Adverts Good, Bad and Unfortunate

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

And so as the race is on for the Christmas #1 (Ad that is - who cares about the music charts)

We can all go awwww...at the JL Christmas ad - very nice it is too - lots of Watership Down in there - and a wee bit of Lily Allan. Can't be bad.

Well that's for me the good (I'm a soppy and sentimental old get when it comes down to it)

And the bad?

Choose any one from:

> GoCompare (even more annoying as they get self-aware and self-referencing);
> ComparetheMeerkat - Bleedin' Meerkats - hiberate them for good please;
> Wonga OAP puppets (vile - spit)

For me the #1 in this category are the ads for the undisputed leader (IMO) of all obnoxious and pernicious companies - W***a

And - sadly - the Unfortunate...

Sunday Times 10.11.13 (and no doubt other papers) full page ad...

Feeling the pressure. More fun in the Philippines.

Oh dear -as in golf - all is in the timing

I dont watch adverts.

I dont watch adverts.

Same here
And the ones I do see I always marvel at the lengths they go to in an effort to disuade me from using their product.

Works every time.

+1, however after all the JL hype I had to seek it out.........man what a waste of £7m probably one of the worst Christmas ads JL has done and overall it was a swing and a miss for me.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I don't beleive any of the advertising hype unless it gives me another 17 yards off the tee

Please...who is JL?

Ok just got it John Lewis.....here's me thinking I did not know who the latest hit pop star was.

JLS have split up Doon. sorry. it was a sad day indeed. Apparently Marvin is going to start a TV presenting career, so its all good.

Didn't his dad win it as well?

I like the betting add , where the player gets a late tackle while getting the after match interview. and the auto manager change over.

 

[bladeplayer]

Ive no idea mate .

 

[CMAC]

I do like the 'looks like a golf' advert..........quite clever...and witty

 

[Doon frae Troon]

His dad sang at the White House for three Presidents.
Logan also won a third time as a writer and will probably be representing Ireland in 2014.
Some record for an Aussie. [He was born in Australia]

The absolute worst adverts of all time are those bet victor ads with that monumental bell, Morris. I can't think of anything more annoying than those.

 

[Fish]

I love the Bear on the Muller advert, especially as he dances off sideways :rofl:

Hate BG with a vengeance and the money they spend on their adverts must be obscene, no wonder they charge so much for peoples gas and leccy, white collar thieves the lot of them :angry:

 

[rickg]

Any perfume ad?.....:angry:

 

[Baldy Bouncer]

Feminine Hygiene Ads are the very worst ever.....:sbox:
A woman should know what to put up and around her clunge without the need for advertising ffs.
And another thing....why use a blue liquid?
