    The interior fittings seems to be like it is was in 1997 though; italic brush font in white on a black background, the ASDA Price logo (although the ASDA logo itself looks rather odd as it is the current logo with a white outline), the uniforms seem about right apart from the aforementioned logo. The till seems to be the same in both eras, well that's progress for you. Maybe it would be more realistic if a stone with an engraved ASDA Price logo was visible, I seem to remember these from that period.

    I agree about the clothing though, it is very mid 1980s. The late 1990s was not that much different to today in my opinion, I know I still wear the same type of clothing (not ladies obviously).

    Regardless of the above, I believe ASDA was far better in 1997 than it is now. Come on ASDA, use the proper tune and jingle, you know you want to.
    They changed them in about 1997. I remember these dresses, popped my poppers on more than one occasion, until I stitched the front together. :o

    The Go Compare ad where he's autotuning shit out of some equally shit tune. He says he guy sitting there isn't with him (He obviously is?) and the piano is fake, then why have him there in the first place! Stupid ad

    I genuinely thought that those ads couldn't get any more annoying but that ghastly hippity-hoppity autotuning has indeed achieved the seemingly impossible.

    The advert for Q10 anti-wrinkle cream (and others for similar products) gets on my nerves as well. Why the hell do they get young women advertising these? Surely they should use women who are actually in the age group they are aiming at.

    That Revlon advert for the Colourstay lipstick - the model looks like she has inches of makeup on.....really powdery face.
    If it's the one i'm thinking of then it's the actress Olivia Wilde. She has kind of an alternative look anyway but I agree with the blonde hair and slapped on makeup it makes her look a lot worse.

    The Minstrels one with the two girls seeing the strippers works my nerves like you wouldn't believe :mad:

    And every time that Harvester one comes on with that boy in the chef's hat, he gets referred to as "that cocky little c**t" in this house :eek::o

    Going to read this thread now and I will be flabbergasted if these two don't feature heavily :cool:

    I don't understand this. :confused::(

    The inference being those aren't coffee stains and the lecherous (especially in the original version of the ad) kid has again succeeded in his "quest" with the naive young fresher.
    Quite funny once you see it

    Let's face it just about all adverts are created to appeal to the stupid and ignorant in life. I get so annoyed with them most of the time so they are now played at 30x speed with no sound as I record nearly all programmes with adverts the exception being when when I watch Sky News and then I have to endure endless appeals to give at least £2 a month to Benwoir or someone because they are starving, accompanied by that dreadful tedious plink plonk slow piano notes and whimpish crawling voiceover.

    Just seen an advert there for some fashion website, Can't remember what It was called but it had two women sat at a computer making sex noises and then they show you they are looking at shoes!! Sigh.

    I saw that the other day. I couldn't grasp what accent they were trying for.

    I couldn't grasp the concept of the advert at all. :confused:

    I must be one of those women that don't get turned on by bags and shoes. I may say "Oh, that's nice!" But I've never made sex noises!

    It looks more like the early 90's (or even late 80's) in the ad not 1997 IMO.

    The ads. for Coke and all the other 'refreshing' drinks are a masterpiece of advertising. We're the only creatures on God's earth who need telling when we're thirsty, yet you see countless muppets walking round with their bottles of Volvic thinking it's 'cool'.
    Ditto Red Bull. Judging by their advertising/events budget, there's serious money in fizzy pop with a dash of caffeine claiming it's (totally unfounded) an 'energy drink'.

    I usually drink from volvic bottles, however they're from a multipack and just filled up with water from my kitchen sink. It's easier to grab a bottle out if the fridge and healthier for me too. It does make me laugh when you see the yummy mummies stockpiling the stuff in Tesco round our way though, I haven't the heart to tell them that they can get it for free out of a tap!

    That Wonga advert seems to be showing on every single break currently...I hate it

    I though money lending ad's were supposed to show the interest rates charged; can't say I've seen it on this ad. I think Wonga have been slapped on the wrist for this before. I think payday loans are evil anyway, isn't the interest something like 4000% or something similarly alarming?
