Pish Adverts


Recommended Posts

The adverts with a word search you get during the day where you can win about £30k the newest one has the clue, Popular TV Crime Series and the answer is clearly Midsummer Murders as it takes up a whole line. I know these are clearly easy to make people spend a fiver phoning in but very annoying.

 

Add to that anything by JML

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw is clearly a money laundering scam of some sort, yes?

They absolutely must be although they are a massive Company in the USA operating under a charitable status. They operate with a profit margin of 16-18% after prize purchasing which is nice work if you can get it given their operating costs excluding advertising will be negligible.

A certain mayonnaise advert.

Shows various folk looking glum with nothing in the fridge other than a jar of mayo and they somehow end up cooking all sorts of wonderful colourful dishes.  Where did that chicken and those peppers come from?  The garden?

The previous prize showed a house below an embankment which carried a small river, they are hawking properties that can't be sold due to being in flood plains or other defects.

The woman doing the advert is a whiney sort, I have to mute sound when it comes on.

What came first, the chicken or the mayonnaise?

Pressing pause on the remote :)

Except I'm not because they are really irritating adverts.

The latest one, if I heard right, is about 100 yards from a cliff edge in Dover, so it's not lasting long either.

That gambling advert where Peter Crouch stands up in front of the big outdoor screen showing the football to say "come on!!!" to the crowd.

In reality, all you'd hear would be various variations of "get out of the way ya f***ing dick" as he gets hit with liquid-bearing projectiles.

"Eat them to defeat them" currently ripping my knitting.

I'm not sure that making vegetables look like deformed monsters is the best way to encourage children to eat their greens.

Be like running an advert for sausages that implied that they can look a wee bit like an alien turd.
