‘Peter goes to iceland'…..

Pug faced, vain, talentless, faux self deprecating whiner…..goes to the food equivalent of £ land, where a gaggle of tired looking, tramp stamped munters, stub out their last embassy regal’s and are stunned how this self proclaimed Adonis could grace their grey, vacuous lives by visiting Kerry Katona’s fridge compartment.

But oh, the ironic twist, better than Bryan Singer could ever have dreamt of….Pug, is blissfully unaware of this fawning ( though has taken 2 days to gel his silly hair, and cover himself in gravy browning), and points to a 300 kilo synthetic cake and drops to his knees in awe at this new 9th Wonder of the World.

‘Nuke him from space….it’s the only way to be sure'.
I hope you are a writer by trade because you should be.

Without a doubt the best thing I've ever read on PH - editorial included.

I salute you.

Very nice of you....no far from it....that was 30 seconds of pent up anger and disappointment , released upon my keyboard over a coffee. Glad you appreciated it.
Funniest thing I've ever read on PH in over ten years...thumbup
Calm down. It was quite funny.

Is it just me or has TV advertising gone back to the 1970s?

Advert 1 - e-cigarettes advertised in an overtly sexualised manner by a glammed up smoke-blowing model. I'm suprised that this got past the Advertising Authority.

Advert 2 - A Breitling watch advert ending up with 2 jump-suit wearing (with an easy access zipper at the front - wink wink) models being picked up by sun-glasses wearing top-gun pilots. This is just really lame, and I should imagine the cheesiness actually damages the brand! I can't believe that Breitling seem to think that their core demographic is 13 year old boys?

These are the TV equivalent of the kind of adverts you'd find in a 1970's copy of Mayfair(*)

That stupid advert for one of the bingo ones... in fact any of the bingo/betting ones!

That one with that stupid tart going "i'm wearing a white coat so here's a dancing waste-of-life who's rubbed too many peas onto his face to tell you about it" is the worst... THAT DOESN'T ADVERTISE ANYTHING!!

Then the betting ones which have nothing to do with the betting... get out... and while you're at it why don't you make the "gambleaware" text big enough so the destitute, who you are trying to dupe out of what little money they have left, can read it rather than just fighter pilots!

I don't know what the advert is for but it features a CGI rapping bear offering a free gift of a toy rapping bear.

Whoever has written the script for the advert has taken the tune of Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby" (or Under Pressure by Queen if you prefer) and added their own words which neither scan nor rhyme so making a st idea for an advert doubly st.

I'm so glad that I have the ability to pause and FFWD television broadcasts because 90%+ of adverts really are completely crap, and badly executed crap at that.

Muller "Rice Rice Baby" - agreed it's become a rather annoying ad when it's on so often.

Sadly one of my friends has already been talked into getting one by his daughter and is now buying copious amounts of Muller Rice to get the correct amount of tokens (or whatever is required).

If we're talking about advert characters with ladies way out of their league look no further than the moonfaced ginger oaf in the current BT TV ad. If I was going to lock myself in a flat with the blond piece for 3 days' straight it would be more of a case of Breaking Bed then Breaking Bad. The TV ad is backed up by an equally annoying radio spot where she obviously needs a seeing to and all he wants is to watch X-Men, the censored.
Very much this, she must be wanting tied to the bed and shagged till you just cant anymore, never mind the tv, its on demand, watch it after shagging.
Not all women are into mindless rutting animalistic sex you know. frown
In my defence the advert does infer that they 'have the flat to themselves tonight' and she would rather not be watching TV. The gist being she obviously wants a romantic evening with maybe a bit of naughtiness. I just ramped up the finale as pr normal PH 'back doors in' stance.

No offence to the lovely ladies of the world meant smile

Seat: That's my boy. hurl

Sony: Trying to advertise the clarity of a 4k TV is like trying to demonstrate stereo with one speaker.


And I think it's "Scottish Grouse" or something like that where the bloke comes in with a beard and all the others are wearing Father Christmas ones. It's not the advert as such, but the case that is shown every fking ad break. Before and after.

The 118 434 directory service ad on radio, consists essentially of a bloke saying the number over & over (and fking OVER!!!) again. How much they paid the shiny suited ad wkers for that I wonder? And I still remember the 118118 number before them smile

Really, that annoys you? A tiny bit of a [i]Lidl[i/] advert that anyone else barely notices?

Another one for the Breitling ad here, an unbelievably juvenile advert for a supposedly premium brand!

Yeah.. but why would you be standing there waving and smiling. Surely him dumping your precious daughter would give you a reason to kick the fk out of him?
