Hooray! Another adverts thread (good or bad)

[wherearethespoons]

I don't think it was The Queens Nose. I would have remembered her.

[Mr Colossal]

Her name is Sophia Di Martino apparently, and she's not been in much bar an episode or two of casualty. And everyone's been an extra in casualty.   There's not much about, but about 3 pages into the search results I stumbled upon what seems to be a page3-esque gallery of pics on this car site:

But it seems Bradford and Bingley have sent the boys round, as hers are the only ones that appear to have been taken down...


There is something Audrey Tautouish and French about her.

I saw that badly-written Saab advert during the Stirling Prize ceremony, and it got me a-thinkin' about the use of design in adverts. Usually, design objects (whether furniture, typefaces or buildings) are accepted to be public-domain, and are discreetly used accordingly. F'rinstance, a Peugeot advert might take place in an Amyas Connell house furnished with Le Corbusier recliners, to hint at 1920s Modernism. No-one pays conscious attention to the design content of the advert, which is why YouTube is full of people asking, "What's the music in this advert?", rather than "Who designed that teapot?".

By foregrounding the design elements, the Saab campaign blurs the distinction between something conspicuous which requires royalties, and something incidental which lies in the public domain. There are lingering shots of a Normann Copenhagen light fitting and an Eero Aarnio chair – can we assume the respective designers were asked for their permission, and that they'll receive royalties? If so, isn't this a tricky precedent?

Luckily, Saab will never have to worry about their car designs being taken in vain: thanks to a queasy double-standard, cars, when in adverts for anything other than themselves, tend to be painstakingly disfigured. (Take, for example, the fibreglass Fiestas and ersatz 240s lifted into the air by helium balloons in the current Mondeo campaign.) Why else would so many car commercials feature cheesily-deserted highways and empty mountain passes?


Also, there was an advert which replaced the words of Cole Porter's Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love) with, "Jenny from Abergavenny does it, after nipping out to B&Q". There should definitely be a law against that.

According to some fella on the site (I emailed him about it - sad, yeah, whatever), she took the page down. Bugger.

I remember this advert from back when I was too young to recognise Neil Innes in it:

Only found out it was him last week. Is that Michael Palin as the train driver?

The new adverts for the rebranded 'Ask' are downright frightening - especially the one with the dogs head on top of the human. It's a combination of several things - the way they are silent, they way they have been made to look as though they are on old videotape and, most disturbingly of all, the way they remind me of the weird Max Headroom Pirate TV broadcast from the 80's. Maybe the last one is just me, but there is the whiff of the sinister about them.

[alan nagsworth]

Speaking of frightening...



I thought the TV ad with that fox strolling about like it was nothing were scary enough, but this...

Could be a contender for Viz's 'Up The Arse' Corner.

[Orias]

Has anyone seen that Dixons/Currys advert set in a futuristic, celestial-like warehouse with men in suits walking around boxes and screens that fly about in mid air?

It claims that this woman is a sales director or something.  I've been to the Dixons head office.  It doesn't look like that...

[Glebe]

Is that Michael Palin as the train driver?

Haha, no, but that is Lenny Henry's voice, right?

I wouldn't like those fox's hands near my neck. But look at those flesh clackers!

[Blue Jam]

Yes, it is indeed Lenny Henry's voice.

Those are impressive b00bies alright. Not sure if it reminds me of the Max Headroom clip but I thought I'd add the link anyway- great stuff and it freaks me the fuck out.

[Glebe]

Fukc me, that's creepy!! Wasn't there a similar thing posted in another thread a short while ago?

[Pseudopath]

I wouldn't like those fox's hands near my neck. But look at those flesh clackers!

Yeah, but it's Jordan, so they don't count.

[non capisco]

Fukc me, that's creepy!! Wasn't there a similar thing posted in another thread a short while ago?

Yeah, it's in the 'Disturbing Moments In..Anything' thread. I remember that turning up as a story on John Craven's Newsround and me and my mates being completely fascinated by it, just the idea that TV can 'go wrong' in such a way.

[Huzzie]

I don't know what the advert is for, because I can never focus. But I really fancy this woman from some advert or other - she's wearing a green top and a bowler hat (that's what sort of clinches it). Anyone know what the hell I am talking about?

Is she at a Trainstation at one point and later sat on some stairs in a house, or something?

That girl is beautiful!

I have decided I will marry her. I am sat outside her house now (leaching her wifi obviously). I will soon tell her who I am and show her the church I have chosen.

[Huzzie]

For people of a certain age: I reckon she may be the star of The Queen's Nose that ran on CBBC in the late nineties.

She was certainly in something CBBC-related.

Bollocks! Harmoney? (or was it Melody?).

Nah, Can't see that. That kid was very pale and ginger, wasn't she?

[Pseudopath]

That girl is beautiful!

Hmm...she looks somewhat less ethereally-gorgeous without the dark hair, green jacket and bowler hat:

(Removed by request)

and even dodgier here:

(Removed by request)

Ah well...I can always console myself with this:



and you can watch the video here

Damn...it's turned into another wank thread.

[Huzzie]

Photo's won't do it. She is obviously extrememly pretty but it was the expressions more than anything I think. Her smile and especially her eyes.

You can't wank over her! Would you have your cock out, constantly tugging it whilst walking around Florence? Stood in front of David?

Well, I hope not anyway.

EDIT: That advert, thouigh it starts the same, is different to the one I saw. It ends with her sat on some stairs in a house, pulling the cutest expression.

God, I sound like a right dick! I was just today telling someone how I am perfectly happy to be celebate right now and I don't really have any libido anyway. Tsch!

[Pseudopath]

Would you have your cock out, constantly tugging it whilst walking around Florence?

Hmm. She's not half bad.

Stood in front of David?

Pseudopath shudders in revulsion (before cleaning himself up).

[Huzzie]

Hahaha!!:-)

[rudi]

That's the brand new one, and, yes, mm.

[alan nagsworth]

It's alright, he's just giving her a pearl necklace.

[phantom_power]

There is something Audrey Tautouish and French about her.

those adverts go for the amelie vibe but she just comes across as retarded

[Godzilla Bankrolls]

Hmm. She's not half bad.

She actually had a wanking habit she was quite ashamed of, bless her.

[Mr Colossal]

heh, I said that based on the 'ethereal' pictures i saw like this:




I didn't see the advert until afterwards, and she does look like one of those smug 'mumsy' women who always seems to be gurning under the strain of her catarrh...   The face she pulls when she's on the swing reminds me of Rik Mayall!

[Catalogue Trousers]

The FoxBingo woman is Jordan? Blimey! When I saw that shot, my immediate thought was "bloody Hell, Linsey Dawn Mackenzie's really come down in the World."

[Pseudopath]

What? Worse than looking really, really bored in her own hardcore porn videos (I'm referring to Linsey Dawn, although I suppose that could equally apply to Jordan).

In answer to your question, yes - according to the FoxyBingo web site, it is Katie Andrex-Price.

[Huzzie]

The face she pulls when she's on the swing reminds me of Rik Mayall!

Hahaha! I know exactly what you mean (unless you mean the cute smile she pulls at the end, if so, you're insane!) but God, i wish you had never shared this!

[Glebe]

It's Tank Girl!!

[ccbaxter]

Okay, okay, own up - who asked for the Admiral parrot ads to return?
Oh, and those ear-splitting elephant sirens?

Whoever you are, I am going to kill you.

[Gulftastic]

I just seen the RSPCA ad done by Simon Cowell.

Does anyone know where I can get one of those dogs that are also ashtrays? They sound really useful.
