Cab Men II: Because fact into doubt won't go

[Pseudopath]

Didn't listen to the whole 11 minutes but it sounds like it, yeah. 'Car keys'. Ta.

Still can't remember which advert...

Budweiser, I reckon. Can't find it on YouTube, but there are a few Google results where people have asked about it: http://www.kgbanswers.co.uk/which-bandsinger-did-the-budweiser-advert-song-in-the-80s-early-90s-that-started-got-some-money-in-my-pocket/1905924

Good work

Yeah, I was thinking beer or cider.  Budwieser does ring the bell now.

Why the hell are there so many toothpaste and toothbrush adverts on at the moment? We watch quite different channels and programmes so it's not a demographic thing, but all of them have endless ads of young women (and it's always women) blarting on about healthy mouth healthy me and the importance of gums and wanting whiter teeth and electric toothbrushes versus non-electric and on and on it goes, worse than mobile ads a few years ago.

I've got an electric toothbrush.
Not sure why - I don't even have any electric teeth.

[mothman]

Probably getting people to brush their teeth more, in preparation for further post-Brexit austerity when they cease NHS dental treatment. It has to happen, I'm afraid - back in the idealised glorious 1950s they want to take us back to, nobody had teeth anyway.

[yesitsme]

If it's not toothbrush ads it's vacuum cleaner ads.

Bushing - hovering.  Nae wunner everyone has OCDs these days.

[Clownbaby]

I'm so sick of that advert with the woman talking about the difference between big and small. Ive seen it so many times and I still don't have a fucking clue what kind of point it's supposed to be making. She looks so pleased with herself as well

[yesitsme]

Nationwide are at it again I see.  Where do they find these cunts?

We decided the other day that she's a low level drug dealer. Sitting in a parked car in a field with the door open in her bomber jacket, talking in code, waiting for kids walking home from school. Next thing they know they'll be in some dingy flat being told they only have to ''stay if you want to stay'' yet the doors are locked.

I'm going to remember what you said and treat it as canon for when I next watch the advert

Yes! That supercilious half-smile on her face, daring you to go with her. I'm kind of tempted myself...

Trying to find out more about it (it's an early 80s Chevrolet Caprice) reveals that the production company behind it is called Rattling Stick, for which the people responsible need to be taken out and shot and their relatives are forced to watch.

Watching this compilation of Super Bowl ads, I was wondering... a) what did Super Bowl ads do in the days before big stars did commercials? And, b) what is it that makes so many of them quite so... naff?

Have to watch two Youtube ads to watch a youtube video of ads.

Yes the irony of this has struck me before. And you'd think they'd at least have the algorithm technology now to have the most recent ad for whatever products the ads in the video are for (if they still exist.)

[Clownbaby]

What is going on with the woman voicing the "all hail voxi" advert, I have to mute it when it comes on

[Soup]

Is this the place to put a vintage ad about  how sexy babies are?

"Because innocence is sexier than you think... for your baby, at Christmas."

Paedophilia was to the 70s what the Spice Girls were to the 90s.

I was listening to TalkSport2 the other day. I wouldn't normally, but I thought there might be some cricket.

Anyway, someone's re-recorded the song What's That Coming Over the Hill is it a Monster (Is it a Monster?)? by the group Automatic so the chorus goes "What's that coming over the hill - Van Monster (van Monster)", presumably in an effort to sell vans to people who want to buy vans.

Completely baffling.

It all started with 'Another One Drives A Duster'. Now the replacing-a-word-in-a-famous-song-with-the-name-of-a-car genie is well truly out of the lamp. If I knew the first thing about cars in 2018 I could probably reel off a dozen or so just in my lunch break.

The new Jacamo ads that book end the adverts on one of the satellite channels are particularly awful. 'Pretend-lad-mate-gentle-banter' seems to have been a trope for a few years now and it is absolutely soul-sapping.

"Alright mate coming down the footie?"

I will concede that some people sometimes called football 'footie'. But Kevin Bacon? Fuck off.

Lads lads lads! And everybody!

[Bogbrainedmurphy]

I actually quite liked that different version of Olive - You're Not Alone for a bit, until it came on every 10 minutes. Ta, Lloyds.

[Bogbrainedmurphy]

Lads lads lads! And everybody!

Horrendous.

I hate hate hate this advert with every atom of my mass. I've sworn off ever getting a Giff Gaff sim card. I would love to have been around in the meetings where they came up with this, and thought it was the best way to sell something.

A good friend of mine and former housemate is in the new series of Iceland ads. I hope I'm not starstruck next time I see him.

He'll have Goodfella's pizzas coming out of his ears and arsehole, the lucky bastard.

Channel 4 sponsorship bumpers.

Have hated the fucking glitzy monaco style spy thriller bollocks ones for ages

but

tonight my tolerance for the other ones suddenly out of nowhere snapped and so

tonight i was entertaining fantasies of getting every single one of those bizarre objects - pot plants, chainsaws, traffic lights, etc etc - that ludicrously and seamlessly dive into the sides of that stupid red car, and shoving every single one of them up the bottoms of the creatives who thought of them

'ABSORB THESE, YOU FUCKERS !!!'

Yes.

I've just realised it's actually the new Argos ads. No pizza for him :(
