The Official Bad Ads and Cr*p Commercials Thread!

Charlie Wells:
"The advert where the kid buys a car (real one) for a £1 deposit. I've no idea exactly which company the advert is for but I'm sure you've all seen it."

It's for Kia cars. I like the music on that ad.

Barney Boo:
"For so many showings of that, I had somehow convinced myself that was an advert for Woolies (I have no idea why). Only after about 10 times did I click it was for a car..."

The ad looks like it was shot in a Big W - the price tag on the shelf is in the same style as the ones in Woolworths/Big W stores.

Sorry dvdboy, what I meant was you're not the only one who mishears "typewriters".

So I gathered, and it's "dvboy".

"Hello. I'm Raymond Baxter. Now if you remember me presenting Tomorrow's World, then you're obviously very old and are going to die very soon. So, why not take advantage of the Moonlight Insurance Plan? There's no medical, no salesman will travel over 300 miles from our London offices just to call on you, and this attractive porcelain giraffe could be yours, just for requesting details."

AARRGGH! Not genuine but might as well be!

I see Esure have capitalised on the "calm down dear - it's a commercial. Hello mum!" thing by launching http://www.calmdowndear.com/ which features comments such as:

"Who is Michael Winner?! "
Fabulous web site but Michael Winner is an idiot! "
Your adverts with Michael Winner are the worst "
Please remove Michael Winner from your TV ads "
The Michael Winner advertisements are terrible"

Still at least I made this on their site:

Altogether now, sing!

"Lin-da, not nee-ded in this ad-vert!"

Snip, snip!

I can't stand that new one for HSA, its worse than that bloody rabbit....

WHY ARE YOU WAITING? WHY ARE YOU WAITING? (Constantly)

And I think yes they're right, why should I wait to switch the channel.

A new worthy addition to this thread:

"I LOVE HORSES! They're my friends!"

Really? No offence to horse lovers or animal lovers, but if you believe your best friend is a horse, you need to get out more.

The first time I saw that ad, I was literally wetting myself with laughter, the complete cheseyness of the song.

Though I would feel sorry for anyone who works in WHSmith, for having to stock and sell all these awful magazines.

If I was the producer of Father Ted, I'd be suing them for copyright over the 'My Lovely Horse' song and video!

Another terrible ad I saw the other day was the new Coke ad. It features lots of young, slim, attractive people with white teeth, and claims to be 'The Real World of Coca-Cola'. Surely the real world of Coca-Cola involves spotty, overweight people with rotten teeth?

Someone I know has been singing that all day...

You?
(I'm sorry, I couldn't resist it)
