Not a TV ad but a radio ad and I've not 'just' heard it. In fact it was some years ago but I was reminded of it today.
Driving through Colorado with Mrs.House Cat an ad came on the radio for a newly refurbished emergency room at a hospital. The ad finished with, to paraphrase, "next time you or a loved one has a medical emergency consider Mercy Hospital" or whatever it was.
Consider this:-
"Honey, I'm having a heart attack!"
"Lets try that new emergency room at Mercy."
"I'm having a heart attack! Call someone! Call 9!!!"
"That ER sounds really neat."
"I might be dying!"
"You're no fun."
We were laughing so hard we had to stop the car.

Come on, people, it's not difficult (as Stephen Fry once said on QI, IIRC).

That EE advert with David Mitchell and Kevin Bacon driving through a safari park and instead of being grateful for a day out and enjoying the animals, the 3 kids in the back do nothing but moan that they have no data on their mobiles. Given Bacon's annoying EE "career", the fact that Mitchell should know better than to be in such an appaling ad, and the brats in the back, they should be driven to the lion enclosure and the doors opened, instead of, ha ha ha, the monkeys nicking bits off of the car.

Originally posted by tracteurgarçon View PostThe thing that confuses me about this ad is that David Mitchell has never been associated with kids, either in real life or in any of his roles, so he seems a very odd choice to be the dad taking three kids to a safari park, the very opposite of being typecast.

That one where the blokes reaction to his small child saying "Daddy, I'm Hungry" is not to head to the kitchen to see what he can rustle up for the poor mite-oh no,no,no.
Far better to ask Alexa if there are any Greek restaurants nearby because there's nothing a starving child wants more than to trek out for a plate of stuffed vine leaves and a few glasses of retsina.
