Continuation of: Worst advert on TV at the moment (Part 11)

The new Evian advert with the weird looking babies, Im surprised the bloke is not freaked out
That advert is weird with the babies on the beach acting like adults. It's kind of like a reversal of the Haribo adverts.

And to top it off they are using some girly version of The Beach Boys: Kokomo as well.

Oh my god, I hate that she leaves HALF WAY THROUGH A SONG! Like sorry, use Spotify yourself mates
It was only the last time I saw the ad that I realised the DJ was a she! I thought it was a bloke, given the iffy dubbed over voice. Sounded like a Cockney bloke, at first.

I blinking LOVE that avert, Quicksilver is my fave, and we have a GOTG song to boot, what is there not to like
As someone who isn't a Marvel afficianado, I find it odd that we have two different blokes playing that character in the film series. I know it's a rights thing, but the studios should be able to have sorted that out, surely?

pretty well how they have always treated male only cancers, the have "Runs" and "Days" for female only cancers, but they don't seem interested in male only, here I declare an interest, I have just been diagnosed positive for prostate cancer, do to phobias I have not been able to have either MRI or the CT scan, am asking for them to fund a "Standing/seated" MRI, so far told no, the cost if I fund it myself, the final option £650 (6 weeks of my basic state pension, the only pension that I have, unlike the new state pesion of more that £50 more, for people who have only paid in for 36 years , I and the existing pensioners had to pay in for 44 years) such a large fortune, I have to wonder whether they would refuse that sum for a female cancer test..
BTW prostate cancer is NOT the fault of the patient, it is not due to anything that he has done, except of course the sin of getting older and not dieing to free up NHI funds
As someone who has had life-saving surgery more than once (all based around my replacement aortic valve), and also spent 45-50 mins in an MRI tube after one of my regular checkups saw the docs find something in my heart they thought *could* be something, but an MRI showed it's just a 'fatty deposit' (fill your own jokes in here), and I've got to have another one later this year (which will be a 2-year checkup on that), while it wasn't huge fun being in there and I just recalled the words from Die Hard - "Now I know what a goddamn TV dinner feels like!", I'd say that whatever your phobias, just get in the tube. Better to be checked out than the alternative.

Trivago ad where the Australian girl keeps telling us how to find a cheaper price for "the exact same room". There's just something about that expression ("the exact same") that irritates the hell out of me and she says it repeatedly in the ad.

It took me a while to figure out which franchise (and I'm still not sure) the advert was all about because I haven't seen half(?) the films and/or serieses that are referenced though I did get the general idea of superpowers being at work and not just a magic remote.

I know it's a rights thing, but the studios should be able to have sorted that out, surely?
Only 3% of 186 superheroes surveyed (including fifteen Batmen, seven Spidermen half a dozen Hulks and an original Wonder Woman) agreed.

Quicksilver in the Avengers world is dead now anyway, shame really, he was good too.

One for furniture covers, I don't know whose? because the" idiot male" spills paint on the 3 piece suite but the long suffering sensible wife orders new covers and gives her husband a look like he was a naughty child and he slinks off into the garden. Yet another ad. degrading men. About time we had some making women look stupid.

Exactly. In adverts today women can leer at men yet the following internet only Pot Noodle advert was banned (or withdrawn) for objectifying women!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZABflWv4GK8

To me the Pot Noodle advert is less objectifying women than the old 1990's Diet Coke '11.30 break' adverts objectifed men, yet those as are empowering. And the old Diet Coke ads are tame compared to some of todays 'women empowering' adverts.

I've never thought of that before.
God, that advert is depressing though.

Gorilla Glue
America's best selling glue, is their entire USP.

Who gives a monkeys what is the best selling anything in America.??

That God awful Ford F-150 pickup-truck is "the biggest selling vehicle in North America",
but no-one in their right mind would buy one in Europe

If you owned a tree surgeon or gardening business and needed a fleet, the F150 might make for a good buy. Very cheap and big.

True, but you would buying on price and size - not because "it is America's #1 bestseller"

Dear Aldi

Those are not "fun size" apples. They are small apples. There's no such thing as a "fun size apple"; why would a small apple be "fun" and a larger one not?

I hate advert speak.

And Istvan, sorry to hear you're unwell, thinking of you and hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

People eating biscuits with kittens emerging from them to the tune of Beverly Hills cop.

So… were the people who came up with this on acid or what?

Saw this ad today, it made me sad.
Top Cat was one of my favourite cartoons as a kid.
Not cool.

Oh, thank goodness, I've found this next thread, Part 12! I was panicking!

Back to the subject in hand:

The Dulux advert. where it's OK for the kids to paint and draw all over the walls because they're painted with Dulux and Mummy can wash it off with one easy wipe, so we can do it all over again. Perhaps that's where all the vandals are reared.

Too be fair, dulux have been advertising their paint as good for wiping mess off the wall for years, like in this classic advert, and for once this is an advert that I actively like:-
