Confused sacking off Brian & The Robots and replacing them with James Corden driving a car with every traffic light turning green as he approaches them. It's almost as if they've thought "Hmmm, we need to rebrand. I know let's hire a celebrity who's currently on trend".
Yes, totally agree. Not overly keen on James Corden anyway so I'm slightly biased but an extremely annoying ad all the same.Also not sure that having Marc Bolan playing in the background to a car driving/car insurance advert is the wisest choice of music anyone's made.

James Corden has the drive of his life, hitting green light after green light to nail the smoothest of rides, because he's a winning driver. The driver wins with us.
Driver wins. What is a driver win?
We champion drivers by celebrating their golden car-related moments. You know that good feeling you get when a car leaves an otherwise-packed car park, and you nab that space? That’s a driver win!
And we’re all about the driver wins. Whether that’s a smooth run of green lights, belting out a guilty pleasure that comes on the radio, or saving money on your car insurance.
We’d love to hear about your finest driving moments.

Just seen an advert for Hellamns mayonnaise
It talks about making a BLT better by using the Mayo.
But the man in the advert spreads the Mayo directly onto the bacon he's just put on the sandwich. Surely you'd put it on the bread? Cold Mayo direct on hot bacon? Weird
I also shouted at the ridiculousness of trying to spread mayo over lumpy bacon. My OH just looked at me and rolled her eyes. She just doesn't get it! Who the fIt talks about making a BLT better by using the Mayo.

Arf! Also not sure that having Marc Bolan playing in the background to a car driving/car insurance advert is the wisest choice of music anyone's made.

We are disscusing all these adverts, they drive us mad, but because of this they are a success and the advertisers have persuaded us to take notice. That's all it takes.
Someone always comes out with that line. In my case, they may make me take notice but sure as fk don't encourage me to give the company my money or buy the product(s) being featured. For example I refuse to ever use any comparison website because all of them have such annoyingly ste adverts. Plus I will not shop at Tesco at all.DaveGoddard said:

Err... hate to break it to you subway but your peddling a piece of f****** clear plastic with a picture of a fish on like it's the most entertaining thing in the world. The novelty with kids will probably dissipate after all of 30 seconds (if that).

Yes, all of you may not buy any products from the ad's you don't like, but a large percentage do. A five percent increase in sales tells the relevant company that the ad campaign has been a success.
On a mail out ad campaign a 2% response is considered a very good return.

If those figures are considered a success then it explains why advertising attracts the types it does.Yes, all of you may not buy any products from the ad's you don't like, but a large percentage do.

Is this the one with the American mountaineer who has "summited" Everest 6 times? I know PH doesn't like grammar Nazis (like wot I am) but this is typical of halfwit US monkeys - check your dictionary you stupid cow, summit is a noun......it's a bad as "podiumed".t.
Not that many years ago (well, a few:-) the ads used to be better than the programmes.
I don't know if it's me that's got older or if ads have got worse but nowadays there seems to be hardly any that are in any way memorable for a good reason. Time was when they were innovative and made you actually buy something.
A case in point is the current obsession for using CGI on peoples mouths (those bridesmaids eating some crisps for example) just so cringeworthy.
Ads also seem to feature thick people, the which advert for example offering a free booklet on how to use a tablet "Ohh it's so useful, i didn't know how to press the button and turn it on"
Are there actually people like this?
Scratch that, yes there are.
