Can anybody explain the Jeremy Clarkson/Amazon firs stick advert, were he sends some sticks across the channel with drones?

I've watched it a couple of times and just can't seem to get the gist of it.
Where he says he is going to be sending some fire sticks to our friends in Europe, snigger?

I've been trying to get it, wasn't sure if it was a WW2 reference about sending over bombs? I have no idea, I know it's meant to be a bit funny in a not particularly PC way but I just don't know how or why.

I think its really quite confused and muddled...and there are parts which seem to be pitching GT as an international product and making use of Clarkson's stand point as a prominent remainer - and other parts seem to be depicting him as the little Englander which is his TV persona.

I think the drones are just because Amazon want to push their drone thing.

Yes, very confused. Only thing I'm sure of is that he is making an absolute fortune doing whatever it is he is doing.

Moose? But in the first advert the dogs name is Lewis, he says Lewis, clear as day, no ambiguity whatsoever, he says Lewis.

If the dogs name is in fact Moose, then why in the juddering fk is he calling it Lewis in the first advert and Mush in the second?

Sad that I am, just checked on the Clearscore Twitter account and the dog is indeed called Moose.

Strange.

That job app (red background on the app), maybe called "job appy" or something equally disgusting.

Some girl is not spending time with her family because she's on her phone.... "little does she know that I've used this app to find a new job"

  • poof*
now she's a waitress...

hurrah that's something worth aspiring for.

I suppose can see the argument in this day and age when it only take 3 people to get an advert banned for whatever reason froths out of their mouth to ensure they don't oversell but really.

I guess I'm also unbelievably snobby, but why not make her a chef?
To be fair I would not be surprised if 90% of the jobs that result from using that app are for something involving getting at least topless, so getting a waitress job out of it would be a bit of a result.

The one for, I think, Worxsaw. The ad is fine, except it has a backing track that sounds almost like "Smoke on the Water", but not quite close enough for the lawyers to get involved.

The ones for the coffee thing with Will I Am. The You Tube versions are even worse. I just don't get Will I AM he pops up all over the place he is like a media luvvy. He stands there with his exciteable ramblings and looks like his eyes are about to pop out.

He was on Graham Norton. Chris Pratt was doing a card trick and asked him to pick a card. When asked what card he had picked he said it was an A. He had no clue about cards at all. He lives in a bubble, also had ear pods in during the whole show and was wearing a vision in biege that Roger Moore would have worn if James Bond had been an 80 year old woman.

On one of Bill Hicks' CDs he complains about audiences "staring at me like a dog that's been shown a card trick". I now know exactly what he means. hehe

I think its a Talk Talk advert with a fat couple sat on a sofa and the woman laughing the most annoying, horrible, laugh/screech ever. This woman needs to be shot!


That one made my teeth itch yikesyikes
If Mrs Biker 'laughed' like that, I'd have her shot for sure!!! Who the fk thought this st was in any way amusing or a good idea to sell something? Come to think of it, the 'creators' of this shizzle should be shot also.

THIS... but shootings is too good for her... Clubbed to death with one of those passion killing, disgusting, wedgey things on her feet would be preferable.

Bad news... the original annoying couple and their talking dog are back in a new annoying ad for that credit ratings check company.
The dog asks where he's going and the bloke replies "Lanzhasmush", after seeing it several times I've finally worked out he's saying "Nan's house Lewis".
"Nan's house, Moose!"

I actually like the 2 ads for Clearscore, the talking dog makes me chuckle.

Although I have no idea why people need to check their credit score all the time....confused
