internetjef Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Recently ive noticed a load of adverts are taking well known tunes as their music, but changing one note somewhere in the song I presume this is to dodge having to pay any legitimate fee to the writer of the song, but for some reason it makes me bizarrely angry Either pay for the song, or don't use it! I cant even give you an example now of the top of my head, but keep your eye out for it and see if you know what i mean. strange rant over ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cos of that, but cos of Sharon Osbournes botox afflicted face at the end that doesn't move when she is talking. I have to avert my eyes as it freaks me out cos it looks so weird. I believe that was recently voted the worst advert, yet the most successful for the Money Supermarket company purely for that fact. It got people taking so the negative was actually a positive. Odd world is advertising, like those Meerkats, hugely successful but what exactly is the product? Meerkat toys some people believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InCider Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Any adverts that include the participants in singing. Agreed. Especially the Vanarama one. The Herbal Essences ad where a disclaimer comes up asking you not to shampoo your eyes. Any of the Aviva ads with Paul Whitehouse. Put him out of his misery FFS.

'Orns Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Starter for 10: the new Nivea men advert with Lallana and co. CRINGE! Also when Joe Hart used to do those shampoo adverts. Christ they were horrendous. Skrtel in an advert for moisturiser. He's got a face like a pothole - can't work that one out I liked that one! The look on her face was so funny. Ha, me too - that was a classic Hofmeister, follow the bear was always a favourite when I was a kid. And Kia Ora - it's too orangey for crows, it's just for me and my dog. Brilliant The soon to be Mrs Woodsy is in marketing, I try and avoid them now as she has been known to dissect them and get into the nuts and bolts of what they are saying. Wow, bore off love!

RedRock Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Any advert that relates to PPI. I think the dumbasses who bought insurance when it wasn't needed should themselves be fined and spend their entire lifetime watching, listening to adverts and picking up phone calls from PPI companies due to the suffering they've inflicted on the rest of the population.

... Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Trailers for 'Ex on the beach'. It makes you think there is a totally moronic, pathetic, delusional sub-culture in the UK that anyone could watch such total and UTTER SHYTE. It cannot be true.

The Gasbuster Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 And every single one of the adverts have done their job on this thread alone. Marketing the company. Very true. However, if you are an uncompromising so and so (like me), then they may not achieve the result they are looking for. Take the insurance comparison websites for example; all of them currently have shit adverts. My take on it is that if you use them (reward them), they will strive to make an even shitter advert next time if they see it is reaping results. You only have to take into account that fat welsh opera singer, for example, for Go Compare. Therefore, I will use the website that has the current best least shit tv advert (currently the meerkats, I suppose), in the hope that others are doing the same. If the advertiser sees revenues falling, it won't take them time to work out why. Hope is they will address it and stop that particular advert. Can anybody honestly say that bloody "crazy frog" advert some years back had a positive effect upon the advertisers revenues ? ******* annoying, and on during every single advert break. It didn't last long, did it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
