I'm a big fan of the meerkats but I find the latest one a little bit sad. Poor little Serge has been reduced to a hospital bed all because his master works him far too hard.
BT:-
The creepy 'hotspots' guy is too clean looking to be a real student, eg.,
1. The hair needs more grease.
2. Bumfluff stubble required.
3. Needs ridiculously over-sized headphones around the neck.
4. Use a Mattel 'My First Goatee Beard' kit.
Oi, I'm a student and I'm not filthy. I even drive and laugh at the peasants on the bus.
Don't you love the ignorant? They're often good entertainment that's for sure.
Note to everyone who thinks John Hannah is saying Gud with Fud, he is NOT, he is in fact saying "good with food" but with a Scottish accent. He is speaking the English language. Hope that helps the uneducated to understand better.
For the life of me, I can not, in any conceivable shape or form, interpret Hannah's pronunciation as "gud with fud".
First time I saw this, I thought it must be some heart-wrenching appeal ad. Now I know it's something much sadderer than that. Poor Liv and her long suffering hair. Thank god she's found a lifeline at this difficult time for her hair
They should put her dad in the ad instead, screaming his head off when he finds a split end :-D That would liven it up a bit!
not to mention that if you tug on the Dyson the same way as all the other vaccums in that ad, it too will experience the getting stuck / stretched hose effect.
I bloody hate adverts that assume I'm some kind of thick [EMAIL="****"]****[/EMAIL] that cannot actually interpret what my eyes are seeing.
I bloody hate Dysons anyway... Why are they all so big and ugly Why would I want to put a big ugly plastic purple washing machine in my white and stainless steel kitchen?
Why do we have to have ads in the cinema anyway? We've bought a ticket to see the film, paid for over-priced confectionary (traditionally the most profitable part of the cinema) - now we have to sit through the same lame stuff we see at home.:mad:
I agree, I usually buy tickets online and turn up a touch later so as to miss them, seeing those ads on a huge screen makes those annoying ones even more annoying as they are more in your face and you can't turn them off!!!:mad:
For me, the most annoying ad on telly at the moment by a country mile is that Churchill one with Martin Clunes, you know the one "I love" and the dog keeps interrupting!
I have gone in the past few days to switching channels every time it comes on as I just cannot sit through it!
BIBs: No it doesn't. The only one of those words with which it rhymes is rood.
Do you mean rude and also mood. It all depends which part of the country you come from, I am from the south so to my delicate ears it is gud with fud as in I say, phonetically grarse & barth whereas someone who is more northern than me says grass and bath. Oh dear I have confused myself now
No, in English Food rhymes with mood and rood, but not with hood, good or wood.
But how do mood and hood differ? I can see from my Concise Oxford that the oo sound is different, but I'm buggered if I can hear a difference!
Besides...why else would the title of the Good Food Guide allude to the rhyme? Or the Co-op advert itself? And if good and food don't rhyme, why do the English hear it as gud and fud?

The "oo" in mood is much longer than that in hood. If you try saying them the same one is going to sound ridiculous.
The repetitive and unfunny direct line and churchill adverts. :mad:
I still can't believe gocompare is still going strong. In their smug "press release" language it must be "proving popular". Well the pair of you (Fat waiter and idealistic bugger from ad agency), just read this thread. Then go and stop these adverts.
The thing that annoys me more is how idealistic Gocompare's YouTube videos are. The descriptions go on the lines of "Gio has an adventure with 3 ugly pigs and the wolf wants to know where to get his insurance from! Enjoyable advert starring Gio Compario). It makes me want to punch someone every time I hear the name Gio Compario!!! It's not his real name, and stop being so idealistic!!!
I suppose Meerkat wouldnt be much better in that sense (From Alex to Sergei) but fortunately I love the meerkat ads.
Funny how halifax just show a brief picture of their (dubbed) choir at the end because people were probably throwing bricks at their TVs while seeing their faces .
And finally confused.com with their annoying X-factor type singers. The mute button on my remote doesn't even say mute anymore, the paint's worn off :yawn:

For the last flippin time, the "oo" in words such as "good" and "food" (and also mood/hood for that matter) sound exactly the same in most Scottish accents (if not all). You are clearly not familiar enough with this and trust me, for those of us who know how to speak English, we do not sound ridiculous, just because we happen to speak with a different accent to you.
John Hannah IS speaking English, good DOES rhyme with food, He is not saying Gud or Fud or anything else.

Bullingdon Club?
Anything but, I can manage my budget (unlike the government) to drive despite being low income!

And if you do, you're a total fud, by the way!

I assure you, when speaking with a Scottish accent (and probably quite a lot of other regional variations) food rhymes with ALL those words.

When the little girl says "Good work, Emiluuuyyy" has me cringing >.<

He's also got blood in his poo or loose poo!!:(
Does he also save save save save save save save save
One very weird, totally over made-up bird grimacing at the camera followed by 'Oooh! Cheeky bum-bum!'
I suppose it will resonate with the chavs who loved the Lynx one a few years ago:
'Boom shakka wah-wah!'
