Uncle Monty Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I'm a student so watch a lot of television and i have noticed being a lot of stupid ads on atm. Firstly there the stupid health adverts with cave men running around trying to explain that we're all much more unhealthy than when we were cave men, although they left out that the life expectancy was about 20. Then you have the REALLY patronizing weight watchers advert which parades a bunch of fatties around (perhaps at gun point) telling the camera that they've learned that "i dont have to have biscuits with my tea" or "i dont have to finish everyone's food" fuking duh!!! Just seen the Nell McAndrew ad which is trying to sell a yogurt that makes you shit better or something. She sounds like she has just come out of a coma, her voice barely reaching whisper level. She used to be fit (Lara Croft model i think) now she looks like a butch lesbian that sounds like Cilla Black on weed. There is a very strange very out of taste vagina cream advert, jesus i was watching the tv with my granny when this came, probably the most embarrassed i have been in a long time. What about that "pull your finger out" advert. It has been going for a while but sees to be on heavy rotation atm. I know it's trying to spread a good message but is patronizing enough for me to shout at the tv every time it comes on.
Phube Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 "Compare the meerkat" - by far the best at the mo'!
The People's Hero Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 All insurance adverts are appalling and make me more ashamed of this industry than I already am.
Tabou Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 "Compare the meerkat" - by far the best at the mo'! Absolutely Seconded.
The People's Hero Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Absolutely Seconded. How's the job going fella? Settled in to it enough to use FT I see!
Tabou Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 How's the job going fella?Settled in to it enough to use FT I see! Haha, Tabou is back on the scene , albeit, not as much as before. Job is going great guns. Payday friday, with my first batch of commission too. Happy days. What happened to that broker you know? I have just been offered an EVEN better deal on the car I want...and need to make sure the insurance won't kill me before I pay the deposit!

Zingari Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 i still like the drink drive one , with the barman doing all the voices
Fosse Boy Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I just usually change the channel when during advert breaks?
Fosse Boy Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 But you're right, Compare the Meerkat if I had to choose.
Zingari Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I usually just change the channel during the advert breaks to be honest. so you weren't being honest the first time you said it ?
Benji Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 What about the DG adverts? There is one for men one for women, I think the man gets caught with two watches on in security and the woman bracelets or something. It is the biggest waste of 2 minutes you'll ever have, it builds up to a fantastic ending and then bam, retarded ending!
morris1234 Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 i hate all advrts that think its clever to get real people telling their 'real' story, "i got 12 grand because i wasnt looking where i was going and walked into the road" all the car insurance ones aswell, " i saved 60 quid it was hardly worth it but **** it, do it anyway "

SystonFox Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 disagree , i love to see that fat tart who looks like matt lucas's ting tong , go sprawling all over the floor .what a clumsy cow peter kay uses this as an example in his gigs ; "she wouldnt have slipt if she looked where she was going, too busy munching on a pasty and even when she slipped she probably only damaged her back cos she was trying to save it, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo paaastyyyyyyyyyyyy"
AoWW Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I recently got more than my fair share of grief from a certain FTer who was unimpressed with me singing and dancing along to the Sheila's Wheels ad. <_<
Daggers Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I recently got more than my fair share of grief from a certain FTer who was unimpressed with me singing and dancing along to the Sheila's Wheels ad. <_< Justifiably so. Well done that certain FTer A more nauseating advert I am pushed to think of.
StanSP Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I hate all the insurance adverts. Especially confused.com where they had those cardboard cut outs of people in a bar...(you know what I'm on about). Adverts I do love though are the Honda adverts, and that robot.
Corky Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I recently got more than my fair share of grief from a certain FTer who was unimpressed with me singing and dancing along to the Sheila's Wheels ad. <_< Quite right too.
Daggers Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 If you were/are a TV/Film/Music celebrity who has earned millions over a long and successful career - get the **** off my TV trying to tell me what to buy. If you were/are a TV/Film/Music celebrity who has earned millions over a long and successful career and are now telling me that changing a name is important - go get anal herpes.
Guest Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 disagree , i love to see that fat tart who looks like matt lucas's ting tong , go sprawling all over the floor .what a clumsy cow The one with the stupid fringe? She should use the compo she got for being a fat, stupid cow, pottering about in stupid shoes on what is obviously going to be a slippy floor, and go and see a proper hairdresser instead of doing it herself. They might even put the lights on first.
