Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

The ITV Be/Diet Coke ads every flipping ad break. My wife watches a lot of what I would consider "retard TV" so ITV BE unfortunately features heavily.

The adverts feature amongst others, these gems:





I find the black girl in that top one particularly irritating. Something about the smug way she shrugs her shoulders makes me want spray RAID down her throat. Bloody annoying music as well.

There does to be a fashion amongst some now (Facebook is a hot bed of this) of doing pretty mundane or annoying things under the guise of being 'wild' or 'crazy' and it's really neither.

'Im the crazy one' - translates as I quite like wine and I'm slightly loud and post pointless minion things.


ANYWAY

The pointless deichman shoes advert which starts 'we don't listen - we talk' (like that's somehow a good thing for a person) - the whole of society's grandiose and narcissism in one bite sized sentence.

Deichmann shoes really is an example of thew ad being so far removed from the reality.

I cannot imagine any female with an ounce of style or interest in fashion ever setting foot in that shop.

I don't imagine Germany is known for it's contribution to foot fashion.

On another note, there was a sequence of ads last night, all in one break, that I really thought perhaps the producers had read this thread and they were having a laugh.

I think it went

Ribena ad
The Jacobs crisp ad (ride on time) what the hell is that!!
The dancing Moam nerd
The one with people with deformed mouths (don't know what it's for)
Then finally an ad for soap powder telling us to keep it away from kids

Soap powder has been advertised for donkeys years, why the sudden need to warn of something we all know.

Because it's not for soap powder.
It's for the the 'pods' that appear to young kids just like sweets.


This was quite clear in the advert. And they are, compared to the powder you mention, quite new.

So either you're one of those people who apparently struggle to get through every day. Or you're doing the very PH, 'I'm cool because I'll pretend to not understand something' thing.

So why package poison to appear like sweets?

The new Homebase advert is a bit sickly / saccharine

"This breakfast bar seats 3 people, but will also help your son open up to you".

"You buy this garden sofa to spend more time outside, so you'd be surprised when it also helps your teenage son out of his bedroom and into the sunlight".

"While this lock is for securing doors, it's other job is to protect those 10 minutes of well earned privacy".

Edit - found it online - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-A7xVWHUaA

Wickes have bloody copied them; utter dreck about how a new kitchen or whatever won't just look nice it will make your depressing wageslave life better.

It may be just me but I find all adverts these days to be an absolute insult to the little bit of intelligence I may have. CGI seems to have gone mad and part responsible.
The last advert I can remember that was truly brilliant was the Peugeot advert where the guy produced a 205 using an elephant and various other things

206

Even though I used to own a 206 (don't laugh) I still think I'd rather have the Hindustan Ambassador he remodels during the ad...

Kwik Fit have started their new ad campaign which lauds their staff as "heroes" and is evidently based on the stories taken directly from the thousands of letters of praise the company receives

I went to a training course for a company once, where they said they wanted us to think of ourselves as "retail heroes". On the way back from this course the news about Lee Rigby broke. Management bullst makes no sense at the best of times but ever since then I've thought that the 'h' word should never be used in a context of selling stuff to people.

Anyway,onto more cheerful things.

I am 51.

I can barely and I mean barely remember Top Cat. Who in the name of the wide, wide world of sports is the demographic that Halifax think they are appealing to with their latest advert? People who want to change their mortgage two years before they have settled it? There are people out there who are paying mortgages whose Dads don't remember Top Cat.

Utterly bizarre.

I remember Top Cat, i'm 33. Doesn't make me want to change mortgages, but it's great seeing them on TV again.

Against the grain of the thread but agree this is one of he few ads lately that DID make me smile, even though as mentioned the target demographic seemed wildly off, and indeed the ad itself wasn't that funny really.

Still nice to see TC again, and I don't mind seeing the Muppets on the Warburtons ad either.

I'll get me coat.

Ohf uck it looks like that Jacobs crackers "I like to move it" rubbish is part of some diabolical master plan; there's another one on now with bridesmaids and another irritating "old skool bro" white ghetto anthem.

Awful concept, they just look weird.

[Rostfritt]

That fking 'Shaka Khan' Virgin Media advert. Has it been on about a year now? Nothing intrinsically bad about it, but I have to mute it now.
