What are the 'advertising' people trying to achieve by all this? Is there anyone on PH involved in this industry that could explain???

I think its simply about making a statement. People talk about the ad it registers in the conscious. You love to hate it you talk about it. Everyone I know who knows the advert knows the company its advertising just as they did with Brian and the meerkat ones.

Of all the comparison sites,the meerkats is the least worst.

Go compare......opera singer.....

Confused.......James Corden and bad driving a Mercedes....

Money supermarket....Sharon Osbourne,then strutters etc....

I think Nationwide are moving up the charts with their patronising poems about life and sharing. They are a Building Society FFS lending other people's money for a profit. Nothing wrong with that, just don't give me the crap poems about how the,y plus their "colleagues", can make everything wonderful!

I only use Compare the Market based on their least annoying advertising. Money Supermarket's first ad was quite funny I suppose - but now it's just ridiculous, not funny (are they trying to be funny?), and seems to be trying to appeal to LGBTQF people (may as well add Fat people to the collection).
This sort of advertising must have a negative effect surely - the advert does work, but I deliberately avoid them?

Terrible.

I don't actually think it's the dog singing. Just saying.

But yes, terrible advert.

[Mcphisto]

Not an advert as such but the promo links that BBC1 have on between programmes, especialy the keep fit class one with the overly enthusiastic teacher putting on stupid faces and the woman who's simply there to make up the numbers on the right.

Yes ,I know what a match is like but these blokes are just posing for a picture ,smashing into each other not required.

dairy milk ad with the bovine idiot mouthing along to "yes sir i can boogie" - nothing entertaining in there whatsoever, it's just pointless things happening on the screen, that are neither funny nor entertaining. Ad agencies are so fking lazy.

His mouth just weirds me out, it's like it's too small for his face!

I joined this forum just now for one reason; to reply to this comment. I'm absolutely pissing myself laughing. This advert just came on tv and I had to google it to see if anyone else felt the same way I do. I fking hate that fkers face and mouth. Only just came back to the uk after almost a decade away, so had no idea it'd been airing for a while now, I thought it was a new advert. His face is ridiculous, I want to punch the telly when that ad comes on.

For me it's the 'fast paced' piano with annoying non-stop singing/talking that they do to promote something about science education, I try not to pay any attention to it and immediately reach for the remote.
There's probably a name for this type of 'music' (ste is what I call it). Vaguely remember Victoria Wood doing this sort of thing ?
Bugs the st out of me.

It's a riff on Tom Lehrer's "The Elements", which is in turn based on a Gilbert and Sullivan song "The Very Model of a Modern Major-General". Wikipedia describes it as a 'patter song'.

Why does the new Domestos advert sound like the latest single from Olly Murs?

Adverts like that do make me wonder about how companies are run - they will have spanked a lot of money on that advert, the ad agency's brightest minds wil have worked on it, it will have been signed off by someone senior at the ad agency before it went to the client, someone senior at the client will have signed off on it - and yet it's a complete turd.

An advert for Chicago Town frozen pizza; it's escaped from the late 80s/early 90s period that brought us MC Hammer and harem pants.

Bradley Wiggins in the new Skoda advert, team sky is sponsored by Jaguar I believe.
