u seen that advert?

[Karam_Gruul]

the one that goes on about "do you like it when people use big in your face logo's" etc..... then at the end it just says, neither do we, and ends :| what the fuck is it advertising? the pillocks forgot to say

 

[Jeeves]

I've seen it, I didn't get it either. oO

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Only seen it once, and wasn't paying attention.
But why were on the subject of stupid adverts, The BMW 1 Series adverts.
What has a German car, a horde of kids on pink tricycle's and a pack of blue tortoise got in common? Appart from the 2 silly adverts, nothing I can see.

 

[Archeon]

Yeah, I saw it inbetween the Xfactor (don't say it! I was only watching it for the Chicken-guy!...) - I think there's a company called Demin, atleast thats what I heard. Very confusing stuff...

 

[mts]

karam banned again? :-O

 

[Frealaf]

The fact that you are discussing it means they have done their job. As soon as you find out, you wont forget it!

 

[Dillinja]

The new Honda one is strange. Very strange indeed.

 

[punchy]

Honda make great cars. REALLY great cars.

 

[yaruar]

nothing can be as strange/good as the 3 advert with the jellyfish and the japanese cowbows.

it's genius!

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Hmmm, maybe were asking the wrong question here, maybe it should be:
"Do these adverts inspire you to buy these products/services?"

3 phones gay, japanies cowboys and there discotecque jellyfish.
BMW's arthouse nonsence with blue turtles and bright pink children.
Honda's experiment with acid and flying desil engines.
The advert that makes no sence whatsoever.
AOL's blaitent lies.
BT's acrobatic wizardry and flying haddock.
Any perfume advert.

- Would you buy there products with advets like these?

 

[Dillinja]

They always manage to get my attention, but once a find out what they are advertising I am always disappointed. So, in answer to your question, no.

x factor is mint. Gotta be the funniest programme on telly. I cant believe some of the people that audition actually think they can sing. Shame the auditions are over now, wont be as funny from here on in.

"You hate something, you change something,
Hate something
Change something,
Make something betterrrrrr"

*Wanders of into the sunset*

 

[k9awya]

the advert is about french connection changing their name

 

[Dillinja]

Are they changing it because it looks like FUCK?

 

[Tom]

I love the BMW adverts. They're very refreshing.

Of course the Audi ad from the mid-90's (the places you go, the people you meet, not my type mate know what i mean?) still owns everything.

 

[Hawkwind]

Are they changing it because it looks like FUCK?

Thats the only reason people purchased their stuff. My personal fav was the 'Bend it like FCUK' T shirt with the St George cross in the background for the European Championships.

 

[Serbitar]

best one was 'fcuk censorship' tbh

 

[Morchaoron]

hmmm karam gone again? Oo

I've seen "FCUK ME" ones before. They're good because you know that whoever is wearing them must either be a prostitute or a chav. Or both.

 

[Binky the Bomb]

The only FCUK stuff i've seen people wear are the t-shirts and the underwear, mostly because it's on display. Have also seen a cap once, although it was that badly damaged and manky, you could barely tell.

Don't those two things go hand in hand anyway?

 

[Ezteq]

most adverts are shite and make me want to strangle the marketing berks who think they are cool however.... the ad that got me dribbling was the budwiezer one where the camera slowly panned up a tall frosty bottle and the dew slid down it omg beer....must have beer!!
but that was just about the only ad ive seen that made me want the product, the 3 ad with jellyfish is a pile of jizz imo

Chav woman, prostitute... difference?

 

[Aoln]

Chav woman, prostitute... difference?

... you have to pay a prostitute?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Chav woman, prostitute... difference?

Am i the only one who thinks this chav thing is nearing a touch of rasicm....i mean come on....just cause they were born into a, albeit, changable community type, doesn't mean that they can be called anything and everything.

 

[Binky the Bomb]

apology

Back to the adverts.

Speaking of marketing, i think it was Bill Hicks who said "If you work in marketing, kill yourself you spawn of satan. There is nothing meaningful or worthwhile in what you do, kill yourself, seriously. No joke."

Seeing the standard of advets recently, i can only too clearly see what he meant. Kenco Coffee adverts as an example. It's crap coffee sold realy expensivelly, and it wouldn't distract me from whatever i was doing like gaming, writing, and activities involving the opposite sex.

About the only sensible adverts are the Virgin megastore adverts at present. And before you go "Ah but there's..." no there aint, it's all artsie-fartsie bloody trendy surealist bollocks. All i want from adverts are "Here's the product, here's what it does, and here's the RRP." with possobly a joke in there. Not "oh no, i'm out of ice, lets drive 1000 miles to the frozen north to get some."

Edit: Man, I must be bored, thinking about this WAY too seriously.

They make it their business to be hated by anyone who is not a fellow chav. Therefore it is only our duty to hate them and try to wipe them off of the face of the Earth. They are a disease. A disease which is spreading at an incredible rate across the UK. It may already be too late to stop it.

Kill anyone wearing a burberry cap. Join the cause today.

x factor is mint. Gotta be the funniest programme on telly. I cant believe some of the people that audition actually think they can sing. Shame the auditions are over now, wont be as funny from here on in.

Your thinking along the same lines as me, i've never watched a Pop Idol clone any further than the auditions - I was talking to a mate about it and we came to the conclusion that its funny watching peoples dream's get shattered because its nice to see that we arn't the only people who are struggling for dreams which would under normal circumstances be unobtainable.

...that and you'll get people like the Chicken Guy


As for adverts, I hardly pay attention to them anymore. I either zone out, or go get somthing to drink - though Tbh I hardly watch TV anymore, its always more of the same. Yet another MTV 'lets see what this bling celebrities home look like' - yet another ITV 'Drama' - Comedy is alright, everyone needs a good laugh (i've been watching Dr. Martin, thats some funny shit ) - Talkshows which are always about the same thing (You bullied me, now i'm fit - my daughter is pregnant - I had an affair)

Bottem line, TV sucks and finding a good show is like sifting for gold in your crapper.
