The new Duffy/Diet Coke Ad is just AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. :mad:

I know! My top worst ad on TV at the moment.

Terrible song!

She cant sing!

When she "looks" at the camera I dont know whether to look at her nose or look away... one of her eyes is funny!

Giant arse on that bicycle!

Was he not a big bald muscley ****er with an earring before? I've seen this cleaning stuff called Don Limpio in Spain, which has the original (bald) mr muscle on it. Maybe he relocated?

Yes, I remembet the original Mr. Muscle. He did indeed have an earring and was bald. He was an amimated character that they used before they intorduced the weak, neardy Mr. Muscle. Think the ad was used in the late 80s/early 90s. They had a tune that went something like "Mr. Muscle cleans so clean you can really see yourself" or something like that!

Was that not "Mr Proper"?

The laser eye surgery ones drive me absolutely potty. "Well it's a week later and I needn't have been so worried" - that one...

I've always wondered.... Is that because you're half blind and in incredible pain for 6 days while recovering?

It was indeed, and I can't remember how the ad was in Spain, although I do seem to remember seeing it when I lived there.

I think it originally came from France though, where "Monsieur Propre" means "Mister Clean".

You are right! It was Mr. Proper not Mr. Muscle! Sorry about that!

Last time I saw that ad I think they edited that bit out. Thank god.

DarkJager · 24-03-2009 9:26pm

From the looks of the comments about that diet coke ad. I'm so glad I've avoided seeing it so far!

jor el · 25-03-2009 5:24pm

I've seen that Diet Coke Duffy ad, and I just have to wonder what in Satan's name were they thinking? I think 2fivers was on the money there. When the revolution comes, advertising execs will be the first against the wall, even before the bankers.

There was some ad I saw at the weekend, for coffee I think (Maxwell or Nescafe), anyway it was horribly dubbed (worse than Kinder) and involved a Gran and some young one talking about concerts and how the gran went naked in her day. Queue horrible fake laugh and them both falling over. It's drivel like this that puts radio ads in a good light.

That stupid ad with Amanda whatsherface about slimming pills really annoys me. They show a close up of her waist in a corset, but all that shows is that 5 burly men have tied her into it as tightly as possible.

Green Giant · 25-03-2009 8:23pm

I detest the Coors ad with those fools in the pub yabbering on about knowing when a bottle is ice cold (oh wow, a blue mountain symbol)

Also very tired of Daily Mirror ad with Mark Lawrenson's commentary on the papers playing football

The thing I dont get is she is strapped into that corset for the slimming ad, and then in the Sunday World ad she is magically a size 16 again. Cant stand her anyway, she's not attractive in any way shape or form.

Ads that are bugging me at the moment:

Meteor To-Go. Soo unoriginal, how are the words littleize and speedify funny?? Shame on the marketing group that produced this, lazy bastards.

Cow and Gate Baby ad. have to hit the mute on this to prevent the reflex reaction of my foot going through the screen.

ratmouse · 26-03-2009 6:45pm

Am absolutely hating that ad for some sort of lottery or lottery ticket where this millionaire, not-so-goodlooking, man is lying in a hospital bed with a load of nurses swarmed around him and fussing over him and thinking he's so cute just cos he's won a milion on the lottery. And one nurse says something like "Don't you just want to take hime home with you". It's so annoying and cringey!:mad:

AndyP · 26-03-2009 6:54pm

Any ads that involve the new thing for whispering do me nut in. Also ALL ads on Eurosport are atrocious, eg., the tagline for the Bulgaria ad, "Magic lives here", now what the **** is that meant to mean???

Ironic:cool:

That stupid ad with the kids talking about eating healthy and walking to the shops and whatever.

"You know, I think I'll leave the car at home tomorrow. Walk down to the shops"
"Think I'll join you"
"Bottom line, less crisps, more exercise....my body's a temple"

Suddenly the kid in the background slamms his shoes on the table
"I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!! My body's a temple too"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!

Kids + Stupid adverts = broken TV!!!!!

JIZZLORD · 01-04-2009 12:12am

advertising execs that use kids saying things in cutesy ways should be shot

that bloody cadburys ad with the kids eyebrows moving!!! cant stand it anymore. what the hell has that got to do with chocolate

JonathanAnon · 01-04-2009 12:40am

Fresh off the charts - That English wanker on the KFC ad. "When I was younger I wasnt interested in food. I was interested in EATING food."

Acting as if he is a fkn chef.

Absolutely nothing, Kieo: basically it's so you'll remember the ad and - Cadburys hope - the Cadburys brand.

His Englishness aside, that is another annoying KFC ad, at which that company excel. Again so you'll remember it and the brand.
