i dunno.... haven't been paying attention, but will watch out for it. I guess it's not 'A first class ticket to Nottingham, please'

But, whilst thinking about Tunes and Lockets, I thought of another advert I hate and that would put me of buying their product.....

Anyone else hate the Vauxhall advert where those kids are talking like adults.... 'Morning, George', 'We had 7 in here last week', 'There's always one!'

There's something really annoying about those kids that makes me cringe each time I watch it. Kids in adverts must be cute in some way, and these two fall wide of the mark.

...although I love the advert where it's the other way round, and the adults are fighting over the sweeties and just being downright childish

that's my sense of humour all over

Anyone any idea what the other kid's name is? It's been driving me mad trying to remember. A posting here, or an e-mail would be most appreciated. Thanks.

More Ads

Advertssssss....you wanna Bad Advertsssssssssss

I`ll give you BAD adverts!!

1. "Your the Boss" - Burger King
I`m the Boss am I?.....so if i go into my local BK and ask to see the rota, or demand a pay cut or fire one of the spotty teenage vagrants who work there they will let me will they? will they? i doubt it....Why? because I`m not really the boss after all...its just a crap marketing ploy.....*****

2. HP Sauce - Britains Official Sauce
Yeah right - official sauce my arse. Its only official if you a chav/thicko/working class moron who drives a van, likes footie, the sun newspaper and some mild racism. Talk about straddling the most obvious stereotypes and advertising the sort of people who make me embarrased to be English. Binge drinking tarts, ****ed up cropped haircut idiots at weddings who say 'leave it mate' and then have a ruck and ignorant van drivers...is that REALLY the best examples of Englishness they can find? Lazy *****.

3. I`m lovin it - McDonalds
I`m not loving it....**** adverts trying to promote a utopian paradise where everyones day revolves around a Maccie D's - women 'do' lunch there, kids get a helathy breakfast their...its COOL to 'hang' at McDonalds etc etc. The grim reality is a fast food chain populated by chavs, single parents and hoodlums. And god forbid - Your taking your life into your hands if you go in on a Saturday Night. Just try watching the film 'supersize me'.

I hate em all

Whoa .... too much caffeine ???

Stuart · 17-02-2005, 17:37

campino, calm down. I like all three of the products you mention (although I do find the ads irritating, but I am certainly none of the things you describe..

Anyway, back to the ads. Does anyone remember that Fiat one from the early 80s with the robots assembling the car in time to a classical tune (the Blue Danube IIRC)? That was rather good.

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Your right - too much caffined properly. I agree though - i LIKE the products..its just the presumption of the advertising people that im stupid enough to fall for such arrant nonsense and the sheer laziness of their ideas (HP especially - why not use more positive examples if you MUST use stereotypes. Anyway, its arrogant of them to presume they are Britains official sauce - they never heard of Daddies or Heinz?)

I`ll take some valium in the meantime

Peace
out

Thanks. Still looks rather cool, even if I do think the car itself is ugly..
