AA Advert

[Region3]

I love this advert, but just googled to try to find out how much of it was CGI, and all I could find was moan, moan, hate, moan.

I'm stunned. Yes, the CGI isn't brilliant, the dad is from the annoying Tesco adverts from a few years ago and no, a 6 year old girl isn't likely to know all the lyrics to Proud Mary, but who cares?

Every time I see it it makes me smile.

Am I alone?

At least it's one of the less offensive ones...
I quite like the Skeletor/Money supermarket one..a bit better than the prancing bums and builders anyway....

Seems a real trend to use old tracks on adverts at the moment.

It says at the end of the advert" that our mechanics get you going within 30 mins".

Thats rubbish, last time I called them out, Missis T left the courtesy light on in her car at Stanstead airport. We got back a week later and battery was flat. called AA and within 30 seconds he was driving round the corner. he got out and I said " **** me are you Clark Kent". he said " courtesy light left on". I said " soddin hell Supermans now a mind reader". He said it happens half a dozen times every night. he got me going with a jump start and a guy came running through the hedge and said " me battery's flat". me and Clark Kent just looked at one another and laughed.

good advert.

The advert makes me smile every time. I like the nice touch at the end with the AA man pumping the air and then feeling embarrassed.

Found it irritating. Sorry.

Triggers nostalgia and resonates better with target audiences. Expect to see a wave of hits from the naughties used in commercials soon.

He is so fortunate that there is a layby right next to him as soon as his red warning light comes on.

Good advert but I would not touch the AA with a very long barge pole.

I drove uninsured for 3 months because of an error in their banking computer system.

They were also responsible for writing off my MIL car.
On a dark winters night they told her it was safe to drive half a mile home following a red light warning.
The engine seized up.
Her garage had 'forgot' to put engine oil back in the engine after a service.
Lengthy decision as to responsibility between the AA and garage.

scary ad

My other half loves the ad, it does nothing for me.

When I first saw it I thought it was very cleverly done. After a few more viewings I started to find it mawkish and irritating - but that's just me.

What's not to like about it? Its light hearted... tbh, I'd forgotten what the ad was for though.
