Ads that get right on your tits

[Thoughtcat]

Another vote here for those fucking GoCompare ads.

[Dungeon-Dave]

A vote for badly-dubbed ads, all of the cunts. They seem to be cosmetic-centric at the moment (dove soap?) but still look amateurish.

Oh, and some of those adverts where they appear to be filmed by three uncoordinated pissheads and the editor has to quickly snap back and forth between footage so we don't get to see the shooter fall over. I'm not pissed by 7pm in the evening, so don't film it as if I am, making me struggle to focus on some actor rolling in and out of shot, warbling about sensitive toothpaste. I got pissed off at shakycam in various series, wasn't fond of snapzoom in BSG (and liked it even less when Torchwood overused it to "add tension") and now adverts need to be filmed the same way....

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL? WHAT ARE YOU ADVERTISING? I DON'T REMEMBER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T COMMUNICATE PROPERLY!

So you like those adverts where they repeat the product name, phone number or web address for ever and ever so you end up REMEMBERING IT. "Go compare! La-la-la-laa! Go compare, go compare, etc etc"

Dear Ant & Dec, please stop trying to casually sell Nintendo products to us. Thanks.

You are Ant & Dec, the slightly sarcastic and sometimes funny people from the telly. Selling Nintendo products is not what you do. Celebrities going around to people's houses and talking about Brain Training <- Does not happen in real life. Cabbies sitting in a cafe talking about Nintendo does not happen in real life.

Erm.. I'm not sure how "hating adverts I can't remember the product name for" indicates "loving adverts I CAN remember the product name for".

I certainly remember the Cadbury's drumming gorilla and runway car race... but fucked if I can work out how (a) they relate to chocolate, and (b) how they improved sales. S'not like they're likely to be sold off at any.. oh.. wait...

And just because I clearly hate you all:

We buy any car (dot com). ANY. ANY. ANY. ANY.

You, sir, are a cunt.

I was thinking; there was that advert that repeated the same phrase over and over, but it's finally and thankfully faded from memory. And then you happened along. You bastard.

[Cloudane]

Am I really weird if I actually sort of like "we buy any car"?
% We buy any car! Dorrrt Corrrrm %

I may have said this before (can't remember) but any advert that 'pretends to know you' gets on my tits as well. "When you had diarrhoea this morning, you felt (blah blah)" - sorry, what? Did the shits escape from me unnoticed? Am I walking around with poo dripping from my legs? (Or it might've been a constipation advert. I can't remember. Either way it's shit)

"We feel that you deserve a great night's sleep" - really? For all you know I could be a mass murdering terrorist paedophile who pulls the legs off dogs for fun. But I'm glad someone wants me to sleep soundly.


And Finally, Wikipedia mode = on

You are Ant & Dec, the slightly sarcastic and sometimes funny[when?]

Late at night, on I'm a Celebrity*. On occasion they rip the piss and it's kind of funny.

* Not that I watch this, you understand...

Times gone by. Over 6% interest? Something tells me a sister advert advertised 120% mortgages, perhaps.

[Cloudane]

I have that Cillit Bang remix stored somewhere, quality

And yes, a definite +1 for all the Halifax annoying singing and dancing crap.

[sack]
