"Really never want to hear "Blue Monday" ever again either."
I thought this but then I realised that I only thought I didn't and that I do.
I like this cover of the Daniel Johnson song.

The Bank it Scotland once sent a collection letter to the psychiatric hospital I was in after a suicide attempt. I wasn’t worried about money, but it was a student account, and I stopped being a student, so they wanted me to pay my overdraft.

I imagine a job where your dialogue goes, "hey remember that are you gonna bang song from 10 years back that was playing in the SU when you got smashed and accidentally puked in Sarah's mouth as you tried to kiss her?""yeah?""we should probably pitch that as an ad cause bingo sounds a bit like bang doe.""yeah."and it doesn't seem that much worse than anything else.

The launch was accompanied by a high profile TV advertising campaign featuring the company founder, rock star Yuenyong Opakul, also known as Aed Carabao.[3] This campaign was investigated by the Office of the Consumer Protection Board for being too violent.[4] but went on to win a gold and a silver medal at Media & Marketing magazine's Asian Brand Marketing Effectiveness Awards in 2003.[5] A second ad, featuring clips of late actor Denholm Elliott, digitally altered so he was drinking Carabao from a trough, was less successful.

Those bank adverts that have mutated from using new animations of old cartoon characters (Flintstones, top cat etc) into splicing themselves into old films (Wizard of Oz, ghost busters) really do need to stop.
The over-50 life insurance ads have gone from having Michael Parkinson in them to having unknown people in them who talk about having seen the advert with Parkie in it. Which is a way of cutting costs, I guess. Like the Iggy Pop / puppet version of Iggy Pop thing that the insurance ads did.
― koogs, Wednesday, 5 September 2018 01:49 (five years ago) link
Yeah, but they had to pay Iggy as well as the puppet makers

I reckon voiceover prices are a lot cheaper than appearance prices. Puppet probably easier to schedule / wrangle too.
Philip Schofield seems to be on a reverse trajectory with his ads, getting more screen presence as time goes on.

it's not a bad ad (there's not a thread for ads that aren't bad) but there is one now that uses Fruity Flutes (Farmhouse Kitchen) by Reg Wale which is rather nice to hear once a day or so!
