[TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

More specifically this advert. Theres few adverts which make me cringe and reach to the remote to change the channel.

It got me thinking (yes a rarity) on why companies make shit and annoying adverts. I then realised why! My theory is they make annoying adverts to fire up discussion much like what this thread will do and so when I go to the supermarket I will have frosties in my mind and will hopefully put the shitness of the advert at the back of my head and by them. The fact its so shit is a good enough reason for me to take note.

Maybe these companies are smarter than we give them!

Cheesy adverts are pretty detestable yeah, but life's too short to start getting annoyed about the invasion of shitty american culture.

That said the current burger king marketing, with its oh-so inclusive language and 'golden age' styling, is utterly disgusting. After having to swallow the burger king price and quality I shouldn't have to tolerate some fag telling me I can define myself by the way I order junk food.

That Becks Advert > all.
I want the music.

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

American advertisements haven't been that shit for about 20 years now.

They're more like this now.

Carlsberg make the best adverts in the world.

The best pub team in the world

This Aussie advert's a close runner though

My housemates work for an advertising company.
They did the Cillit Bang advert.

Cillit Bang didn't give them a decent advertising budget.

We've all seen the results.

His name isn't really Barry Scott is it ?

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

I never asked :(

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

It's affectionately knwon as CLIT BANG in our house.

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

Two words "Scott Scott..."

There is not a smiley on the enitre internet that could display my rage.

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

i thought that was meant to be intentionally and cleverely shit :(

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

Yes: :down:

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

I think that's what the advertising company decided they were going to do when they realised they couldn't do anything even slightly good.

Oh and this is amusing: http://www.luckykazoo.com/media/2005...ang-remix.html (thanks to cherry_death on PB)

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

Agreed, although this is better achieved by ignoring the whole sorry mess.

i could have ejaculated a better 'serious' commerical whilst watching midget porn :(

the lucky bastards are probably filthy filthy rich now right?

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

no - they're aged 26 and 31 and still renting in a house with me.
I'm sure a lot of people in the company are though.

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

I've always assumed the Cillit Bang adverts were ironic and clever... although I suppose that doesn't mean they aren't shit.

On the other hand, everyone knows about them :)

The BT adverts that bring complicated family politics into a phone advert are especially crap

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

And horribly unrealistic

Where are the slammed doors and the shouts of 'You can't tell me what to do, your not my dad' ?

Re: [TV] Gosh this annoys me
 

they are all abolished when you get your phone-line and broadband with bt.

Didn't you watch the advert?

So there should have been fights over whose turn it was to download teh pr0n or something.
