (extra special draws - Spains answer to the MFI sale) complete with bloody annoying songs get on my tits as well



How do you top that you ask? You go back to the fucking Ikea advert again.... 10 minutes later you realise you're watching Telecinco by mistake (TVs answer to heat magazine) and start to ponder the effect of hurling a 21inch 1980s TV set from a 4th storey window. And then realise it's too hot and you can't be arsed so just turn it off to use the socket for something more productive - like a fan.

TV is shit, really...

There was an advert for Fiskars axes in Finland in the early 90s that was great.

It featured a shot of a chopping block, a 10 second silence and then WHAM an axe coming down on the block followed by the (deep male) voice-over of "Buy an axe".

That's all there was and that is all you need.

[The Caffeine Kid]

"Buy an axe"? That being said in a thread about adverts reminds me of this classic...



Wow I'm showing my age bigtime now.

He's right you know..James May would probably be dead by now if he did advertising. Killed in a tragic accident by being horribly crushed by a double-decker bus dropping out of the sky when he was out buying milk one morning for his cornflakes.

The latest glade advert is getting right on my tits at the moment.

'I want to do a poo at pauls house' exclaims the little kid. I somehow doubt that the fact they have a glade air freshener in the bathroom would make THAT much difference.

I think what irks me is the fact that the marketting men obviously think that people are going to buy this stuff simply because if they don't their kids might not want to use their toilets!! How bizarre is that?

The fact it's foreign advert which has been badly dubbed into English makes it even worse....

[Governmentyard]

I've recently stopped buying Garnier products because I can no longer live with myself knowing that, by doing so, I'm helping to keep that annoying cow in a job..

That's fucked anyway, even the French can't explain it. They pronounce it as laborotwah garny-eh paris. But surely it should be pronounced as either laboratories garny-eh paris or laboratwah garny-eh pareee? It's as if they are slipping from French into English halfway through.

In fact shouldn't it be Garnier Laboratories, Paris?

I'm basing this on a couple of years ago, having come to the conclusion that watching tv is for cunts, so maybe they've changed it recently?

How doo you liiike your eggs in the moorning?

I like mine with a kiysss..

Tropicana can piss off with their fuckity-twee advert, I'd rather have my eggs with a nice glass of smouldering napalm.

[Alarm]

A newish ad. to loathe is the "he's only a tenor" one. Grr.

[RiK]

So what ads get on your fucking tits at the moment?

All of them.


Which is why I never watch live telly, and download all the series I watch even if they are on sky already.

I'd happily pay 5x the tv license cost to have advert-free telly.

[Cloudane]

They'd probably do a Sky - screw us for (what feels like) 5x the license cost and put adverts on too.

There's another loud/shouty advert that got on my tits recently, can't remember what it was for though. I think I purged it from my memory.

I always fail to understand the benefit (Direct Line) of refusing price comparison sites. Unless they're really high class - which is not the image they put out with that silly talking phone on wheels thing - it just suggests to me that they're overpriced and don't want people to know.

[betamax]

A newish ad. to loathe is the "he's only a tenor" one. Grr.

"Our product is utterly mediocre but we'll make sure you remember it, you fucking hopeless audience meat".

[Gillorient]

The Peugeout advert with the American car salesman mangling the French language is enough to make me homicidal.
'We have nawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar'.
It's 'noir' you cretin.
