Stupid adverts
That advert for Doctor Kawashima's Brain Training on TV at the minute.
Do people really believe that Nicole Kidman has nothing better to do than sit around her apartment tapping her fucking Nintendo DS in a desperate attempt to beat her last high-score on Dr Kawashima? I mean, come on people. Let's get real here.
And the Gillette Fusion razor advert. The demo of the new razor says something like "FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY" or something like that when it shows the Fusion Razor moving up and down the guys chin and radiating blue circles as it moves along. Is there anybody out there who really believes that the Gillette Fusion razor gives off miniature blue atomic fusion pulses as it zips along your chin, not just cutting off thoese pesky hairs but wiping them out completely with MINIATURE NUCLEAR OBLITERATION technology?
Come on people. Get a grip!

Also what really pisses me off is HD-DVD ads, they're worse than the DVD ones. HD-DVD is perfect there are no flaws, in fact the definition and sound is so real it's unrealistic. Once again when they were saying this about regular DVDs 10 years ago were they lying? apparently you couldn't get any better than a DVD it was perfect, now here we are with something that is beyond perfect. Bollocks it's just another excuse to sell a new format which may and I MEAN may only be marginally better than the one before it. Suck my balls is what I say, there was nothing wrong with regular DVDs, if it ain't broke don't fix it, fucking gluesniffers.
(And... breathe.)
BUT the worst ones are Phones 4 U with those very very weird adverts with characters who should be off Deliverance.
I mean theyre just not funny, i honestly will not buy a phone from Phones 4 U because i hate those adverts so much. I cant believe some idiots are getting paid a lot of money to make those adverts. Theyre just terrible
I have to admit that I actually like the Phones 4 U adverts. The over the top characters make me laugh. :)
Don't know what that says about my sense of humour...
EEK! Imagine if the razors end up running Windows :-o :mad: :mad:
One Blue Screen of Death and the razor will "close" down your jugguler. Permanently.
Dunno But I would like to sit around her apartment and tap that ass.
Of course not knowing what is being advertised is a bit of a failure, but the ape is excellent.
Become a famous rocker like Lenny Kravitz and your beany dream just might come true!
I have got a strange sense of humour but i just really really hate those adverts. Just dont laugh at them. Obviously theyre doing something different but those characters, probably because i find them a fraction disturbing ! As i said its like theyre inbreds from Deliverance or something, very strange
Squeal like a pig, at Phones 4 U boy!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Oh, and off the strict subject - isn't "Dave" (the new name for UK Gold 2) the worst name for a TV station ever? Although "UK Gold" isn't a particularly apt name either, as many of the programs it shows weren't made over here, and are far from being gold in quality.
Actually, "UK Gold" should be called "The Only Fools and Horses channel", as it seems to show OFaH twenty-five hours a day. Yes, it's a great program, but we ALL know every episode off by heart now.
indeed.
Happiness is a cigar called hamlet.
I hate tobacco, but I LOVED the adverts! :razz:
The one where Russ abbott put the record player with Des o' connor greatest hits into the water where he was fishing, and all the fish started jumping out of the water into his net. It was for Hamlet I think, although it may have been Castella cigars.
I saw an amusing Philishave advert once that started off as a pitch-perfect Gillette advert parody, proudly announcing their new 15-blade razor.
In my experience films in HD do look a lot better and sharper than DVDs on a 42" LCD. Whether the difference is worth paying ?200 for a player and replacing your existing DVD collection at ?20+ a pop is another matter though!
I remember that one! An increasingly rare sighting, that - the good advert...
I remember one advert being quite disturbing when I was a kid and that was a Kinder surprise advert. It had this horrible little eggy type man (I think it was meant to be Humpty Dumpty) with beady eyes sitting on a wall. All I really remember is "OOOO Kinder" and "Chocadooby!", "Doubley Chocadooby!".
One ad I did like isn't really that old really it was the peugeot or maybe Rover ad (could be neither), with Gene Kelly doing the robot to an electro version of Singing in the Rain. A lot of people I knew at the time thought it was sad but balls to em'.
EDIT: Just found the Kinder ad on youtube, it's actually described as disturbing!

Sorry no time to embed have to leave for work in about 3 mins
Yeah! Yeaaahhh! YEEEAAAHHHHHHH! I love them adverts
Wasn't that advert for the VW Golf? I really liked it.
Ahh I remember Russ Abbot's parodies of them. They were class.
And then there's Fly Fishing by J.R.Hartley.
and them old Rumbelows Adverts..... Don't pay any more Misess Moor!!!
Snowy!!!!
I can see the pub from 'ere!
The worst one is when that bloke phones up the loan company (Picture loans I think), when he gets off the phone he says to his wife. It's nice to have an adult conversation for once.!!
I hate those adverts where the Woman (wearing those suqare shaped glasses that shallow people wear to look sophistocated) confidently walks towards the screen from a side angle and says "Have you been hurt in an injury or fall".
Scottie_UK.
Dumb. What's dumber, is that the product is snake oil... Doesn't work. No way it can work, scientifically.
/can't remember how to do the youtube tag.

Quote a post which contains a link and it'll show you the markup:
Just seen an advert on on old VHS tape advertising AOL at "only" ?24.95 a month for 56k dial up, half the price of the BT equivalent apparently.
We're basically killing our prime-time schedules by filling it up with phone-votes deciding which celebrity and members of public are doing the least-crap at whatever they're attempting. I long for the return of shows full of acts starring people who have mastered their art rather than watching a bunch of amateurs who are just appearing for the sake of getting some face-time on TV.
That's what I liked about TV in Italy... Well, that and the boobies.
