Worst TV adverts of the moment

those adverts for MRI imaging systems puzzle me. who's going to buy expensive, specialised medical equipment after seeing it in the middle of coronation street?

Caught the full-length Sheila's Wheels advert this morning and, thanks to the live pause function on Sky+, I'm pretty sure that it's actually a kangeroo behind the wheel.

Tom Cruise?

2. Ginger kid on LSD breaks into people's sheds and bedrooms and asks "what do you keep in this vase?" "how long are you going to feel like THAT for?" "What's wrong with your face?", then the voiceover bloke, in a "for fuck's sake" tone of voice, says to talk to FRANK about drugs

3. The advert for some educational electronic toy that goes along the lines of "Tom is learning about numbers, while James is crashing cars into walls. Tom is discovering new worlds of verbs and learning, while James is running around smashing things up". Bear in mind that this is Tom's toy that's being advertised and is supposed to sound much more fun to children than James'.

As for Kerry Katona at Iceland, I like the way that she's put the Christmas turkey on the table at the same time as the savoury snacklets, value mince pies and the arctic roll, leaving no room for things like veg or table settings. Also I don't get the joke at the end but it seems to revolve around wellies.

Once more my non-tech self is confused. There is no such ad for brown sauce, I thought. Then remembered.
Mr. Monkey does not like the face framing thing. It freaks him out.
And speaking of freakouts, it is not big or clever to advertise Lucozade using zombies. They are just frightening, okay? And why the fuck would I want to buy something that may or may not turn me into a zombie?

Am I right in assuming they can't actually refuse to insure a driver based on their gender? Is this a case of making the product so 'horribly girlie' that us 'yorkie eating men' would never stoop to applying for the insurance?

secondly, the dixons advert, with the ladys in tight clothing, hmmm, i love dixons!!
cant believe there are places like this where u can bitch about ads

saw an advert on space tv whilst home over christmas (couldn't miss it, it was on every 15 minutes) where the bloke in a cheap suit in a white studio used the phrase 'zero no claims bonus' about 6 times in 15 seconds.

Bleugh and that breathe easy strips advert or whatever they are - "this is the exact size of your nasal passages when you have a cold - theyre not full of snot, its the veins in them exploding" or something like that. I feel physically sick especially when I'm eating tea in front of the telly. Sickening.

"If we'd told you back then that we offer the most complete and extensive financial services... you wouldn't have cared less."

Now, people saying "I could care less" instead of "couldn't" is way, way up there on my English pet peeves as it is. Now Madison Avenue is introducing a new and even LESS logical variant, apparently just to make my life harder. What in the FUCK does "you wouldn't have cared less" mean? Seriously!

i heard it from the other room, andd when i came in it was too late

but, it did soujnd like it!

no.

Is that the same generation addressing Boomers that goes, "YOU were the generation that learned to forge relationships..."

HA! Does that include the divorcing and spouse-swapping during the ME decade?

stupid!

the worst of these made up names is that one in the cosmetics ads - Boswellox

2. "CONFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSED! Dot com." (if I saw this guy in the street, I'd be sorely tempted to go over boot him in the nads)

3. AOL advert (using the Holocaust to sell internet services - modern life IS rubbish isn't it?)

I guess they couldn't illustrate the ad with porn though.

"orwell was right..." is the bad thing about it

And what does "crumbelievable" mean, anyway? It's not really a pun. It doesn't really make sense as a slogan. I would pay $50 to be a fly on the wall during the creation and selling of this ad campaign.
