I wish someone would use Nico's "We've Got the Gold" in one of these give us yer jewellery adverts

It's lucky that Spandau Ballet have reformed, otherwise we'd have the treat of Tony Hadley saying "Send us your gold! (GOLD!!!)"

I did resist that one, E"B"A...

What's the advert where the woman says, "It's so quick and easy..." but every time it sounds EXACTLY like, "It's so frickin' easy..."?

New Cadbury Caramel posters are on some next level Furry shit btw.

That is a rabbit. They are asking their customers to be sexually aroused by a rabbit. What the fuck is wrong with people?

If it's anything like the old ads, it's a rabbit with the voice of Miriam Margolyes.

Yeah I know. Running a Furry-bait ad 10 years before the WWW took off is pretty ground-breaking.

Geir Hypothesis (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 29 October 2009 20:14 (fourteen years ago) link

It's like that bit in Wayne's World where Garth admits to being turned on by the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs dresses as a woman.

i thought halifax adverts had reached their nadir with howard. how wrong i was...

that new one with the "radio station"? I thought I was having some kind of turn, it's utterly grotesque.

the worst thing about going home for xmas was watching TV adverts again for first time in ages

mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 11:32 (fourteen years ago) link

during the ad break after man u-leeds finished the first advert was a just for men advert that actually drew incredulous laughs from my friend and i

then that swiftcover advert turned up. along with an actually-funny walkers commercial. well, funny the first time. sort of.

oh josh. you tried to make something of your life. but all you ended up doing was irrationally enraging a few commuters. then they put you on tv. next you'll be leading a flashmob in one of london's major transport nodes at rush-hour. at which point they will send in the combine harvesters.

I thought this was going to be about the rollerskating evian babies. disappointed.

salsa sharkshavin (salsa shark), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 14:37 (fourteen years ago) link

those are too uncanny-valley creepy to be anything but a strongly repressed memory

Electric Universe (wherever that is) (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh god, the rollerskating babies are actually worse than the Halifax ad. Surely there was a point during the making of it, which would have involved dozens of people, where someone pointed out that it is terrifying rather than cuet?

Bill A, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 15:25 (fourteen years ago) link

I don't know, at least 150 000 weirdos seem to like them (minus the few who have probably joined for the purpose of spamming)

salsa sharkshavin (salsa shark), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 15:37 (fourteen years ago) link

Was saying to a friend last night that what's creepiest about the Evian Babies advert is it feels like an advert that will be loved by people who love babies so much that they feel compelled to go out and steal one.

Then stick it on roller skates.

Oh my word, I've saw that Halifax ad for the first time. Seriously fuck all these people, if they must piss our money away can't they have the dignity to do it away from the public gaze.

halifax have hit a new low with the "ISA ISA Baby" ad

koogs, Saturday, 20 March 2010 15:58 (fourteen years ago) link

BT Broadband ad that that doesn't even use the right Stereo MCs song as it's backing track - it uses "Step It Up" instead of "Connected".

halifax have hit a new low with the "ISA ISA Baby" ad

see, I don't think this is quite as bad as the previous two. It's a dreadful shitty pun, but at least there's no reliance on "The Reward Horn" or unsettling fake arms for high-fivin' this time. Mercifully, it seems slightly shorter as well.

Sfm!
That 'CASH MY GOLD' advert is really grating now, as are those ryvita minis ads where women are fighting over the food equivalent of cardboard.

Didn't think anything would upset my fangirl self more than seeing Iggy Pop in an insurance ad but I've just seen Benicio Del Toro in an awful advert for a brand new kind of magnum ice cream. It was bleak.

I have that reaction against the toothpaste ad.

It's been re-edited but still..

Follows lad from sliding down the bannister, to kiss from girl in class and so on. The way he turns to the camera and smugly smiles.etc..

"cheeky volvic"

Black Arkestra, Friday, 30 April 2010 14:46 (thirteen years ago) link

is that the volvic challenge thing? I want to murder that man.

village idiot (dog latin), Friday, 30 April 2010 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link

You one a challenge for drinking water - what do you want a fucking medal you horse-faced surfer-dude wannabe?? Sometimes I like to go outside for a "cheeky breath of fresh air", that doesn't make it a challenge.

village idiot (dog latin), Friday, 30 April 2010 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link

the really annoying thing about the volvic advert is its based on the myth that you need to consume a metric ton of pure water a day.
