    This ad is perhaps traumatic in a different way. Not sure I want my chutney to have this exact effect

    Comment


      I'm always amused that, having noted that I mainly watch videos about electric cars, renewable energy and the like, YouTube concludes that the best advert to target me with is for a rebodied Renault powered by a stinking diesel.

        Muller Quark.

        What is that? Ooh protein. Yay, I guess.

        And bizarre European milkmaid stereotypes and talking cows.

            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.

              To paraphrase Dolly Parton, they must have spent a lot of money for it to look so cheap.

                I like how the milkmaids twirl to the Hawkwind soundtrack on those ads...

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

                    Ching is slang for cocaine, isn't it?

                      It's slang for money around here.

                        Separate from ka-ching or ker-ching?

                          I've heard all three but lately I hear 'ching' a lot.

                              I once met a guy who said 'cha-ching!'

                              Which, obviously, is just plain wrong.

                                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.

                                  The 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.

                                    Given David Mitchell would accept a fee to turn up at the opening of an envelope there's nothing odd about it at all.

                                      Well, yes, I don't really blame him for taking the money but what was the (casting) director thinking?

                                        I think it's a very positive message of a dad who's finally come out of the closet taking his three children to the safari park with his new partner.

                                          Well, Mark (ie, Mitchell) was supposed to have fathered a child to Sophie in Peep Show - but, true, he was shown to be ridiculously inept at parenting.

                                            He (Mitchell) is a dad.

                                              Why are Red Robin offering bottomless steak fries? What did they do? Why are they bribing us, so?

                                              OK, admittedly, the price was a hint.

                                                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.

                                                    I'm watching the SEHA league game between Metalurg and Steaua at the moment and noticed that Gazprom is using "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" as it's slogan. Which astounded me.
