"Radio Halifax" advert......oh dear

[DjSki]

Seen this advert?

Why would a Halifax radio station manned by feck-wits make anyone want to move their banking over. They appear to have a group of retards running the station.

I was just thinking how bad this ad was earlier.

And just when you think it can't get worse and is about to end, a second half starts with some guy with his head in a waste paper bin. Did no one look at the final cut and think "It was funnier on paper".

[Langweilig]

Whoever conceived that advert should be carted off to the funny farm at once.

[subwayandoreos]

whoever made that should be nuked, and i dont even care if theyre my neighbours theyre still getting nuked!

[ajprice]

Now, I really don't like Radio Halifax, but I also really don't like Howard. But which one's worst?

[CatherineJ]

It is truly dreadful.

[Gun]

It may have got attention but I bet the OP won't go and open a Halifax account for a while, it's the same for me with those Swiftcover add with Iggy Pop.

[Chimune]

"Come to Halifax Bank. We're a bunch of amateurs!"

Perhaps the next ad will be some borderline remedials not organising a pissup in a brewery...

[Steamer]

I had a rant about this advert in the 'adverts that make you want to smash...' post.

Yes, it is truly awful... however at least they are all in one building, all we have to do is find out where & when.

There is another problem I have with it though, and thats the song:



...Its my own personal anthem, the song rocks!! - please don't tar the song with same stty brush as the rest of the advert!

They are just as crap at making adverts as they are at banking.

Although some of their ads are spookily prophetic:

I have just realised that the people in this advert are actually very representative of those working in retail banking these days......

I always used to think of the Monty Python one when thatw as on TV, with the building full of pirates doing agressive takeovers.
