    I've just seen a traumatic advert

    "Can I have some cawwot juice?" FUCK OFF!
    Annoying child's father seems to be working up a bit of a boner when he clocks Jennifer, then his wife appears and he loses the horn.
    Like that's not weird enough, this is an airline ad, not one for Durex lube, Jennifer claims it's a pity their journey doesn't last longer because that's exactly what you're thinking halfway through a long-haul flight.

      Stella Artois, "Be Legacy"
      At the risk of sounding like a post-watershed Ed Reardon, what the fucking fuck is that supposed to mean? I don't know why it annoys me so much but it does. But that's not the end of it. I just did a Google search to see how long it's been around and found this abomination from their PR division from when the campaign was launched:

      'Be Legacy’ launch marked with new advertising campaign that heroes prominent figures from the history of Stella Artois

      'heroes'??? As a fucking verb??? These people are evil, no two ways about it. They're part of the continuum that gives us Trump.

        Starts off with some moody panning of said appliance with some quotes suggesting we're looking at the future arrived early, then segues into faceless loner dog owner adding arsebiscuits and buttonholes to his shopping list, cueing a playlist, and having the requests repeated verbatim by Alexa. Alexa sounds like she might be Stephen Hawking's sister.

        A mate of mine bought one about a month ago, banged on about it for a week, and hasn't mentioned it since. 'Alexa, gather dust'.
        I'm reminded more of a female 'Hal', personally.

        I simply cannot see either the need for, or the appeal of, these things.

          HULU - Come TV with us.

          TV is not a verb, one simply cannot 'Transvestite".

            John Cleese must be short of money again.

            I can't think why else he'd being doing adverts for a small Swedish hotel

              Pure pornography.

              And they obviously learned after the dive, what everyone who has ever gone swimming knows...

                Ads that urge viewers to 'discover the story' behind them. Look, you're flogging a product. I don't want to know the 'story'. If I want or need something, I'll just go and get it without some advertising arse plonking it in the context of a 'story' to make the shit they're selling look meaningful.

                Cuh.

                  Or cheaping out on the media purchasing by running a 15-second teaser spot that ends with "See what happened next at www...". Yeah, that's just what I'm going to do. Maybe if it looked like a mini soap opera like that coffee commercial back in the '80s, but not for Kraft peanut butter or whatever.

                    Isn't he paying a small collection of ex-wives or something? I get the small hotel / Fawlty connection, but that really sucked.

                        Just seen an advert for clothes company Pretty Little Thing. It appears nobody thought that having women wearing short dresses while hanging around on darkened streets might look a bit prostitutey.

                          I don't get the current ebay advert. Do these people (assuming father and son given that they look alike) live together? If to why does one have a broken blind, and why do they have breakfast apart? Do they live in separate apartments? But that doesn't make any sense given the final shot shows a house corridor rather than a communal one.

                          And what language was it dubbed from?

                            Helen Mirren shilling for Uber dressed up as an anti drink-driving ad.

                            Fucking despicable.

                              Ah.
                              I thought it was for Budweiser. Maybe it's a double-dunter, if not there's some well-cheeky product placement going on there.
                              She can fack aff either way

                              Anyway, expecting some absolutely blindingly hackneyed perfume ads to be on heavy rotation right up to the last minute. I can't decide whether those models whose eyes are so far apart they're in different postcodes are beautiful or badly deformed.

                                I know what you mean there Calvert: that kind of extreme beauty skirts pretty close to 'freakish', around the back of the loop as it were.
                                Your comment reminds me of a newspaper magazine article or something, about supermodels, I read a year or two back. It described almost bumping into one or more of the breed in a corridor, and seeing her/them in the flesh made the author realise that up close they're "so beautiful they're actually ugly", or words to that effect.

                                  The TK Maxx one with a bunch of people performing an acappella rendition of Misirlou.

                                  There's something slightly off about it that I can't explain, which makes it deeply unsettling.

                                      I'm not very good at downloading stuff from YouTube but if you Google "rsa crashed lives -for ciaran " you'll see a traumatic ad of a different kind

                                          It's not an easy thing to watch but if it gets the message home it'll be worth it, kudos to everyone who took part, it certainly makes the helen mirren one look pathetic in comparison

                                              The New Year means adverts for part works, inviting you to spend the next couple of years exchanging hundreds of pounds for a slowly accumulating collection of bits which, when put together, make some sort of model.

                                              One of this year's offerings is a model of the DeLorean from Back To The Future. For the advert they have managed to get a voiceover artist who sounds almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Christopher Lloyd.

                                                I think Oleg is far too young to be having a romantic liaison with that Frozen chick.

                                                The end of the advert shows them naked in bed. My lodger disagrees with me about this, he thinks it's just cute meerkats having a sleepover.

                                                  Oleg first appeared in December 2013. As meerkats are sexually mature at 2 years the fact that he is only now having "romantic liaisons" suggests he is a bit of late developer.
