Direct Line with Harvey Keitel reprising his role as problem-solver Winston Wolfe. The ads just don't work.
Keitel was in late middle age when Pulp Fiction came out twenty-odd years ago and now he's just downright old. He's lost weight and looks as if he's been unwillingly levered out of his armchair where he was happily watching Pointless and sucking on a Werther's Original.
Furthermore the defining aspect of the Winston Wolfe character was that he was fast. He drove fast, he talked fast he was fast. Keitel's character has ditched the NSX in the advert and now drives a famously low-powered Toyota GT86. Slowly.
I think the add is lost on many people (even many of those who watched the movie all those years ago) as Wolfe was a bit characterKeitel was in late middle age when Pulp Fiction came out twenty-odd years ago and now he's just downright old.

.I had no idea it was Harvey Keitel!!
I've made it a point of never buying anything as a result of an advert. And do car ads actually persuade people to buy said car. Must admit I did like the Audi one showing an exposed engine running up thro the gears to max revs in each gear. My wife thought it was hooliganism tho. People shouldn't drive like that do they she said.

Motoring porn. Another breathy cover version, this time 'you're the one that I want' from Grease, but slowed down to the point of ridiculousness in a Chanel ad. On the plus side you get Gisele flailing about in swimwear, which is nice.

She is beginning to look like SJP's more attractive sister though.

If we're talking about advert characters with ladies way out of their league look no further than the moonfaced ginger oaf in the current BT TV ad. If I was going to lock myself in a flat with the blond piece for 3 days' straight it would be more of a case of Breaking Bed then Breaking Bad. The TV ad is backed up by an equally annoying radio spot where she obviously needs a seeing to and all he wants is to watch X-Men, the .
Very much this, she must be wanting tied to the bed and shagged till you just cant anymore, never mind the tv, its on demand, watch it after shagging..Rick_1138 said:

‘Peter goes to iceland'…..
Pug faced, vain, talentless, faux self deprecating whiner…..goes to the food equivalent of £ land, where a gaggle of tired looking, tramp stamped munters, stub out their last embassy regal’s and are stunned how this self proclaimed Adonis could grace their grey, vacuous lives by visiting Kerry Katona’s fridge compartment.
But oh, the ironic twist, better than Bryan Singer could ever have dreamt of….Pug, is blissfully unaware of this fawning ( though has taken 2 days to gel his silly hair, and cover himself in gravy browning), and points to a 300 kilo synthetic cake and drops to his knees in awe at this new 9th Wonder of the World.

Without a doubt the best thing I've ever read on PH - editorial included.
I salute you.
