it's christmas.

argos xmas advert features the creepy toys again.

all phone adverts just seem to focus on the camera part of it. i saw one that was over 100M pixels, which is about 10 times wider than any monitor.

i have missed this controversy. what gives?

koogs, Saturday, 4 November 2023 12:15 (eleven months ago) link

There's a pretty widely shared social media conspiracy that the M&S Christmas advert is anti-Palestine propaganda due a twitter post they shared that features red, white and green decorations in the fire.

People have since doubled down in various ways including that Sophie Ellis-Bextor has blue eyeshadow so that 'proves it', or countering the ad being filmed in August as 'proof' that Mossad has been planning this offensive for months.

i wonder if Muslims or Jews care about Christmas adverts at all

the lidl Xmas advert features that old traditional figure of Christmas, the raccoon.

Ohhh, that's what it is. I couldn't understand why people were getting so incensed about that particular thing. I have seen some of the angry messages from people who think that the "national department store" hates Christmas, which is a weird think to think about a SHOP.

trishyb, Saturday, 4 November 2023 14:54 (eleven months ago) link

ok, i think the tweet i posted was more specifically about this

I am sending this complaint letter to M&S @marksandspencer

We should all be complaining.

This is a fight for everything we should believe in.

Do not sit this one out.

Write a letter of complaint about that advert!! pic.twitter.com/3aw58Uw2FZ

Yeah, there seems to be a feeling that the perfectly reasonable M&S "only do the bits of Christmas you like and don't feel under pressure to row in with the traditions you don't like" Christmas ad campaign is a WAR ON CHRISTMAS and undermining BRITISH values in BRITAIN.

trishyb, Sunday, 5 November 2023 14:44 (eleven months ago) link

Birbalsingh has a very Ava from Abbott Elementary kind of headteacher workload.

nashwan, Sunday, 5 November 2023 15:02 (eleven months ago) link

thanks for explaining what the advert is about, Trish. i had them all down as not liking the tacky bits of Christmas, but SEB was torching perfectly untacky cards.

she was also wearing blue eye shadow though, so who knows

koogs, Sunday, 5 November 2023 15:25 (eleven months ago) link

Ah I hadn't seen that post, thanks, makes more specific sense.

"You have a duty as our national department store to keep the spirit of Christmas alive..."

lol

Have u noticed how many commercials are advertising products for “…my/our/your business.”

i was going to ignore the irritation of "Asda have a poppin' offer" - a classic ad-speak "things no human being has ever said, ever" pain in the brain, but they've really ramped up the repetition of the ad over the weekend and fuck them, it's horrible, i hate it

Tyler Perry's Cystitis (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2023 16:49 (eleven months ago) link

only noticed the 'self-inflicted injury' disclaimer on the over 50s life insurance ads this morning. that's pretty grim.

Energizer Noir, what the fuck is wrong with you American ad industry?

Honnest Brish Face (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 9 December 2023 11:24 (ten months ago) link

god bless whoever decided to dub in the "yes"es on the Armani Si advert, for monolingual viewers who don't get it

Honnest Brish Face (Noodle Vague), Friday, 15 December 2023 07:20 (ten months ago) link

they are asking questions about the new corsa. the third one they ask is 'will it charge my phone?'

koogs, Tuesday, 19 December 2023 09:44 (ten months ago) link

what's the car that's advertising chat GPT included? presumably so you can follow driving instructions that get more and more wrong as you progress on your way.

Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 19 December 2023 10:44 (ten months ago) link

the Heinz Beans ad really is vile and i expect it'll be gone or edited v differently in pretty short order

Still on, shorter but mostly the same...

Tesco Whoosh. not necessarily the bumper ads, more just the name.

the 'on the beach' advert, his accent makes me hear 'fucking geniuses' every time

koogs, Wednesday, 3 January 2024 18:04 (nine months ago) link

Yes, before the New Year I was actually looking for a Youtube of that to post here!

nothing more Marxist than soundtracking a hotels.com advert

emishi sun hack (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 4 January 2024 21:51 (nine months ago) link

I know, right?

It doesn't actually sound like them, though! I'm guessing it's the publisher that's OKed this.

Mark G, Thursday, 4 January 2024 22:09 (nine months ago) link

I mentioned in one of their threads but little did I know they'd already been used for various other adverts.

Little Billy Love (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 January 2024 22:43 (nine months ago) link

are/were they 'marxist' like spectator columnists though? thats what i read somewhere once.

plax (ico), Thursday, 4 January 2024 22:57 (nine months ago) link

I guess that's where they are now, at any rate

emishi sun hack (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 4 January 2024 23:11 (nine months ago) link

who are you on about?

kinder, Friday, 5 January 2024 15:30 (nine months ago) link

I'm having fun guessing. Stereolab? Radiohead?

Daniel_Rf, Friday, 5 January 2024 15:33 (nine months ago) link

stereolab. lo boob oscilator is used on some ad. see the future of stereolab thread.

koogs, Friday, 5 January 2024 17:16 (nine months ago) link

Lol I didn't even look at that one

I can't decide whether the pitiful non-acting of the fake phone call "oh the poor thing" or the pompous fuckwit giving it "it's just completely unacceptable" is the worst bit of the RSPCA advert but it might well be my most hated ad of all time

wang mang band (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 27 January 2024 18:51 (nine months ago) link

We have to talk about the Dormeo Octapsring adverts. It might be that these are only on Freeview, if they are count yourself lucky as they are the longest most boring adverts imaginable as well as being on all the time. The other thing is the shouty enthusiastic voiceover guy has a very odd and annoying way of pronouncing the letter "o", which is unfortunate as the word "foam" is mentioned 300 times, "bonus" 200 times, "zone", "sofa" etc.

"that true, restful sleep"

yeah this is some fucked up Americana shit, fallout from a very strange mattress culture

wang mang band (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 February 2024 07:57 (eight months ago) link

funnily enough i need a new mattress but i'm not paying whatever wacky price these lads are asking

wang mang band (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 February 2024 07:58 (eight months ago) link

while i'm on, the Lenor Dream Team are a bunch of freaks and that dubbing isn't fooling anybody

wang mang band (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 February 2024 07:59 (eight months ago) link

i'm sure you could sleep forever on a series of 100-day loan matresses

This is one of my favorite songs. Thankfully it hasn't ruined it for me yet.

The commercial that I hate more than anything is that Jet2Go one with the "I'm ready for this . . ." song. MAKE IT STOP.

... by the way, is that The Shend playing Tony the dead biker?

The British Boy of Film Classification (Tom D.), Friday, 2 February 2024 07:50 (eight months ago) link

I think so! As someone said elsewhere, how have they fitted The Shend into that coffin?

Michael Jones, Friday, 2 February 2024 09:27 (eight months ago) link

The thing about the Stereolab ad is it makes me so relieved it's not that horrible cover of "Roam" that I don't have much energy left to feel outraged.

Daniel_Rf, Friday, 2 February 2024 09:53 (eight months ago) link

It's one of those tracks I don't mind hearing for whatever reason. A bit like those Marc Jacobs ones that used Suicide...

Mark G, Friday, 2 February 2024 10:11 (eight months ago) link

Fuck that daisy daisy daisy shite though.

used ITV X for the first time and was repeatedly faced with a terrifying Wiltshire Council advert about flytipping (you MAY be prosecuted) with a banner at the bottom throughout with an owl staring into my soul. this was the only light i had going at 3am.

I loathe the daisy daisy daisy ad beyond comprehension. My least favourite advert of the past few years.
