So I just seen an advert for a Motorhead album, which was very strange cos who does tv adverts for albums in 2021? and the voice guy sounded like Tommy Vance, and I'm like I'm sure Tommy Vance is dead, so I Googled Tommy Vance and yes Tommy Vance has been dead for several years, so somebody has made a TV advert for a Motorhead album and got somebody to do a Tommy Vance impersonation on the voice-over, also now I know Tommy Vance's birth name and it is very funny

I've just noticed that the terrible, sexist, creepily cgi-looking advert for Aunt Bessie's roast potatoes has a "based on a true story" caption at the beginning, lol ffs it's just some voice over lad saying he liked his nan's Sunday dinner

Yeah, the radio station he joined had pre-recorded idents for the real Tommy Vance who dropped out,so that was the condition of employment for.. him.

belatedly noticed that they've changed up the scenario in the ad for direct prescriptions with the hen picked/useless husband and disapproving wife couple. this time he's mixed up her prescription with that of a mates wife after going for a quick pint on his way from collecting it, the useless fucker. last time he made a mistake whilst distracted by an article about collectable toy tin soldiers or some such idiocy. kinda love him tbh.

Guess this tread is mostly UK centric, I expected this revive to be about those horrific VW commercials with all the people singing that dumb song about what they are doing that makes me want to claw my ears off.

new verisure alarms advert! this time the women talk whilst the men stand around gormless.

Don't think so. The Verisure tradition of only two people being allowed (paid?) to talk in an advert continues.

That Xmas one with "because nothing's stopping us" always struck me as pretty irresponsible but I'm kind of surprised they haven't pulled it yet.

there's a new verisure advert, but it has no qualities worth mentioning.
but watching Big Match Revisited, 80s football, there are pitch side adverts for manhole covers, tyres and tapes (cassettes i guess). and Dickie Dirt's "for PM and Sunday" whatever that means. no car adverts, no airline adverts, nothing that i saw on Everton / Hull City before that.
― koogs, Saturday, 8 January 2022 20:56 (two years ago) link
Is this the new Verisure advert where the non-speaking partners (the wives, in this case) are barely seen, I think you see the top of their heads? I think Verisure are slowly moving towards something like Beckett's "Not I", where the screen is taken up by a giant close-up of a mouth endlessly blabbering to itself about household alarm systems.

the second match has Townsend Thoresen adverts (car ferries) and, yes, airline adverts, if British Caledonian Airways counts. also motor oil, tv hire, Stanley tools, Hoover, and a local car radio place by the looks

If Internet ads count that Audible one about going on a trip to Westeros and visiting the moon drives me up the wall. I resent how well produced it is and I resent the implicit "you can't go anywhere because of the rona, why not stay home and give Bezos some more cash".
