The new ad for Batchelors spaghetti hoops where the kids discuss the difference.

Too many hours sitting in front of American cartoons and no elocution lessons.

Not even remotely cute which I think is the angle they were looking for..

That fckuing twit on the AIG ad ....”yee haw and yippee” cos he got a tenner off the cost of his insurance. FFS ! It’s a total head wreck! Who does that ?? Nobody laughs at those kind of stupid ads. (It’s like the O Meara camping ad when another trembling idiot can’t find the poles )

It’s such a tired overdone style of ad , on the go for about 15 years , there have been so many others like this, it’s done to death , not funny .
Someone in that marketing company needs to retire !

The only thing to be said in favour of the O'Meara Camping ad is that they clearly get the brand name out there and like it or hate it you won't wonder what the ad was for + there's no daft music!

Siiiirrr!! You did not invent the sleeping bag! :eek:

Does Vincent Wall do that ad?

The patronising ads for the awfully named Home Instead Senior Care and Wiltshire Farm Foods.

Jimmy from Wiltshire Farms is delivering more than food to the randy ould wans.

That AIG ad is very similar to an equally annoying ad from 2 years ago where some untalented voice actor is a whoppin' and a hollerin' because his business had secured some sort of advantage over his competitors in the foreign export market. Cannot remember the product being advertised nor do I care.

There was also an identical one about being free from a mobile phone contract I think.

But even all of that nonsense is better than Oro se do bheatha bhaile being synth mudered and then claimed to be the reimagining of a classic.

I get the shoddy and paper thin premise of the ad, but if you want to say you've improved your car model, don't use a comparison in which the new version is in every single possible way worse than the original.

Funny enough, yesterday there was one of the Wiltshire Farms brochures left at home with other junk mail. Could put faces to Jimmy and Mary

Chances are the ad voiceovers may not be the same people as the "models" on the brochures.

Heard an ad on Radio One to do with managing your business during Covid. "Game-changer" was mentioned...

Oh I know, just for the laughs.
The things that keep one entertained now :pac:

ShagNastii · 22-10-2020 01:35PM

It’s has been mentioned before and it has cropped up again with the bachelors ad.

Kids and more so kids with really broad American accents make me want to punch the radio.

I know advertisers are shooting fish in a barrel aiming at people with kids but some of the ads that stem from this are painful and really cringe.

*sleek power woman that more than likely stays late in the office missing dinner talks into phone* “Mmmmmmoooommmm! No screens at the table!!!”.

Dickie10 · 22-10-2020 10:12PM

It's even infected podcast ads now. Just fuck off Skoda, you just re-badge last-gen Volkswagens.

My academic background is in linguistics - where we're all supposed to embrace language variety and how it evolves - but I can relate to these feelings.
