The timeline seems wacky on that advert. The 'daughter' appears to have been born in the 1960s, yet she's an athlete who looks no older than 30 in 2012.
I suspect the 'daughter' was originally supposed to be a granddaughter and the ad was even more pretentious and 'epic'. At some stage in the edit, they must have decided to skip a whole generation.
So glad it's not just me. I was trying to work out why on earth a 20 year old athlete's mum should obviously be in a retirement home and be old enough to have WW2 planes flying over her childhood.Now I know we do have a lot of older mothers but.....
Hello..new to forum ..brought to DS by the now infamous Amanda of FIAB..and finding lots more of interest.
Those Olympic ads with the mums and their kids in the Olympics - no mention of the dads at all, were they useless and did nothing to help their kids :cool:
No they were all in work to pay for all the equipment, tuition, etc their kids have had over the years.
Can somebody explain the Aldi (I think it's Aldi) with the 2 farmers talking butter, why does the one at the end say "how is your wife...?" I don't get it?

The cow moos, I guess he was `reminded`of her :cool::D
118 500 - Aside from this directory enquiry service being a complete rip off, the guy is an absolute IDIOT for using an electric shaver by a FISH TANK! :mad:
BIB, you seriously think the kids in that ad are singing a Jedward song?? Its a queen song! Jedward may have covered it but it is definitely a Queen song they are murdering!
No! I know it's a Queen song being covered but I'm saying the kids in the ad singing are so bad they could murder EVEN a Jedward song because Jedward are that bad xD
Everytime I see DT's ad I wish it was Usain Bolt and his fake beard again.
David Tennant must be peed that his only work seems to be crappy ads and shoestring budgets drama, he must really hate Catherine Tate who is becoming a regular on USA TV.
Don't look at the mantlepiece when you are stoking the fire.:D
Hahaha i suppose, but no it would probably turn out like the exorcist or something, she would turn her head all the way round like an owl and stare at you during with her weird alien face :eek::D

Oh good, me too! I suppose the ad occupied some down minutes for me in trying to do the calculations to work out the biological (im)probabilities.....

Speaking of which, assuming the latest batch of twerps in the BT ads are supposed to be students in their first flat (Google says yep), do you think the people writing the ads realise that today's students were born in the 90s?
"Wasn't that in '84?"
"You would have been..." *starts counting on fingers*
"Rocking from an early age my friend!"
No, you wouldn't even start trying to work it out, unless they're mature students or got held back 10 years in school. The '80s were 30 years ago now guys.

Although, strangely enough, the actor would have been 1 in 1984, so maybe the character could just about have got away with his lie? Of course, buying* a long-running band's entire back catalogue in order to impress a girl shows that the guy obviously has way too much money to burn.

*Assuming BT isn't advocating piracy, of course.
Also assuming that he owns his own fairly large flat and seems to have the top BT package.
What I don't get is the wifi access.
Surely he has it encrypted?
So
1) He has to go round all the girls telling them the access code
2) He disables the encryption and leaves himself with an open network
and
3) It's wifi. Why are the girls hanging around in the flat?
They have access to the network. They'd piss off back to their own flat upstairs to contact their boyfriends.

Ah ok....I thought he may have been "married" to a cow...
Yes. Urgh.
A wonky-eyed woman telling us she fancies a bowl of salad ..a fruit salad, she tells us creepily.
WTF?!
No! I know it's a Queen song being covered but I'm saying the kids in the ad singing are so bad they could murder EVEN a Jedward song because Jedward are that bad xD
Presumably so they can be sacked soon afterwards in cost cutting measures.
On the plus side, I find the blonde woman in the LateRooms.COM ads to be incredibly hot.

Yes it is :mad:
The Aldi adds have lost their touch. The first couple had dry humour and subtle timing; they were mild but smiley but alas are now rather clunky.
Why do the makers feel these two women have to shout for the duration of the ad.
