Does the entire Innocent Smoothies aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating?

Brewdog's short run taxidermy publicity stunt editions are pretty noize tbf

i don't think this kind of thing has really caught on the US yet

'Happy Days' makes me think of that awful payday-loan-hawking cricket cunt Phil Tuffnell.

My Tesco bagged salad has a skirt-wearing stick figure on the back and a Comic Sans story about some presumably imaginary lady growing their salad garden and all her brilliant ideas for growing better salads and then in bigger Comic Sans it says "we all think she's a bit of a star!"

Well, we all think you can fuck right off, Tesco marketing department.

That is all.

Apparently my "call to grubhub may be recorded to ensure awesomeness"

gah

Yeesh. I look fwd to them patronising the other gold medal winners with regard to their epic "chasing people on bikes", "running really, really fast" and "shooting pigeons (not real ones!)" etc. Fuckers.

wow the stuff they post on facebook

Letitia Jane Becher - as tempting as it would be to spend our days forging adorable letters from small children, we have better things to do with our time. Namely, finding pictures of baby duck billed platypuses to share with you on facebook, and sometimes squashing fruit into bottles, which keeps us pretty busy. Pictures of baby duck billed platypuses don't just find themselves you know, and it takes ages to get even the smallest of mangoes into a bottle.

Ugh.

this ad is tied into videos at my work, and i have to watch it a lot. god it's shit. bonus points for the ever-popular trustworthy northern narrator.

(innocent have moved, btw. the industrial estate in W12 (W6?) where Innocent Towers used to be now has a sign on the locked gate saying 'luxury apartments coming soon')

xp I thought it was David "Bumble" Lloyd?

i dunno, i was joking. sounds too young for Bumble to me.

no, it cd be him on re-listening

shd've given the gig to Michael Holding, i wd actually buy anything he asked me to his voice is so lush

you heard it here first, vendors of financial products!

I think it is Bumble. Friend of mine was in a pub in Birmingham once where David Lloyd and Bob Dylan Willis were sitting in a pub with some young women (surely daughters or... something) at about half ten in the evening, and Bumble was being cheerful and talkative and Bob Willis was staring gloomily across the table, and then said in his unassuageably dreary tones, 'Do you fancy another, Bumble, or are you done?'. He wouldn't sell many smoothies.

Holding could sell anything for sure, but I'm slightly scarred by the memory of two comments he made during a West Indies/England Test a number of years ago now (could it have been that series where Harmison went berserk?). Anyway, the camera was panning around the all but empty stadium, and Holding's gentle warm accents gave forth the line, 'Not many people here today. Not many people at all. There wouldn't be many casualties if there was a terrorist attack here.' THEN, a bit later or the next day or something, the camera panned over to a boy sitting up a palm tree outside the ground, watching the cricket. A bucolic scene + avoiding any terrorism. Holding goes 'Lad up a tree there. Watching the cricket. Hope he's sitting safe, he could break his neck if he falls out.'

Dark places, Mikey, dark places. Still, yes, would buy a broken neck/large-scale-minimum casualty-terrorist attack off the guy.

think we need some recognition of all the dreadful animated adverts for financial products etc full of human/soft-toy hybrids in a pantheistic wonderland

there really are a lot of these

i just don't get who they're supposed to be influencing. i can't even remember who the above one is for and i've had to watch it about 100 times.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc9yKO-OCAc

and the recurrent use of 'that's why we' in adverts

homely sounding northerner: nobody likes seeing their child abducted and murdered

{animated child carrying teddybear wanders off into enchanted forest}

homely sounding northerner: that's why we provide child-abduction-and-murder insurance at no extra cost

proper whippet-powered northern broadband (­­¿wtf?)

see what this partisan distrust of the capital has wrought

i like meerkats as much as the next man but if you base your decision to purchase home insurance based on the offer of a cuddly toy then you probably shdn't be running the household budget tbh

our insurance is shit (images of your family homeless after a flood)that's why we target idiots in our marketing

Lol @ 'that's why we' - this never fails to make me shout at the telly

"we're passionate about (x)"

also "that's why at" in same role as "that's why we"

"at * we're passionate about * and that's why"
