Jamaldo Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 That horribly dubbed San Miguel advert. I also hate every McDonalds advert, but this new one, #youknowitssummerwhen, is the worst yet. That awful fucking ditty in the background, the awful voiceover guy. They're an awful company that sell awful food and make even worse adverts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Remember the McDonald's advert from a few years ago where they asked "How long will it take a plumber to earn enough to buy a double cheeseburger?" Cut to a two-second shot of a plumber sucking air in through his teeth, they way they do when they're about to tell you that you need every pipe in your house replaced. I posted on a TV newsgroup that the reason they didn't ask the same question about an actual McDonald's employee was that the advert would be fifteen minutes long. And some b*****d copied it and sent it word-for-word into Private Eye and won a tenner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Ruth Jones in the Tesco ad, I could kick her in the kipper all day long. Ahhhhh, me too. Eta: on a positive note, I really like that James Blunt lottery advert. Has me giggling away every time, especially the computer bit.

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The new McDonalds advert is surely the nadir of getting breathy female types to whisper an uptempo song over a slowed down piano version of it. Rhythm of the Night ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The new McDonalds advert is surely the nadir of getting breathy female types to whisper an uptempo song over a slowed down piano version of it. Rhythm of the Night ffs. It even managed to beat the breathy, whispery cover of "I Only Wanna Be With You" on the dogs trust advert. There must be a huge industry of whispery Ellie Goulding wannabes covering songs purely for adverts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a really undeserved reputation as a c*nt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The Fairy Liquid advert with the kid playing at Sherlock Holmes. He discovers pasta bake on the supposedly-washed dish; then after his mum switches to Fairy finds that the dish is perfectly clean and says, "Boring!" in the sort of voice that deserves getting the damn dish broken over his head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Saw this car crash during half time of France v Ireland on STV this afternoon. James Martin attempting to feed the five thousand with two bags of shopping from Asda, after sunbathing fully clothed in his female neighbour's back garden (I'm joining the dots a little here). His acting throughout is just pitiful. I'm not even going to start on the 'cauliflower couscous'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I liked the Lottery one with Vinnie Jones, who wanted to develop a machine that would generate power from people's anger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 There's an advert on Your Radio for Quicksale or something like that, which has a guy basically frothing and screaming into his mic. It's fucking infuriating. "QUICKSALE! SOLD!" f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I like that one too. He has a really undeserved reputation as a c*nt. Thank f**k. I thought I was the only person who actually likes him and thinks he's funny. He's got that reputation cos his music isn't great (which he happily admits to) and he plays to it wonderfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a huge industry of whispery Ellie Goulding wannabes covering songs purely for adverts. This. The one for a game (can't remember what) that had a wheezy melancholy cover of 'Come as You Are' by Nirvana particularly enraged me. As did Rhythm of the Night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 This. The one for a game (can't remember what) that had a wheezy melancholy cover of 'Come as You Are' by Nirvana particularly enraged me. As did Rhythm of the Night. Was for Quantam Break. Utter garbage cover. Can anyone remember where this trend started? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone remember where this trend started?I think it was Ellie Goulding doing 'Your Song' and the fact it was a massive hit.John Lewis' Xmas ads, basically.
