I know I'm old now but I don't think I know what Wowcher and Shpock are for.

pam's poems are good not bad, the poetry ads = vice versa
shpock it is worse than wowchers

wowchers = getting stuff shpock it = selling it again

bcz i (correctly) watch a fvckton of marple and midsomer, i see a lot of ads for (i) the alleviation of various conditions, (ii) stairlifts, (iii) cruises
some of them are american ads overdubbed but in all of them the acting is weirdly wooden and terrible
― mark s, Friday, 9 March 2018 16:05 (six years ago) link
Ditto life assurance and funeral cover ads.

At least the words to the schpock advert aren't still "schpock schpock schpock schpock-schpock-schpock".

i'd like to thank the Quorn Marketing Board for reading this thread and dubbing out Alan Davies's voice from your advert. the advert and the product are still shit, but i appreciate the gesture.

am i dense for not understanding the 'posh dip' ad? I think I reflexively shut down and stop listening but Mr kinder asked me how it made sense and I didn't know.
― kinder, Sunday, 25 March 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
I assume "posh dip" is a nod at healthy eating, in a bourgeois style, so the point is let them eat let ketchup because the moral purity of Quorn will cover you. But that's the annoyingness of the advert
― bad left terf nut (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 25 March 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
that's what i thought! but had remembered it as 'healthy dip' when I tried to explain it, not 'posh', which would make sense. But I watched it again (I deserve everything I get) and saw it said posh and posh =/= healthy so I was baffled once again.I'm reading this to Mr k right now and he's just shaking his head muttering 'it's so, so, shit'. Sorry, Quorn Marketing Board.

speaking of posh, i meant to post this aldi ad when it was inescapable a couple of months ago - feels like there's a dissertation's worth of class signifiers in here

Katherine, I was going to direct you to the US thread here because I had no idea what you're talking about but apparently it's a film so we'll probably get it here eventually

bg the latest aldi add with the baroque caricature of smug posh woman in the lift is another level

huh, hadn't seen the lift one before but just looked it up on youtube
forget a dissertation, there's probably a whole book to be written on aldi using class consciousness in ads to bolster their bottom line

The single-shot film is beautiful in its simplicity. A young woman stood in front of a parked car in a nondescript setting delivers a thought-provoking monologue exploring the advantages of ‘small’ and challenging the conventional idea that ‘big’ is always better. The camera slowly zooms towards the simply-dressed protagonist as Siouxsie & The Banshees’ 1978 classic ‘Hong Kong Garden’ gradually becomes more audible.
been compulsively reading ad industry sites the last few weeks, they really are a whole higher level

Not sure if you can see this as my friend filmed it off the TV but this Farm Foods ad with Hasselhoff holding court at the dinner table with a bunch of 20-something Geordies is something else. I keep watching it hoping to glean some sort of sense and well...
