"... and this yoghurt is fat free"
"FAT FREE?!"

B*tch what the f*ck did you think you were eating? Did you steal the yoghurt and not look at the lid or something?

Managing to put exactly $20 of fuel in a car is a driver win?

I just can't wait to get excited about putting an exact amount of fuel in my car next time I fill up, better still I'll put a few cents extra in and not get charged for it, even thats hardly a driver win.

That new one with a load of mouths on the screen singing a Blondie song.
I think its for some singing show, bloody awful. :mad:

Yeah but you'll get a free pen if you don't die first.

Anything advertised as "fat free" is invariably full of sugar. I've even seen it on marshmallows...

Years ago Gift Grub parodied one of those life insurance ads. There was a great line in it "We'll even give you a gift of a carriage clock so you can watch those precious seconds tick by".

Anytime I see a life insurance ad now I think of that.

I half saw that with the sound down and assumed it was something to do with mens health, beating cancer or something like that. Then the 3 logo comes up, WTF was all that about? It's fecking broadband.

The ad for gabrielle chanel perfume. Kristen Stewart looks like she's high on drugs at the end of it. She has the most awfully boring face and eyes

i hate the axa red line ad. very annoying. Pair of fukcing hipsters cnuts. your one in her classy down northern accent calling him "moark". and himself looking dopey as ever with terriible fitting clothes. at a guess i bet your one is a secondary school teacher teching maths and science and mark the goon is working in tech or some pharma company, there prob after getting married in the last year

tylercheribini

I really dont understand what the brand is trying to convey with the other ad in that series where we see the female ogling/lusting over the male neighbour in his driveway, this all transpiring with her partner metres away. If the theory of advertising is to provoke an unconscious, emotional response from the viewer, then i associate axa with dishonesty in this instance.

It also follows the childish, ineffectual male / mature, clued in female trope that's increasingly common in ads these days.

I don't know if I despise it, its kind of funny but the Dominos advert "food for squads" it just seems like they are ripping the p1ss out of their customers making them look like dorks?

But if you don't know people in relationships like that you obviously don't go out much.

Yes I do and I do get out sufficiently thank you. My point is that it's become a sort of PC trope in advertising in recent years and it's way overused. You won't see ads featuring couples where the woman is clueless about simple tasks and it's up to the man to sort it out. These kind of couples exist too.

Well said, this kind of lazy advertising pisses me off, never done the other way around as there would be sexist uproar etc..

The AIG ad with the blind woman who did 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days.

Great achievement and fair play to her.

But the ad, with the f**king ‘uplifting’ music just grates at me for some reason!!

Sounds like a fecking X factor sob (my dog just died) story with a happy ending..

the purple tin

some silly ad with a mother and daughter singing that old song Mr Sandman send me a dream. The lyrics are changed to send me scones and high tea or somesuch. What irks me royal about it is the way the little girl's singing part is horribly off key. Like nails on a blackboard!

optogirl

can you imagine the amount of these sickly ads are on the way for the festive season

1. emotionally manipulative images of children, wide-eyed and loving their parents
2. some etherial voice singing a well known nursery-rhyme/love song in a dragged out tortured manner
3. a bland tagline such as 'being family' or 'do celebration' or some such nonsense

Giz a break

Giz your money, more like

I think the evil laugh of the man in the other Address Pal ad is getting every bit as irritating as the little girl screaming 'oh yeah' continously.
And the girl shrieking then....jeeez

Have ye seen the toothpaste ad on ITV where your one with the goofy smile meets a sap with massive headphones and an even bigger goofy smile..... Really really drives me nuts.


I like the new Audi ad though.
