      The Channel Archive has an advert that isn't for Benest's of Millbrook and Fineprice?

        Erm...



        I am by no means a prude but I was surprised to see that aired at four in the afternoon.

          They stop short of ‘c*ck’, however.

            Can someone prise the pearls from Toby Gymshorts clenched fist and help him up from the floor?

            Comment


              Gave me quite the attack of the vapours, I can tell you.

                It’s the boiler I’ve just had fitted.

                  I swear they've made half of those up.

                    I'm conflicted by the latest Barclays ads - they've given Prodigy's Out of Space the standard modern advert treatment (BOO!), but top and tail the ad with the guy listening to the original Chase the Devil (YAY!)

                      I think it was discussed at the time but one of the tabloids (probably that one) last year had a front page referencing Dick Emery's catchphrase "Ooh You Are Awful", which seemed archaic but they obviously thought enough people would get it.
                      Every April people still make "London Snickers" jokes despite it being 30 years now since Marathon bars were renamed.

                        Does anyone have a clue what that Lynx 25 years ad is about.

                        Comment


                          It's celebrating 25 years since Lynx Africa (the staple Lynx fragrance) was first released.

                            That means it's a decade older than about 90% of its users.

                              I'm not starting a 'I've Just Seen A Traumatic Promoted Tweet' so it can go here instead.

                                I see that cunt Farage is clogging up my YouTube feed doing something in the ads. I don't know what because I mash that "Skip Ad" button harder than the Hulk delivering the smack down to Loki as soon as possible.

                                Quite why my viewing algorithm has decided I want to see his vile features, I cannot fathom.

                                  Don't know about anywhere else, but there's been dancing on the streets around these parts...

                                    Gala, Betfred, Sun: "bingo" is not a sodding verb.

                                      I've just seen an advertisement on telly for Kentucky Fried Chicken that appears to be based on a racist joke that I first heard about 35 years ago. Que?

                                        KFC's entire marketing department has been on some pretty strong shit for years now.

                                          While watching Afghanistan v Zimbabwe in the cricket, towards the end of play one advert between overs kept cropping up with distressingly increasing frequency, for Mini Cheddars.

                                          It shows a cartoon small town, evidently some kind of dystopia, in which a human-sized anthropomorphic wheel of cheese is seen snacking on Mini Cheddars but then has to flee for its life since, as the diabolical soundtrack song inexplicably in the style of early-'90s-rap tells us, there's some kind of dire cheese shortage and so the townsfolk are chasing our protagonist with nets and stuff. He/she/it will then presumably be caught, torn to pieces and processed into more Mini Cheddars. And all of which surreal terror doesn't even touch on the horrifying implications of the cannibalism going on at the start, since presumably its own cheesy brethren went into making the Cheddars it's eating. Ye gods.

                                            Jesus. (Or ‘Cheesus’.) Fairly glad I haven’t seen that.

                                            I’m growing a trifle weary of hearing about that new mom’s sore nipples, however.

                                              There's an advert running on daytime TV for Parsleybox , a ready to eat meal delivery company. In it an elderly lady is preparing her Parsleybox meals for a date. Thing is, her prospective partner looks like old Biff Tannen from Back to the Future 2. I'm surprised he isn't hitting her on the head with his cane, and calling her Butthead!

                                                Did I just see a Walkers' advert without Gary Lineker in it?

                                                  Vinny Jones (how's the Hollywood career going Vinny?) interrupts filming of an aftershave advert where they seem to be shooting close up footage (and a later shot involving a horse) at the same time as the woman is doing the voiceover. Because that's how adverts are made, isn't it?

                                                    We had two Philip Schofield pitches in one break on London Live just now, the car selling website and something I hadn't seen before for a gin subscription service. Both make big assumptions about how engaged viewers are with his onscreen persona.
