There's a lovely animated one on with a cat striding about the place, looks great, appears to be some kind of green issue thing. Then it turns out it's for Sky.

It seems the lust for the Bradford and Bingley lady has reached even those cultured and hard-to-please gentlemen at Football365. It seems none of you lot stand much of a chance against their silver-tongued charms:

QuoteWho the hell is she? And where can I find pictures of her with her wabs out?
And is it wrong that i would love to recieve a blowjob from the pixie faced temptress whilst she was wearing the hat?

QuoteI want to bum her, in the face.

It's all about that bird wot's off the BT advert who plays the wife of Nick off that My Famerly.

Poor excuse for an image, but it's just so you know who I'm on about. I still managed to crack one off over it. NNNGGGH!

Shoulders?-Stomach!

She's lovely isn't she? I wish the advert itself wasn't so overbearingly excruciating, then I wouldn't have to vomit between strokes, etc...

The depiction of the "environment" in that is so cliched and over the top it looks extremely insincere to the point of parody. It's like an advert the Nuclear Power Plant in the Simpsons would produce. What is it supposed to achieve?

That is a great ad. Reminds me of Sonic The Hedgehog for some reason. If not that, definitely some trippy cartoon from my youth.

John Cooper Clarke advertising Sugar Puffs, anyone?

You don't see the Honey Monster anymore, which is a shame.

Nor the Bumblebee for Honey Nut Loops, who sounded identical to Coco the Monkey, who also had that brief absense a couple of months ago

buttgammon

At least we still have our Frosties man, our very own Neil.

"It's grrrreat!"

"They're grrrrreat!"

How the hell did John Cooper Clarke end up advertising Sugar Puffs?

I like the fact they just got him to play himself in the late 70's in 'Control'. "Ahhh, just get him to do it. He looks no different".

Quotei love her badly

Does that mean, he hates her or he'd be crap at sex with her or what?


I love how that thread has turned into an argument about that bum line;

QuoteI think you'll find I coined that phrase circa - 1993.

Me and the lads were all stood round playing pogs, and this fit lass walked past, so I said

"i'd love to bum her....... in the face"

Laughing Laughing Laughing

Good times, good times.

QuoteNah, it's my line. It was some years ago. Pretty lass goes past me and my mates. One of the lads goes "would you shag her up the arse" to which I said "no, but I'd bum her in the face". Blank looks all round were followed by everyone laughing but nobody being sure why.

This was one of my favourites from when I was in Oz - and it ties in with that Gwen Stefani ad...

That advert for Egg credit cards. It doesn't make any sense. They're talking about how there's a "clever/dumb" balance, ie each time something clever happens, something stupid happens elsewhere.

Well, their idea of something "clever" is apparently somebody applying for an Egg card. Yes, a credit card. That's clever. And then the stupid thing, well that's two foreign men (haha yes, foreigners, the thick cunts) fixing a car. One says something like "ok, try it now" and then the man in the car drives into him. I wouldn't say this was stupid, it's merely an unfortunate misunderstanding.

There's just too much to hate in that advert. The smug twat applying for a credit card, the slight racism, the inaccuracy of the concept, and the fact that it's all coming from debt-peddlers who should be lined up and shot.

Catalogue Trousers

Erm, that's not Egg cards. I forget which one it is for, but Egg's still using those anthropomorphic guinea pigs backed by some slightly monged but catchy music.

/pedant

idunnosomename

How is it racist? It's just "somewhere else in the world".

I think it might be mint. If so, their old ads where someone couldn't get the card because of it having a slightly unorthodox shape were much worse.

Watching The Naked Gun last night reminded me of this:

E4 has just come out with one of the most crass adverts I've ever seen.

Parodying QVC and its ilk, it basically says, "hey! You don't want to watch intelligent programming that makes you think! No! What you want is NO-BRAINERS!" And yes, that's the word that they use.

Okay, E4 is the teenage channel: but C4 is ultimately behind it, and it's yet another blow to their reputation, whatever may be left of it. Doubtless it's supposed to be ironic, but the contempt for its audience is nauseating.

Bit politically incorrect now, but I loved this as a kid:

Are they still having that bloke imitating the late Patrick Allen? I always thought that was in rather poor taste when he died and they just replaced him with a soundalike. Couldn't even be arsed changing the style of script or anything.

LeboviciAB84

Quote from: WikipediaHe provided the narration (the voice of Captain Star) for the 1988 children's series TUGS. Like all of the voice actors in the series, Allen unfortunately remained uncredited for his work. However, due to his narration work elsewhere, his voice was easily identified.

Michael Alexander St John, shurely?

Huzzie

Tell you what advert I really think they have made a big fucking mistake with....

The Toyota adverts for the Aygo car. Have you all seen them? Well, the reason I think they fucked up is that, people generally take their attention away from the screen when the adverts come on, so advertisers need to try and drag their attention back in again, if not, the viewer is just getting the odd word or sound that might stick in their mind, whilst staring blankly at the screen paying little attention to what is going on until an attractive woman/man appears. The advertisers understand this well and they hire genius' (genii) to add certain words/sentences/phrases or images that will affect the viewer in positive ways and bond the product consciously or subconsciously. OK, you all know how adverts work and I am just blabbering on now.

Toyota though, knowing how this works, say their phrase at the end of the advert and it is the only piece of the whole 45 seconds that will grab your attention, just for the way it's said and the completel change of pace and volume to the rest of the advert.

"Aygo by Toyota" they say. I know that now but after many views I still thought they were saying
"I don't like Toyota".

Just listen to it yourself and let me know what you think.

Everytime I have seen that advert, I have come away with the standout phrase of "I DON'T LIKE TOYOTA".

I'm drunk and putting this really stupidly but, please have a listen.

boxofslice

Is it me or does Beyonce have a touch of the Jonathan Ross when it comes to singing the word 'friend' at the end of this advert?

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQPgclj4qpI[/youtube]

Pip Torrens is still making me laugh in the First Direct adverts with his delivery of the final line "No. No, I don't."

Shoulders?-Stomach!

A new Nivea moisturiser advert has the shittest 'survey' proving its quality I've ever seen on a TV advert

63% of 26 people said it showed a clearly improved effect.

63%...?!! After all 26 probably got it for free too?

Detective John Kimble

Clearasil adverts.  You'd think that they'd have enough money to at least try and make their adverts look as though they weren't dubbed. 

And of course, they had the advert a few years ago where someone was going nuts over a spot because she was in a play or something, used the Clearasil, got rid of the spot...and then when it came to the play, she put a big mask on anyway so the spot didn't even matter in the first place. 

And it's probably been said before, but those Philadelphia adverts just give me the shivers.   

The Duck Man

I may be sucking the corporate cock here, but I don't really care and it says adverts "good or bad". So, here are some adverts I like:

The Smirnoff vodka one in which the sea is purified on all the trash to become sparkling clean.

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/v/udMe7CZI2eo&rel=1[/youtube]

Those Guinness adverts that were played during every ad break during the RWC. I can't seem to see the slightly better black team scoring one.

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/v/D6fIvc6zgOk&rel=1[/youtube]

There was also a Magners rugby one that was played in a similar fashion, can't find that either but it was pretty good. Wasn't particularly keen on the ITV sponsors' ads - Peugeot's four nations in a car and EDF's "Where do they get their energy". Couldn't decide whether I liked the acrobats with painted faces intercut with footage in the intros - the concept was horrible but in the end I think I quite liked it.

Smirnoff ad featuring The Pixies 'Tame':

Frank Black later justified it with "Well, it was a lot of money and I like vodka". I just love that guy!

Catalogue Trousers

Grrrrrr. That bloody new Blu-Ray Disc advert. Wolves, racing cars and rampaging riot police mish-mashed together with stupid wavy blue lines all over 'em. Pointless, meaningless, self-satisfied crap.
