Why does that idiot groan "new balls please" at the end of the voltarol advert? There's no lead up to it so I assume that, because he's supposedly playing tennis, and "new balls please" is a phrase associated with tennis, it's supposed to imply that he has hilariously been struck in the testicles by the tennis ball.

If I didn't know better I might think an advert was holding a man up to ridicule by trivialising a painful incident with serious possible repercussions. Silly me.
I was wondering what this is referring to as well doesn't make sense, you're also correct that agencies seem to make comedy out of an injury, can't remember laughing when I suffered said injury.

James Martin for Asda - he seems to be spending his weekends living with different families, like the school hamster. 'I don't mind having him next time, as long as he doesn't make me eat cauliflower couscous'

I hate that ad too. I can't quite work out why, but he really annoys me, and I can't stand his face!

The MacDonalds advert with what do I get by the buzzcocks playing on it. Absolutely love the song but why on earth is it on this advert!?!?! Also the woman on it creeps me out
AWFUL! She is a weird looking thing; very moley. And I have gone right off that Buzzcocks song now.

The National Apprenticeships advert. The mother comes across as very unemotional. Especially the line: "I thought...going to university..and get a degree...there would be more prospects." Then it just cuts her out, but the entire advert annoys me so much. The girl who the advert is about is also very boring sounding and, GRRRRRRRRRRR I just hate the advert
Hate that too. Stupid, and poorly acted.

BBC plugging Adele's Glastonbury appearance. Just **** off.
Also hate this. Adele is good, but so over-rated IMO. A serious case of the Emperor's New Clothes.

The burger king(?) ad with the video in portrait mode of the couple in the car doing a load of fist-pump type thing and the guy has a very aggressive/angry look on his face, is that really meant to get me to buy their stuff? And are they using the part of the same music as one of the pizza adverts?

The "In the Doghouse" anti-drink drive advert. It makes the man look stupid when he did the CORRECT thing and the girlfriend/wife is a stupid cow

The Ice Cream ad on the cliff. What on earth is the guy saying ? its certainly not enticing me to buy it.
He's speaking Cornish I think Subtitles would be helpful though as all I can make out is the part where he says the flavours.

Funnily enough, I've been pondering this. I wondered if it was the hit in the testicles thing. Then I started wondering if the tennis was a metaphor for their sex life. She had a bad back so there was no coitus. After a dab of voltarol, they are at like rabbits; hence his request for "new balls please".
As he doesn't have any injuries and has just been beaten by his wife it's clearly a reference to him just being emasculated by a woman so is playing on the tennis phrase and the insult that he has no balls anymore.

Certainly they are not turned into gun-stones, that's the humour* of it!

you are right in that he is speaking Cornish cos it's Cornish ice cream - it's his accent that makes it sound worse

Horrendous advert, and yet again advertisers manage to get their man hating agenda across. stupid man for not wanting to pick up his drunk wife when he has had 2 drinks himself how dare he? lets portray him as downtrodden and weak.

Well she does the final shot with relish that's for sure. Maybe Voltarol should be on the banned substance list.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the ad (I have no idea what it's for) which has a CGI dog eating at the breakfast table with the family. The dog is just creepy and it has a voice that sounds like it belongs to some kind of sociopath or even psychopath. It gives me the willies.
I like them. The dry voice of the dog.

Its Beagle Street insurance btw.

ad for a program on Spike, "New and exclusive to Spike, also available on ....."

it reminds me of my time spent as a market spieler "Now then ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, who wants this unique item, there is only one, so the first person with his arm up, thank you, gentleman over there, now who else wants one"

I just can't understand how anyone with even half a brain came up with this series of appalling adverts.

So, the message they want to give us is that drinking two as opposed to one drink will "double your chance of a fatal crash" - so, what is the point of adding to that with the underlying message that everyone will think you are an idiot?

Makes me look back with great fondness on the Late, great Bill Hicks' marketing campaign http://genius.com/Bill-hicks-on-adve...ting-annotated

Do bear in mind, this link does contain what some may regard as offensive language etc. so if you of an opverly-sensitive disposition you may want to avoid
