Gladstone Brookes advert - is that supposed to be acting? A s
t, cheap, and cheesy advert from so called "professionals" ..
I mentioned this one earlier in the thread- I think it's the worst advert on TV at the moment (or ever?)t, cheap, and cheesy advert from so called "professionals" ..The way he interrogates you about 'whether you've done anything about your PPI yet' is bordering on confrontational.
If ever I see that advert I re-assess whether or not I really need to be watching the TV. It's obviously aimed at the terminally lazy / unemployed / elderly / compensation claimant lot as I've only ever seen it on in the middle of the day when I'm usually doing something constructive.
It came on about 6:00opm yesterday, which is a bit late for that type of "advert" - if you can call it that.

At least we don't have to suffer these ones anymore.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at the reason though.

This isn't Germany, we sorted that out in 1945.
It's only recently it's changed here.
I get the idea these foreign massive multinationals sit there seething for decades about how we pronounce their names, then finally snap and start putting the "proper" way in their ads. Like Nestle, and now Ikea. "Right, we've put up with being called Eye-Keer for years, now they can start saying it right, or we'll close all the human-sized hamster mazes we call shops and then what will they do on rainy bank holidays?"It's only recently it's changed here.

Some very modern rebellious (in a very fashionable conforming sort of way) type telling us what we should know about rules being broken...
For example:
Whiskey should never be drunk with a mixer: Well, you have a nice malt that tastes lovely, why do I want to drown it in sugary coca cola? Something rubbish, fine, but a quality product? Why spend a lot of money on something that tastes lovely and then kill that flavour stone dead - I don't get it.
Only a dash of water - yes - again, a drop takes the heat off and opens some flavour. Too much again, drowns the flavour - rendering the expense pointless.
It should be old - well it needs to be 3 years old to adopt the moniker of scotch anyway, but if you put it in the cask for a bit longer it matures and the flavours all intermingle and becomes distinct and have character.
It should be drunk only by men - I don't think anyone says that, I think the advert is making that up.
The thing about all these rules that were meant to be broken - they are all designed to improve the flavour.
Your advert is using a thin veneer of rebelliousness against convention to cover up the fact your whisky is garbage!

normal haig club is awful ste. I can only assume that the Clubman version (the one supposedly designed to be mixed) is even worse!! Seems hard to believe. It's basically an even more cynical ploy to sell out even further... they are probably using very poor quality spirit which would otherwise be discarded, and mixing it with the sort of ste blends get blended with e.g. corn whiskey. Horrid horrid.

Exactly that, he's barking orders at you, rather than to advise/advertise. It's out right threatening.

+1 If that idiot shouts "What's going on" once more I will stick something sharp up his Gladstone Brooks! Seriously I am amazed this advert is allowed to continue as it is so aggressive and threatening.It came on about 6:00opm yesterday, which is a bit late for that type of "advert" - if you can call it that.
Any detergent advert because, I´m guessing there has been some kind of legal action, they now all end with "Keep away from children". ps off and stop telling me how to exist, especially if it´s in some nausiating 4-year-old´s voice.
It´s like every betting advert reminding me, not that I would ever participate as I´m not a moronic chav, to stop when I start getting addicted so they don´t have to send the boys round.

There are two ambulance chaser ads airing at the moment that are utterly bizarre.
One has a bloke who has probably had a work accident, walking through the warehouse and reflecting on a spillage stain on the floor. Problem is, he has no high viz or hard hat on and just wonders in with a limp. When he sees his mates, they all stop work and look happy.
Another from the same company (don't know who it is) has a woman wondering around a tree reflecting on an event. I guess she had a car accident with the tree. There is a bit of debris on the floor. However, how the hell can you sue a tree?
Very odd and very bloody stupid.

Anything Black Friday is a real grate on the soul and mind. We are not American
This! Americans don't get bozing day, black Friday was originally for family's to go shopping after thanksgiving and shop owners would provide food and drink and it was a nice thing.Now it's just grotesque and there is no reason for us to have sales at that time. FFS

"What the f
k are you doing here? Because you were too fking stupid to secure your ladder properly and then sued the arse out of the company, we all lost our bonuses and we've had to endure hours of extra elf & safety bullst. What part of off and piss do you not understand?" I would also imagine that the bosses would have him frog-marched off the premises PDQ too.
Radio not TV - sorry.
LLoyds bank I think it is re insurance. Goes something like :
My poor gran got burgeled and it was awful now even the yorkie/ small dog hides behind the sofa. Gran was very upset. The Insurance company were great and even arranged a home visit they even joked she should put the yorkie down and get a Rottweiler ? (OK I may have made the last bit up)
Voiceover then goes on about how they care etc.
NO no no they friggin don't they just want to take your premiums and pay as little out as possible that's what insurance is like. They came to your house to see if you were hiking up the claim
