PC World adverts

So way off areal life experience it's a joke.
Advert : The Lenovo whatever my family love it does this does that has a pentium processor blah blah
Reality : Lenovo great but you need our warranty and our anti virus and office I cant sell you it without I wouldn't be doing my job, what do you mean you don't need it think of my kids etc
Also Currys PC World have changed their slogan several times over the last 18 months I think they are up to 4 now

As I've said before their habit of saying prices like phone numbers ("now only two-five-nine") makes my teeth itch, especially as they pointedly use real numbers when it's money off ("Save one hundred and fifty pounds, now only four-four-nine").

They obviously think (possibly correctly) that the British public are so stupid they won't think it's real money if they just read out the numbers.

Halifax / Scooby Doo advert, I just don't get who their target audience is for that one?

[BugLebowski]

Haven't read through this thread, but every single Nationwide advert where they have some pillock on reading poetry annoys me so much.

[Dennis99]

Herbal Essences hair washing jollop, "makes your hair alive!" Yeah so does nits!

[Vipers]

The new PPI one with Arnie, apparantly he got over a mil for the ad, and the ad is crap.

[AlexRS2782]

First Direct with the astronaut "breaking free from the norm" (if you believe their marketing agency blurb).

[lucido grigio]

That ^^^^one.

And an Esso ad which seems to be in Swedish or Danish but it's rubbish whatever language it comes in.

Still love the Boddingtons advert

Mel was pretty stunning. A mate of mine at the time was a spit of her, It was pretty funny watching blokes trip over themselves when we were all out in town.

I don't know the name of the service but it's something like:

"I always thought I was half pigmy, half dog and full hipster but thanks to some stupid genealogy service it turns out I'm a viking!"

I hate his face, I think he's called Alex so now I hate all people called Alex including one of my best mates. Then to top it all I saw some woman doing the same advert, or maybe it was Alex after he shaved the beard and let his hair down.

Everyone called Alex is automatically a tt, and I'm called Alex.

Generally ignore adverts / ffwd, but a titter ran round the audience with Hotels.com, otherwise usually annoying ads, when Halifax Howard wandered in and got told to bugger off, wrong advert Howard. Presumably Halifax has a stake in hotels.com then, there's always a back story.

[AlexRS2782]

New one today courtesy of Mercedes flogging the new GLA SUV / Crossover.

Apart from the advert itself it's the strapline; "Time to grow up and start a family" that's much worse. Why would you want to do that if it means you have to drive that fugly piece of metal.

Edit - also Sixt car rental asking you to "Drive Smug" and Norwegian "it's just like in the movies" travel / holidays.

Howard hasn't worked for Halifax for a few years now.

Just one of many. Most adverts now (along with most things on TV) are just liberalist shyte aimed at brainwashing the gullible public into thinking the abnormal is normal.

I like it too but I suspect seeing it at least once a day for the next two years may make me go off it

I just saw that one, feckin annoying.

Can we also add the new Admiral Multicar one in as well, truly terrible.

Do you mean the multicover one,where they now cover house n car ?

Pratt's Bottom......

Yep, but I can't be the only one thinking what I'm thinking about 'The Admiral' though? eh? eh?

You're not the only one....

I'm all for 'tapping the admiral'...

And, of course, the woman is the super-clever boss and the "helper" is a bumbling idiot bloke with a terrible neck-beard and a badly fitting suit.

She does have a nice arse though.

Works for me, I certainly won't look twice when I see two cartoon characters dancing in my local. And now if you'll excuse me, it's breakfast time and this tiger has just persuaded me that these sugar-coated corn flakes are the bee's knees.
