Basically 5 second of rubbish followed by 25 seconds of people going oooooOOOOOooooooOOOOoooooo
Think the concept must have bee dreamt up by a 3 year old
I was wondering if this one had been mentioned. I saw it for the first time yesterday, and immediately went "What an utterly sBasically 5 second of rubbish followed by 25 seconds of people going oooooOOOOOooooooOOOOoooooo

t advert" and walked away from the TV. Still don't have a clue what it was supposed to be for.shih tzu faced said:

Spelt as above with no capital 'A' at the start.
Seen the ad several times and still have absolutely no idea what they do or sell.
Doesn't annoy me as such, just totally baffles me.
when your an organisation and you want to do something but your entire management chain are too thick to understand it, or think they can do it cheaply without investing money into their own staff - they bring them in, who then charge tons of money and usually dont give you exactly what you wanted, but more along the lines of what they think you want and have done it before for someone else that they also charged mega money for.Spelt as above with no capital 'A' at the start.

Cheers for that, they'll probably be kept busy then! (based on my experience of management chains)

hell, even i thought i had some sort of episode just watching it,
what makes me
is, i was big fan of bill, but my god, what the hell was he thinking, 
all im wondering now, is how the f**k did that meeting go,
it prob went something like this
Pc world rep: Hi bill, we are going to do a new advert, and we want you in it, you'll love this,
Bill, what is it,
Pc world rep: we have this crap hp laptop, and you are going to ask if it boots up quick,
Bill, hmm, interesting, tell me more
Pc world rep: then we are going to put you up on a big gantry, strapped to a harness, with some angel wings on your back, holding a guitar,
Bill, lovely,
Pc world rep: but wait the best bit is this, we then slide you down to the laptop, and its booted up,
Bill: and will people like this s**t,
Pc world rep: Absolutely, we are onto a winner here, dont worry we will pay you a decent amount, the sales will come flying in
Bill: great where do i sign

YouTube seems to be usurping tv ads for irritation value at the moment. The amount of absolute throbbers telling me they’re trading experts is becoming grating. 
quite why I’m being targeted by them I have no idea as it’s of no interest.
Why dont you get an adblocker so you don't see any Youtube adverts? quite why I’m being targeted by them I have no idea as it’s of no interest.anonymoususer said:

Not sure if it’s already here, but that bloody new climate change advert with the kids.
They need a war or national service to sort them out or some other such old person comment.
I bet my carbon footprint at their age was lower than theirs now!
The tubby little asian american kid saying *I'm only 6 you work it out" amuses me as I always end up thinking if you keep on eating like that you'll not live long enough to need to worry about climate change fella!!!

Not seen it for a while, but the Aviva pet shop crash one is back.
I rather doubt that if you call them, somebody answers and says "Hello, Aviva". More likely : "Press 1 for car insurance, Press 2 for House insurance, press 1, 5, 4, 6, 2, 7, 4, 7, 4, 3, 7, 5, 6, 5, 7, 5, 3, 6, 7, 4, 3, 6, 8, 0, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4 if you've crashed into a pet shop".

The "Pile-'em-high-and sell-'em-expensive" car companies appear to have carved cricket sponsorship up between them, and their adverts are truly execrable and cringeworthy at the same time.
Somebody senior at Cinch obviously thought it was a good idea to employ a creepy toothsome idiot with poor diction to promote their products, while Cazoo have gone for full-on condescension, reassuring the feckless and gullible with "All our cars are given a 300-point check, and are carefully reconditioned".
Of course they are.
