Just seen the vauxhall advert that says their customers are jobless skank wasters that can't even be bothered to get dressed in the morning.
What's the opposite of aspirational?
Maybe they're trying to encourage purchases from the Council/Motability brigade. A sort of "do you recognise yourself in this ad?" scenario. Pity they used pretty models to make the ad, not the usual munters we see at the school gates.What's the opposite of aspirational?

This, which has many times made me wonder: the go compare adverts are clearly following a theme that is knowingly annoying, although you almost hope there is a (small and deranged) percentage of the population that 'like' it; but it winds up many including me - so is there data on the net benefit of these s
tty ads? So they are betting that pissing off 50% of the population is worth it to be 'quirky and interesting' to 10-15% that then call them?
They did replace it for a while with something else didn't they? It was so dull I can't remember what it was (which says something for how good it was...n't), something about signposts and a fictional town name that possibly was supposed to look Welsh. They must have had some stats showing nobody was noticing it, maybe fewer hits on their websites, so decided to bring him back.tty ads?

Estrella Damm advert / trailer for the cringey hipster Spanish short film from some old dude nobody has ever heard of.
Prolly been posted before. But it is so sh*t. Cannot believe anyone aspires to such nonsense just because it looks like the Ibiza trip they did a few years ago.
Yep, I mentioned it earlier when it infested I think the Le Mans coverage on Eurosport. Pretentious product placement short films.Prolly been posted before. But it is so sh*t. Cannot believe anyone aspires to such nonsense just because it looks like the Ibiza trip they did a few years ago.
I didn't quite get it - is anyone actually logging on to watch these films on the website?
However - Laia Costa...
Have we had the ones with the Sun and you buy 28 (non-consecutive this is important apparently) copies and you get a £5... I am hoping I've been a right pillock and forgotten something but the sun is 30p? So spend £8.40 and get a free fiver? It is a ruse so that all those who redeem said fiver are rounded up and sterilised?
Maybe I'm off the mark with the above but then the adverts are fking stupid in themselves, various scenarios where men and getting all excited about a fking fiver (while possibly failing to do basic maths) while they ps off their women folk in entirely unfunny ways.
I knew there was a reason why I don't even think the sun is worth getting for my cats to st on...

No, The Sun is 50p, so you have to spend £14 to get a fiver, meaning you are still out of pocket by £9 AND you have had to buy The SunMaybe I'm off the mark with the above but then the adverts are f

And a trailer, rather than an advert: for the new series of Hospital, delivered by a bloke speaking slowly in an incredibly, deep gravelly voice just to hammer home the point that it will be hard hitting, no holds barred, incisive, unflinching [continue cliche list here:...].
