The Andrex "how clean do you feel after you go to the loo"? ad.

Apparently, everyone wants to feel as clean as an ice king.

Who thinks this stuff up?

The £2.99 Flying Scotsman fob watch.

How do they make any money on this?
Who would want one?
When they got it, they would know you were a serious cheapskate, so why would you give it?

And again. Who the fk would want it?

psychologists and marketeers. Obviously no-one wants to feel like they still have st on them when they leave the bathroom, and it generally isn't to do with the quality of paper. However it plants the idea subconsciously that maybe with their current product they are in some way unclean, substandard. It's cleverer than you think, but it is obvious advertising bullst, and of course completely untrue.

Radio ad, rather than TV, but: New Audi all-wheel-drive system ('legendary' apparently). I don't really listen to adverts, so not sure if I heard correct, but they seemed to be suggesting that if you have a four wheel drive Audi, you don't need to bother listening to the weather report or worry about road conditions. Seems like a bloody irresponsible message to me.

Yeah they're on Talk Sport radio all the time along with Amigo loans. That and the latest untapped resource for parasite lawyers - industrial deafness.

Yup. Always seems to come on around dinner time too, just what you want to be thinking about while eating.

I'm not the only one who stuck the reg into Askmid when I first saw it then? biggrin I'm surprised it hasn't appeared in the "badly modified" threads yet. Wonder if Soovy's noticed the reg on it too?

Not a tele advert, but a radio one.

The capital one advert with the young kid saying.

"we are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen"

"on the head writey"

I hater this one and I think I've said it before. It's fundamentally flawed, who doesn't pick the quickest route option? This feature only kicks in if you hit traffic.
