Worst TV adverts of the moment

Addition to the hassled husband genre: the guy who sees his wife has switched to a healthier Cheerio breakfast and asks if she's trying to lose weight. You look like a nice lady, wife, but seriously, it's an innocent and supportive question and you protest too much.

The weird thing about that commercial is they used it years ago for a different variety of Cheerios and just superimposed the new box over the original. It looks terrible. I think they re-dubbed the voices too. Pretty cheap, General Mills.

always feel bad for that guy because the fridge is stocked solely with his fat wife's yogurt. never realized there was a sequel.

worst at the moment is the palm one with the translucent albino chick talking about how she can't handle the thought of reincarnation because she lives multiple lives now and boy howdy that is only maintainable because she has a palm pilot and is an alien/hippy.

omg yes, what is with that? is she supposed to seem "futuristic" or something?

I think they re-dubbed the voices too

Oh, I noticed this, too! It doesn't sound right.

Bostone Creme pie yogurt tastes so gross btw.

I don't know whether to talk about the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials here or on the "Best TV Adverts" thread.

For one thing, he looks like a homeless bum that some PA found and stuck in some nice clothes.

So long as I'm on the gender-roles beat here, there's this:

Can you believe there's a new commercial where a guy walks up to a random hotel employee, rips her shirt off, pins her arms above her head, applies some body spray to her abdomen, and then walks confidently off into the night?

Wait, no. That can't be right, can it? Who would run an ad like that? That would be horrifying, a commercial where some guy strips and restrains and dominates some poor chambermaid just to demonstrate his own power. That would be promoting sexual assault. I must be misremembering something.

Oh, right, I remember now: it's actually a confident, sophisticated woman who tears up a bellhop's shirt, covering his face and pinning his arms above his head, and then tests her deodorant on his abs, while he stands in passive awe at how bold and empowered she is.

I guess that's better.

WE HAVE NO R

It's on the radio, not telly, but the WE BUY ANY CAR, WE BUY ANY CAR, WE BUY ANY CAR, ANY ANY ANY ANY, WE BUY ANY CAR one.

Apparently it is a TV ad too:

I'm sorry.

this, especially the WONGA guy who has inspired some remix videos already

After watching the Envirophone ad too many times, I have realised you can make any advert better by inserting "...and it's good for the environment!" randomly in it.

"And always, it has to be Heinz" = GO FUCK YERSELVES. TV equivalent of saying "lock thread" or "end of".

Also reminds of Robert Lindsay being the smuggest smug cunt in the world on those Morrison's adverts a couple of months back, surprised I didn't lay into that shit at the time.

Really? Don't remember it.

"Power to the People" ?

I'm sure (and I'm sure you all know too) that they make crap ads on purpose, just so's standup comedians can use them in their routines and mention the product while doing so.

Child that wants to evacuate his bowels at McCartney's abode, for instance...

Lindsay ad was like "I just want fresh fish that costs tuppence and gets served to me by some dude in a Victorian fishmongers outfit tugging his fucking forelock" middle class entitlement horse cobblers

The ad is very similar to Hammond's "I just want meat", in that they're both pushing supermarket trolleys through the countryside.

I take it as read that Hammond's gonna reek of smug entitlement tho

ah right. Good old brane, filtering out the crap just for me..

It's the way Lindsay delivers "Is that too much to ask?" in the same voice as the Fast Show "...which was nice" character.

Worse thing about Hammond ad is his "look" - 40 something geezer still trying to look like he's 20

DUDE THAT'S MY WHOLE STEEZ

We call this "doing a Lovejoy"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/essex/content/images/2009/01/29/lovejoy_cast_470_470x352.jpg

Nah, Hammond's look is a million times worse

Mine too, xpost.

However, Lovejoy "looks like 20" in what way exactly?

Mark, you telling me you've got hair like Hammond - that's the worst part

trying to look like he's 20...

...not necessarily succeeding. At all.

hmm, I'll give you "30" but who looks twenty in that? Citation, or it's untrue...

Lovejoy is classic, Hammond dud

^ nice legs

Mark G posts "shame about the face" in 5...4...3...

"...shame about the bass... uh, pedals"

Not while "The Monks" are the band formed by US stationed army personnel that took raw protopunk formats to the Germans, and not two ex-Stawbs, I don't!

shame about the fascia...

'lovejoy was ace' is the new 40 trying to look 20 btw

We buy any car is the BEST advert of the moment you menkos.

the donk isn't big enough

the donk isn't big enough

I will concede, but like Touch'n'Fresh they had to make some smooth out some of the rough edges for the mainstream.

Would you believe I can't find the Touch'n'fresh jungle advert on youtube - anyone care to oblige?

No mention of 'money for gold' on this thread = fail.

Thank YOU! fyi vagina.

Not sure whats better - vox pop numpties or this one with hard-up US celebs:
