Scary Ads,....

FranknFurter · 30-05-2006 9:05pm #1

We get some pretty bizarre adverts here, this is true.
We have all those seatbelt stomach churners, the one with the woman directing traffic with heartburn who suddenly talks to a driver and turns into a female backing dancer for the video 'THRILLER', not to mention the recent poster campaign with the lung of a smoker.

But this, has to be the scariest, most bizzare image I have ever seen.

Ever seen that "horror" movie "IT"?

Whats the scariest ad you have come across of late?

scary isn't the word, what parent would let someone put their child through that crap ?

I'll always remember those IRA ads they used to show about 12 years ago. They tormented me, I still find it hard to listen to the song they used.

I'm starting to think that I dreamt this add because no one I've ever asked can remember it. I'm not sure what it was about but I think it was either for mince pies or the FA Cup. It went like this: It starts with a little cute looking baby calf standing in a field with its mother, the little baby calf is talking away asking all kinds of questions that you would expect a little kid to ask its mother, then it says something along the lines of "Mammy what will I be when I'm all grown up?". And then the screan cuts to a big fat bastard taking a massive bite out of a mince pie. It was just so unexpected it kinda stunned me a bit. Please tell me someone remembers this add because if I imagined it then I'm gonna start believing what that behavioural analyst from the PWO said about me.

Indeed, chilling stuff

That blasted ad with the Zombies dancing in a shopping centre to the song that starts off 'theres things i havent told you i go out late at night...'

thats as much as i can watch then i flick off. that makeup job they did on them was very good, freaky looking..

And to the OP, that baby ronald is really freaky looking, what parent would let their child get made up in that garb...

Anything with a shark in it freaks me out.

Some pubs have that poster on a coaster (what poetry!). I've a load of the coasters, they're great when guests come over for tea. Especially if you're in college with me because she looks like someone in my year.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 31-05-2006 12:15am

It's ****ign brilliant! And deffo photoshopped... Trust me, you can't paint someone that young (for practical reasons, if not legal). Clever idea, though.

Scary ads? Any drink driving ad shown here over the last year or three. Especially considering people STILL do it.

Our man in Havana · 31-05-2006 12:21am

The drink driving ad where the car comes flying into the kids garden. :eek: Worse one ever!

No, I think his offside statement was meant as a comic reaction to the previous post and inherently needed a laughter response to work.

John · 31-05-2006 1:24am

but did you really?

hairyfairy00 · 31-05-2006 2:12am

The one where there are some kids on a footpath and one of the group is taping them on his/her phone, they go to cross the road and a car hits one of them...... can't watch that one anymore it's way to realistic, i know thats the point of the ad but it freaks me out

Rumour has it that its real, and the parents said it was OK to broadcast it, so that it may get people to cop on.

That add for the yellow toe-nail treatment thingy. The germ walks up to a huge foot lifts the big-toe-nail with a kick and jumps in underneath

Don't think that's the case. It was shot entirely with a mobile phone though, which is a first. link

i've seen that picture before. i think it was in an e-mail attachment. something about a white thrash wedding. i'm sure some of you have seen it too, as pretty much everyone gets these e-mails at some stage.

xzanti · 31-05-2006 9:08am

I think this little fella is pretty scary

Oh God yes, that ad is worse than fingernails down a blackboards for me.
Another one I never liked is the Tango ad from years ago with the giant orange scottish thing without any legs. Too wierd for me.

bonkey · 31-05-2006 3:44pm

There's a chunk of ads over here at the moment for an anti-aids campaign.

The series is a set of Pictures, each of stuff like fencers, ice-hockey players, mo-bike riders....all doing their sport in the buff.

There's a tv ad for it as well.

Its pretty freaky stuff, at least the first time you see it.

The AIB Ryder Cup one with all the undead zombies brainwashed into watching golf and finding it interesting. ~shudder~

I know I was aware of that but someone still let their childs face be portrayed in that manner, bit weird i.m.o.

that one with the toenail fungus thing is definitely the most disgusting ad ever. I do have to wonder how anyone could not think there was somehting wrong with their toenails turning yellow though...

Black Swan · 01-06-2006 5:08am

Like scarey ad? I remember one they showed us in school years ago to try and keep us from smoking someday. I was little then, but I remember it to this day. There was this famous actor, Yule Brenner, who played in a lot of old films. Starred in a musical, The King and I. It was a no smoking ad done by him, just him on the screen looking at you. He said something to the effect that, "If you are watching me on this film, it means I am dead." :eek:

Scary Ads,....
