Did I seriously just see a "Go Compare" advert featuring Stephen Hawking? Seriously?
What the hell is up with that, on so many levels!
Ironic isn't it, an advert that acknowledges the sheer teeth-grinding awfulness of the fat opera singer in their previous adverts, and posits a scenario whereby the best thing Stephen Hawking can think of to do with a 'tame' Black Hole is to suck the fat opera singer into it (oo-err!), ends up being even more cringe-inducingly awful. Same goes for the Louis Spence variants of the same.
Not sure if it's on right now, but there was one ad for a fancy pregnancy test kit that marketed it like it was the latest "must have" high-tech gadget for the home, all fancy graphics, ice-blue lighting and sweeping pack shots. Absurd!
Patsy Kensit saying shes got her confidence back by losing 6oz :rolleyes:
Yep sat there thinking '''and at what point did you get soooo fat you actually sneaked past the paps with said weight gain to a weight watchers local meeting, sneaked in and out till said weight gain had gone ''' plezzzzzzzzzzz ....
It was not until you went to the DM for attention seeking publicity for the WW ad launch that anyone cared for your weight lost which you blamed on 4 marriages of indulgence.
Oh! and we all know that angst of putting on 'slutty fat' due to two relationships not meaning anything to you.
The Confused.Com one is okay for me, but if you look in the background, one of the animals is biting at one of the other male character's belt.. upon first glance it looks like a bite to the crotch.
The Nisa advert.. man goes in to get shopping.. goes back out.. suddenly there's a dog playing a guitar standing in front of him! What the heck does a dog playing a guitar have to do with shopping?
The Confused.com ones are just getting worse and worse, there is now a wheelchair bound farmhand in it, and what is with the big bald black bloke? weird, just weird....
The Nisa one, I think it is supposed to be the man goes in for dog food, but spends so long buying up all the bargains that his dog has taken to busking for food!, (would have liked it if the Ad. had finished with the man finding he had forgotten the dog food and had to go back in.
Regrettably, I just overheard an advert for some charity saying “For an innocent child to die in this day and age is just not right”. Yes, because obviously all child deaths before the 21st century were quite OK.
I've now seen the Stephen Hawking Go Compare ad. Amusing at first, yes but like the rest of the celeb cameos, the novelty will wear off quickly. As someone else said, I'm beginning to wonder how big their marketing budget is!
I remember this horrendous advert that may or may not still be running, advertising the Clear Blue pregnancy test. The woman in the advert boasts all of these qualities, and at the end of the advert says "the answer it cannot give you...is if it's a boy or a girl", but the way she says it is almost like it's a selling point. It's really quite terrible.
As for the Go Compare adverts. I like them when they involve people actually known to the public, not someone who played Martin Platt in Coronation Street 7 years ago. Stephen Hawking amused me, I didn't find it cringe-y.
I was thinking of the Go Compare adverts when reading this and was about to joke that you were being very dismissive of Stephen Hawking!
as if:eek: no it is a boy in a wheelchair dressed as a farmland, they now have a totally inclusive ad, fat people,thin people,girls with big t &a, boys with massive lunchbox, old people,young people, black white and yellow people, dogs,cats, disabled, the lot.
even people who are suing their hairdressers (yes Cora I'm looking at you):D
Not keen on the new Compare the Market ad, I want Aleksandr and Sergei back!
Do you remember that ad from a few years ago for one of those bathroom air fresheners where the kid says 'I'm going to do a poo at Paul's!' :eek: What was that about?
There's a new advert were a woman starts singing, don't know what it's about but it became unbearable after 1 1/2 seconds (speed mutes). I've become sloppy, heard 3 full seconds of it today before hitting mute.:eek:

Paul sued them in the end for all the toilet blockages from everyone pooing round his house.

It actually made me laugh but I did wonder how much they must be paying out for the celebs and prime time advertising.

Just seen it, awful.
Guess it is a cue to go to bed!

Weight watchers what a great role model you have got there...not a case of 'who ate all the pies' but 'who just signed the tart'...

That Ad. is just wrong on so many levels :mad:
She looks about 10 years older!.
I was shocked when I first heard that from someone in Spain that said they were watching a film and then there was a 20 minute ad break.
The trailers on CBS are a bit like that. I am sick to death of the adverts for Taxi and Cheers that are repeated in every ad break
