Originally posted by Various Artist View PostI don't watch much TV, and very little on commercial channels at all, but the one inescapable bit of alcohol advertising I run across is the ident (or whatever they're called) bits for Trivento that come before and after each ad break on Quest, when I'm watching something like Salvage Hunters. They're abstract enough that it took me aeons to work out what wares they were actually hawking – not least because the name is a lot like (the equally random-sounding) Trivago, the hotel-comparison thing. Apparently though it's "the UK's leading Argentinian wine brand".

McDonald's seem to have gone crazy for those 'heartwarming' family ads these past few years. The latest features a teenager who proudly drives his mom's old banger, despite incurring the ridicule of his friends. And then gives mom a McMuffin, or whatever.
Playing her Westlife CD (assuming that's who it is) rather kills the premise, however. For all kinds of reasons.
Originally posted by Hot Orange View PostI maintain that Cantona's look to camera 12 seconds in is the finest piece of acting ever. Yes, ever.Last edited by Jah Womble; 15-10-2020, 09:07.

The Cadbury's DarkMilk ads with Kim Wilde and Jason Donovan going "remember me from the 80s?".
No-one remembers Gambit from the 80s, which was basically the same thing as DarkMilk and completely tanked.

Indeed, here's a Gambit commercial that looks like a slightly acid-addled episode of Mr Benn.

Suffice to say that I don't think the advertising helped the product any.

Certainly didn't make it across the larger body of water.
Those really were done by Folon, they aren't just knockoffs

The British Legion have a truly horrendous poem in this year's Covid-tinged, union flag heavy, poppy appeal advert.
It rhymes "pride" with "died", and then "care" with "errs". Woeful, if I hadn't stopped wearing a poppy years ago I would have stopped this year.

Something charities never like to talk about is the degree to which they are in competition with each other. The veterans sector is quite thickly populated. Anything the British Legion does is as much about rebuffing the attempts of Help For Heroes and others to knock them off their perch as anything else.
