hey - thanks Stu, I can't do anything with it at work, but will look when I get home, nice one :tu:

Bandwagons? Do you think the osbournes thought "here, we should do a tsunami appeal advert, it'd do our image a lot of good!"?

Don't be soft, the ad agency picked someone with a high profile that the general public are fond of. Is there anyone you'd NOT accuse of bandwagon jumping?

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I meant the ad agency doing the advert dived onto the osbourne bandwagon....... not the other way about.

EDIT I would prefer someone that is not in the limelight ALL the time, someone like jimmy nail. People who are a bit famous but not too famous and in your face day in day out.....

The channel 4 one for the guy who is going to carve up the woman, pictures of inflating lungs etc. Not while I am eating dinner.

Are you talking about anatomy for beginners?

it is a good informative programme

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Yes it is, but i can plan not to be eating when I watch it. The advert is on frequently and not something I need to see
toooooooooooooo much information

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

WHAT are you talking about?!

Also the tile depot advert, talk about the enthusiasm!! :D :tu:

But the safestyle direct one for the best advert, i'm serious, always gives me a laugh :)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Jimmy Nail? A bit random, but ok :)

I misunderstood your original point, sorry about that. Still though, the agency wants someone prominent, someone current. The problem with celebrity is that it needs to be maintained. Jimmy nail would be viewed as being a has-been who's trying to revive his career off the back of a disaster. It's probably better that they chose someone who has nothing to gain from doing this.

My favourite, which appeals to my sense of humour the most, are the monster.co.uk ads..... don't listen to the voices......... they've been on a while now but they still make me LOL :shrug:

My worst is..... i don't even want to think about it...... is that fast food ad, some chicken burger thing i think, where the guy sings to the woman asking for a bite of her burger (ooer misses) and she opens her gigantic mouth and starts wailing a response....

I've usually switched off in horror by then so couldn't tell you what it was for....... that advert actually hurts :erm:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

The most irritating advert on telly at the moment has got to be the one for Gaviscon - the policewoman directing traffic has heartburn 'cos she skipped lunch (or whatever).

2 seconds after having some of the foul-tasting brew, she's up and dancing, along with everyone else. Now, two things:

1. Why, if she's feeling better, does everyone else have to dance as well - I bet they couldn't give a monkeys how she feels, and

2. Surely dancing isn't the best way to direct traffic - wouldn't that cause an accident?

AWFUL :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

At least they're not sodding wailing/singing as well as dancing :D ;)



Quick edit: On and i love the new Nike ad..... the female dancer having a sort of duel with the speakers :)

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Actually, the "Orange Wednesday" ads are cool.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

Thank you for seeing my point.... I did choose Jimmy for the randomness, so maybe someone like bob geldof who does a lot for africa, maybe he would be a better choice.........

I think the point is that your average numpty in the street who respects Ozzy (not that there's anything wrong with respecting ozzy - it's the numpty bit i'm getting at) will go and donate because of it. Those who respect Geldof will already be aware of his work, and generally won't need prompting to donate. The average channel 5 viewer/Heat reader needs the push. "Ozzy's pure mental man, he's the baws, if he says donate i'll donate" kinda thing.

Re: Best & Worst TV adverts ?
 

I get the effects of food poisoning when i see their ad and i haven't even had one of their silly burgers :D



Edit: typo thx to food poisoning effect ;)
