The cute carrot on the Aldi ad is probably the best one I've seen so far this year.

I've seen an advert- not even sure what for - where a woman tells us she's called at a garage for a check when in a rush (or something) then says the dude in the garage says she must have some car part and suddenly he's her hero.

Comes across to me like she's been taken advantage of by this 'hero'


Also TK maxx have ensured my finger will be on the mute button at every ad break....

The Tesco couple are back in a kind of stealth, pre-emptive strike Christmas ad. The husband brandishing a box of mince pies, "too soon." Yeah mate way to soon, put them back you idiot!

Why are people dancing with a plate in their hand just before they are eating their Happy egg

It is only an Egg
talking of which "Why does the French President only have one egg for breakfast?"
"Because one egg is an Oeuf"

Anybody here seen the Bells Whisky advert where the bloke from the TV show Garth Marenghis Darkplace is singing with other people

Why are they making adverts that has singing it as they are so annoying
You mean Matt Berry - it's his "Stephen Toast" character from "Toast of London" he's doing there I think.

Seems appropriate that he's such a bad actor he can't afford to drink a decent single malt scotch and has to put up with the cheap blended grain stuff.

Don't know why he slags off the singers then joins them. Maybe that one sip gets him drunk enough to forget his principles? Or maybe he is "getting into the Christmas spirit" or some such clever play on words we mere mortals don't understand but has advertising executives rolling on the floor laughing.

I misread that as AUDI, and just spent five minutes imagining a cartoon carrot driving a sports car in a Christmas advert. I especially liked the part where he did a power slide and all the snow he kicked up landed as snow-carrots (carrot shaped snowmen).

Hate the one were all the family get their Christmas gear on and go out and bump into another family with the same stuff. Its some online shopping thing.
Haven't given it enough brain space to notice the company, but it sums up Christmas today.
That went over my head as I didn't notice that in the ad

Saw that yesterday and thought it was odd and cringeworthy.

I mentioned his disappearance a while back. Just his mother and father to get rid of now and we're laughing!

Don't count your chickens before they hatch, I have a worry that there is a big Christmas get together coming for the Tesco family. I would put money on the dopey son turning up with an unfeasibly hot young lady in tow as his girlfriend and the dad trying to chat her up under the mistletoe.

As terrible as adverts and advertising is, without it we would have very little TV and would have to pay huge bags of cash for internet access.

Marketing people call this The Hook. If the tune gets stuck on your brain like some kind of earworm, then you're more likely to remember the ad and, hopefully, the product to which it relates.

Whether you are then subliminally persuaded to go out and actually purchase that item is another matter altogether!

Staying with songs, why has the 'company's own' musical jingle largely fallen by the wayside? More or less every song on an advert now is an existing, actual chart song, from the past, ruined by awful versions. Often, the same song even appears on multiple different adverts at the same period of time...and they're all different versions!

Seems lazy.

I do hope you're not petitioning for the return of "more reasons, more reasons, more reasons - more reasons to shop at Morrisons"

Perhaps not. The Crisp 'N' Dry tune of the 90's, however...
