Worst TV adverts of the moment

> "So you've got tickets to the football finals"

is close.

And yes, when your mates find out you've swapped them for a telly, they're not gonna be impressed at your suave sophistication, they're gonna give you a shoeing

I can't remember the product but a similarly naff football-themed one recently went something like this:

Jeremy: No, I'm the biggest footer fan.
Tarquin: No, I am. I buy a new replica kit every week.
Jeremy: That's nothing I've been watching Teh Soccer Finals since 2002!
Tarquin: Well, I've got Michael Owen in that cupboard over there.
Michael Owen: He's right.

Probably has to do with licensing...to use the phrase "World Cup" in your add would mean you'd have to be associated with FIFA somehow, or would have to follow their guidelines, etc. FIFA would consider it cheaping their sponsorship if other companies could namecheck the World Cup. Same with the Superbowl...it's always called the "Big Game" or "Sunday's game".

It's the only excitement he's had to look forward to this summer. I never want to see an advert with a footballer in it ever again - esp. not if they have to talk/act.

thank you. i doff my cap, as always.

the real question is whether he'll have to get on the tube with it.

hi dere dead inside

Does he get as far as the fresh veg, then collapse holding his leg and crawl into the potatoes till the physio turns up?

He appears in the advert even tho he hasn't collected a curry all year. Then he passes an Argentinian customer and falls over.

The REAL worst thing is that I still have to buy them because the own brand ones are even WORSE! Urgh!!

Is anyone ever actually "bloated"? We were discussing this in the park the other day. Doesn't it just mean "full"? Really? Or over-sensitivity to fat at emotional times of the month?

... whereas I think your advertising campaign is shit thing

and still, those AA adverts. 1.) I think it would be pretty creepy to be stranded in the middle of nowhere while an army of flourscent-jacketed mechanics descend upon me and 2.) How inept are they if it takes that many to actually fix the damn car?

There's one horrific ad where a cat is walking around a bath-tub with an irritating Yorkshire bumpkin voiceover blaring stuff like "Oscar lahks to play around me bath! And ya just gotta laugh, when he sniffs round that plug'ole!". Ugh.

And also "It's better to get Curanail than be a Criminail!". Words fail me.

the anti-smoking ads they run here in NY with the tracheotomy guy.

Oh yeah and ‘you think you look the business, she thinks you look like a cocksucker. REACT.’ Fuck off.

OH GOD. We have one like that down here. It is a woman with--I guess it is a tracheotomy, it is really just a plug for the hole in her neck--and she talks about smoking and then TAKES OUT THE PLUG and talks through her scary neck hole and I have to change the channel every time it comes on because it freaks me out so much. :ccc I WILL NEVER SMOKE AGAIN.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... *looks round*... uhhhhhhhhhhh ... exsqueeze me?

also, obviously: 'the toast you never butter, the thread you never pwn...'

"being students i bet you're not used to doing two things at once are you"

also the sales person advises that dual core can help them 'upload' music and 'download' email faster (at the same time) - i thought this would be more based on how quick their internet connection was?
