the Trivento bumper adverts on Quest etc.
an example:

they are all this smug and cover things like parachuting, rugby scrums, bungee jumping, mountain climbing.

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

Anyway, John Lewis Waitrose Bohemian Rhapsody ad.
Once is OK, but you know you will see it 20 times at least.

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!

Biscuit company I think, or there used to be an old ad that used it. I also love that tune.

I understand why the David Brent song is in the Freeview advert but I'm equally sure Gervais is thinking it's because he wrote a brilliant song so... <Gervais face>

there's a few MYA adverts that exist - I only ever seem to catch them during the ad break in Countdown though. They're hilarious, I like to imagine a director trying to coax a horse to bounce harder to really convey the sense of augmentation

Hi British Gas, "we're with you" is almost, kind of, an actual real world colloquial phrase, but every time you try to shoehorn it into your ad copy it just sounds Martian, give it up you useless twats.

I mean1) Obviously there's the dumb veteran jingoistic part, but it's a fairly benign form and I'd excuse that alone2) But it's being used to sell phone service3) The commercial gives you the impression that it is going to have a narrative arc but then it doesn't4) I don't think most veterans would actually get all that excited just because someone did a thank-you-for-your-service over the loudspeaker5) They couldn't even be bothered to make it sound like the voice was actually coming over the loudspeaker!6) The connection between this ballgame and the product is completely unclear (other than the fact that there's a deal for veterans and the ballgame also thanks veterans)7) The vet's maudlin facial expression kills a small part of me each time I see it
