Maybe the death threats, combined with the lack of immediate explosive success they might have expected from fronting a nationwide ad campaign, have made them decide they're happier just doing... well, whatever it was they were doing before.

My guess is that, shortly before landing the Nationwide gig, they were sucking off some advertising executives.

Nah, I think they're the family or friends from Oxbridge of some advertising arse who finds their hysterical sideways look at life a-may-zing.

What were those four women called?  Four women and a piano?

Shite.

Well they are worse than them.


Fambo Number Mive

Should we start a new thread as this one is nearly 101 pages?

DrGreggles

Yep. And it should be called 'CaBvert (AKA: 'Die Nationwide Bitches, DIE!'), just so it makes no sense in a couple of years time when the thread's still going.

mothman

But we'll be at war with Europe by then, because Brexit, and that means Germany. If the Tory thought police come looking for Brexit saboteurs and elements of creeping Remainism, they'll wonder why we're all posting in a thread called "The Nationwide Bitches, THE!" in German...

I just thought ''Nah, surely we have a new ad thread more or less every year, like Obvious Things...etc.,'' so I checked and I'm wrong, this ones been going since 2013! Lotto shit ads.

Nationwide: Fucking your mouth with our big veiny cock since 1846

I know it's all a bit of fun, but can we stop with the 'they must be doing oral favours' crap please? It's a bit shit.

Agree completely.

They're probably doing anal favours instead

mothman

I'm always interested in these generic anonymous cities you see in adverts. Like the one for the current Deliveroo advert. Where are these things filmed?

Flo and Joan can't be their real names, as if anyone's been given those names post-decimalisation.

That woman is back on TV singing "Ain't Nobody" again, just fuck the fuck off.

They aren't their real names. I've heen trying to work out why 'Flo and Joan' is better than their real names as a name for their act, if it's some kind of pun or reference, but I'm foxed. Maybe it's their Nan's names or something.

Bud Light's transparent attempt to turn 'dilly dilly' into a catchphrase can fuck right off.

Must be. That said a few years ago I did meet an Ingrid in their late 20's.

Apparently it's been a successful attempt in America. To an extent, anyway:

Any advert that uses CGI to animate a child's mouth into saying or singing lines can get fucked. Creepy as hell.

The actor driving that weird baby around must have a penchant for starring in naff ads. He was that annoying son in the Ben Miller / Ruth Jones Tesco ads.

mothman

I thought he was one of the Inbetweeners.

Oh remember that? Everyone thought he was meant to be simple at the time.

That advert was on the TV earlier and a friend said how he always smiled when he saw it.

I said that it was as creepy as shit, he stood his ground.

mothman

Isn't it about time this thread got closed? We've got two ad-related timelines running at once, it's more complicated than Westworld!

Sgt. Duckie

Agreed. It's becoming like Westworld meets Twin Peaks: the Return going on a date with the Back to the Future trilogy, and having a one night stand with all the Terminator films.

I don't know why I'm surprised but I always thought Mr Benn would be above hawking himself out to the grubby world of advertising.

He always carried himself off with such dignity, now look at him as another childhood memory is put in a food blender and vomited down the bog to sell (I think) an insurance comparison website.

To make matters worse it looks like it's been 'made' by someone who's only ever heard people talking about the show not actually seen it.

What the....?

I do like those Tupelo ads.  Sarah Beanie really can't act can she?

I find it's forced cuteness sickly rather that creepy. I keep wanting to see the car veer off the road and slam into a lamp post at 70 mph.

yesitsme

I see Audi have gone for a breathy voiced MAN to sing a slowed down version of a not very good song to advertise their latest model.

Where do they get their ideas from?
