Ads that get right on your tits

[RedOktober]

How did Jim Davidson get back in the frame?

"And now, just in time for Christmas, right out of fucking nowhere... Jim Davidson!"

There seems to be a trend recently for certain adverts to use slow-ed down versions of older songs (the example that set me off on this rant is the new chanel no 5 ad I just sat through with my head in my FUCKING HANDS) - such as (in this case) some young ex-backpacker singing a 'romantic' version of the grease song 'you're the one that I want'.

That would be Lo-Fang. Who I'd never heard of until I saw that ad (the full length one, not the shite 30-second edit) and LOVED his version of YTOTIW:


There have been quite a few pieces of music and artists I've been introduced to over the years in this way. I think it all started with an ad (for what I cannot recall) featuring "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole:

Iz was from The Makaha Sons of Niʻihau i think. They had a couple of decent songs too.

Not exactly annoying... but this is the adverts thread, right?

Not quite the same version as I'm seeing on TV here, but at least I can embed it:


Blinding us with science!

Mathematical skillz!


There was some ad on the other day that just went on and on and on and on and on and you're thinking "WHAT ARE YOU EVEN ADVERTISING? GET TO THE POINT!" - eventually there's a Matalan logo at the end.

It's done its job I suppose - I remembered the brand. But I'm still not convinced that having an advert that tells you nothing about what they're selling and seems to drag on long enough that you gain a couple of grey hairs just waiting for it to pass, is necessarily the most efficient way to go about it...

Just reading tragic news on the Sky iOS app regarding Leah Washington, 17, requiring an amputation

She was one of the victims of an accident on Alton Towers "SMILERS" ride.

Then THIS advert pops up...

Grrrr, you made me a bit pissed by reminding me of that pissy offy ad!

It makes me think of a poor imitation of Matt Berry.

"You wouldn't ignore blood from anywhere else, so why ignore it from your gums?"

Because that's been happening for the whole of my life, and it just seems to be a thing that happens? Clearly there's an issue, but it's an issue I've had dozens of times without any lasting damage so I'm perfectly happy to ignore it, unless it becomes properly alarming. I wouldn't ignore wax building up under my foreskin either, but in my ears I'm much less bothered, to be honest.

Exactly, I was going to say that you'd probably ignore blood from your anus if you brushed it abrasively twice a day, but you pretty much nailed it there... The lost point of the advert, that is. Not your anus.

I think the last time I posted an advert that was getting on my tits was Sun Bingo, well, here we have yet another bingo advert. This time, Gala Bingo.

I've found all the Gala Bingo adverts using this theme very annoying but this one is the worst so far -_-.

Enjoy............... *cough*

I don't watch too much ad-sponsored telly, but by christ I never want to see the Pixar film "Inside Out" because I'm sick of it already from the frequent cross-advertising (none of which has been remotely amusing, so it's not selling the film at all anyway).
