Worst TV adverts of the moment

Can't wait to see Simon Fowler in the next Volvo campaign.

"The Day We Caught The Train (Because My Volvo's Engine Packed Up)"

"I never saw it as a coupe, it's more like a spacious estate"

Mark from Ride is lined up for the next Renault ad...

It's no Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley.

whitehouse as a father watching over his family as they leave for a holiday, enumerating all the different ways they will be provided for, because dun dun dun, he's pan bread

Funnily enough, I 'got' that he was brown immediately. And I didn't even know why until I saw the ad again. There is a subtle clue in the first shot.

So, for that kind of attention to detail, it gets a half-point from me.

The three passports?

yep.

Probably being a family of four, I clicked straightaway.

It took me until the second viewing to catch that detail. First time round I was all like "oh no...he's not...surely they cannot deem this suitable for an ad??".

And Gaz Coombes? Guess that Liam was unavailable.

God, if only if could have been a cameo from Noel, ideally as he emerges from a Londis or betting shop.

"MOUNTAIN TOP!!!"

our house

can't see youtube was coming to post grandmaster flash and the suburban nappies

Anyone who likes 'the message' by grandmaster flash: don't watch the KIA ad I implore you!

Kids in the front room, OAPs in the back
Lib/Cons in the alley trying to increase VAT
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
'cause Kia make stupid piece-of-shit cars

huhhuh huhhuh

Just saw the Yell advert. Don't understand the haterz tbh, I thought it was kinda sweet.

Fuck that Virgin Mobile ad that has some voiceover guy speaking the lyrics to 'House Of Fun' by Madness.

read this thread and you'll find out about the bad adverts

more than freeman

i'm never eating Jammy Dodgers again

Plusnet - "Good Honest Broadband From Yorkshire"

I want the family in this to perish in a fire.

Not a TV ad but...
"There you are, streaming stuff like there's no tomorrow" but then some fucker tries to sell you Sky broadband.

Jennifer Saunders' 'Choccy Philly I'll Do Anything For Money Don't Be Silly' ad. When I want to smear excrement coloured chocolate gunk on bread, I buy a jar of Nutella, thank you very much. Also I have one of those purple plastic megaphones. Only £9.99 from Maplin, what a bargain.

I can't tell if this is amazing or terrible:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2_TCZSQzrM

going for amazing... but hearing people repeating that, even once, would change my mind

I saw that ad for the first time the other day. I'm going for terrible.

Going for terrible. Physically cringing here.

The bit where he threw the tea out of the window was funny, they should have made the advert more like "oh, this tea is shite <throws tea out of window> what you want is... Aldi Cheap-o Tea!"

It's not shown outside Scotland, right? I assume giving it laldy isn't a concept familiar enough to hang a slogan on anywhere else?

That volkswagen one at the moment showing haircuts, accessories etc supposedly from certain years in the past - it's not a terrible advert, but it seems to have been put together by people with no memory of life before the year 2000. The 'boombox' shot from 1995 is at least ten years out, same as the 70s style tennis video game.

These twinings adverts are extraordinary. I think I'm in love. With the adverts, the girl, walking on the beach, the sky, clouds, life itself.

this 404 link otoh breaks my heart

Charlene does indeed manage to make it look completely effortless to produce such a beautiful voice and song.

And I'm so glad it has come to Twinings attention that women today juggle numerous roles on a day to day basis.

why is that bull dressed up like something from dickens and talking like tim nice-but-dim to try and sell us curry sauce. does not compute.

British Telecom have a broadband service called 'Infinity'. They've just started a new, faster service called... 'Infinity 2' Twice as much infinity as before!

I don't think I get the Dulux one where they paint the room yellow & the son moves out. Is it meant to be too blinding for his daily hangovers?

what's with that shaving ad where the guy goes around the world in 5 weeks but only needs one razor. first of all, people who do "around the world in 5 weeks" are neckbeards, no doubt about it. secondly, who are you selling this shit to!?

how about those "Men at Work" commercials, where they're all standing against a blank set, "we could pretend this is a set" like they're some fuckin horrible improv troupe. "I'm chatting up only one lady...but she's the most beautiful lady in the room". "THAT'S MY MOM!!" "IM AT A BAR WITH MOM!" buuuurn, baby!! LOL

ugh, using Philadelphia in those recipes a) costs more than and b) doesn't taste as good as using double cream and freshly grated parmesan.

has anyone ever described their teeth as "squeaking clean".

Not until that fucking advert, no. Could it be based on a "kiss this guy" style mishearing of "squeaky clean" by the creative responsible?
