    ok while wathcing the tv i noticed a mistake in the new vodafone ad advertising the connect card.

    its the one with the two women , where the boss phone the employee about a spreadsheet and the other girl checks her email via her connect card, and phones her boss again to say there is no spreadsheet.

    if you look hard at the phone that the employee uses to call her boss back you will notice that it has no battery in it.

    you can clearly see the sim card and the sliver sticker with the serial number etc on it but no battery.

    i have too much time on my hands and yes i am a fan of movie mistakes website.

    Isn't there something wrong about the Guinness add a while back when they had the hurler going to take the penalty?
    The hurler was some english actor that was holding the hurl completely wrong. Something along that line, not to sure but will check it out.

    that guiness ad where they are on the titanic really bugs me, they talking about the best pints they've had....with sinatra (blue eyes) and with marilyn monroe. if they are on the titanic i.e. 1912 how they hell could that have had a pint with frank (born 1915) or marilyn (born 1926)???

    I know it's only an ad and it should'nt piss me off, i'm sure not that many people would even notice it, but people get paid lots of money to come up with these things, if your gonna do something do it right ffs....or give me your job :D

    I'll bet that fish riding the bicycle in the old advert really got on your goat:)

    Perhaps they're Guinness Voyagers!, people who use a pocket watch to travel back in time and have pints in cool places with dead people?

    Or there's the simpler explanation of the way people prattle on about stuff after a few pints of Arthur. See the end of Housesitter for the same kind of thing without the need for beer.

    You should not take it to serious because in another guiness ad they same characters are in the future having not aged a bit, so please take a chill pill...and count from 10.

    You've completely missed the point of that ad, they're asking each other what there best pint was, as already mentioned, one with Frank Sinantra and whoever. Then the punchline is that the best pint he's had is on the titanic where he buys a round for everyone and puts it on his tab knowing he won't have to pay for it. The ad is not actually set back in the time of the titanic, Sceptre has more or less hit the nail on the head.

    chillaxing pill - is that somethign you can buy at a club ;)

    has this gone slightly of topic.....

    my contribution is -
    Guinness add where guy swims to america - when he walks by the big sphere in Nass it's on the wrong side. If it were on the side it is on in the add he would be walking east - of course he could of swam around the world......(why not if you can swim the atlantic)

    What about the Carlsberg ads where they say it is probably the best beer in the world when it is most definitely one of the worst!!!

    Shaving ads always have guys shaving who never look like they need a shave :)

    I've one for ye all!

    You know the Coca-Cola ad where the black woman is coming out of a doorway singing and passing bottles of Coke to everyone in the street?...

    ... she's passing them out with the bottle-caps still on them. But the second guy she gives one to tries to take a drink out of it when he's a bit behind her.

    Everytime, i see this ad (which isn't much anymore) - i always notice it!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,230 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    you were watching the advert very closely if you noticed that!good stuff
