Dilly dilly, if that was my favourite beer I would cease drinking it on the grounds of that advert

Was just about to post that, but thought I'd check back a bit. Absolutely horrific.

I always think about the ideas that didn't make it if shite like that gets into an advert.

Horrific.

On a similar accents related grievance, there’s loads of radio ads of late with grating Manc accents. They’ve obviously decided that’s a good ‘everyman ‘ kind of accent but just puts me off whatever product they’re trying to sell!

That Cockney one on the McNasty's adverts gets right on my tits. He also does Screwfix and some other adverts.

The Nationwide one with that 70-odd year old woman recalling the time when she was 10 and her gran went into a shop but turned the carrier bag inside out first because she didn't want the shopkeepers to think she was disloyal.

Fuck right off!

They didn't have branded carrier bags in the 1950's, you big fat phoney.

I see they've stopped using Flo and Jo, or whatever their names are.

Wonder who direct-line had to pay for the rights to use the character? QT, Miramax (Disney) or Keitel himself?

Genuinely interested.

Is the name Winston Wolfe actually used in the Ads?

Its horrible seeing characters from class movies being sold out for a few quid which makes me think Tarantino had no say in it.

rowan_d · « **Reply #540 on:** March 30, 2018, 07:59:02 am »

On the radio version of the advert he genuinely starts it with 'Hey I'm Winston Wolfe' which just hammers home the utter desperation of Keitel's participation, as it makes it so obvious that nobody would know what was going on without frontloading the character's name

Remember the old ones as well where the concept was that you were supposed to sympathise with a landlord not getting their rent on time, as opposed to the poor bastards who have presumably hit a financial rough patch and face being evicted.

In Compton you join a gang or find another way. What other fucking way? Riding a horse with no shirt on and drinking Guinness. How the fuck does that prick feed the horse?

Did I save the horse or did the horse save me? Wow that's profound.... I'd send the two of em to the glue factory

Yet another car advert using a monotonous, droning woman covering a classic song in ultra slow time with a single piano key as accompaniment. Its Audi (Again) and Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac

Where do they get these fucking cover artists from?

Just get your hands in your pockets and pay Christine McVie to use the original if you must.

It is on the kids channels too. Luckily my two are 7 and 9 so ignore the ad, but its a bit much for the time its on.

The other one is that mattress ad with the blue robot arses bouncing on the bed with that porno voice "because you do more in bed than sleep". Fuck off.
