There you go. Oooh! I'm a "creative"!

Oh, that's much better than my idea. Especially if they did it in the (frankly terrifying) style of the original scene. "How do I know? You said I'm money. How the f*ck am I money. What the f*ck is so money about me."

Well I never, G-Tech have only gone and finally splashed out on a new ad for their (redesigned) Air-Ram vacuum cleaner! Guess we'll be seeing this one for bloody years now.

and they will have all the time that well meaning idiots in the West keep giving them money,
more money they are given,
the more children that they have,
more children less resources to go around,
less to go around, more people starve,
the more people starve,
the more morons like Bob Geldof campaign for more money
the more that well meaning idiots in the West keep giving them money

Good news - There's a new Clearscore ad!
Bad news - It has all three from the first one, including the dog that sounds like the Cookie Monster.

Oh how wonderful. I'm still reeling from the creative genius that created Flearoy, the cat with the strange accent and the equally strange desire to own a chicken nugget

I have to make a grab for the remote control every time that ad comes on or I would do serious damage to the telly.

I can never understand advertising agencies who seem to think the best way of getting customers is to annoy the hell out of them.

Beagle Street. The one with the talking beagle and the man in his pants! Why? At least they seem to have changed it now to a cartoon. Awful advert.

The Iceland ad. The woman saying it's changed her perception of frozen foods. "No waste, I can take what I need and put the rest back in." Eh???? How many decades have domestic freezers been around? Like Iceland has revolutionized their lives. Seems I must be light years ahead of my time as I've been keeping frozen food in mine all the time!

I think the idea is to make it "memorable", and one does, indeed remember the advert.
In my case, however, i usually forget the name of the company.

Kevin Bacon and those EE adverts, each worse than the one before.

That SCS woman gets more and more grating by the day. She has shrugging shoulders constantly up and down through the entire advert.

Agreed. The freezer door opens every time you go to it, not once a month like the wife's vagina.

So *that's* what the small really cold part of the fridge is for.

I've not read the whole thread but I'm guessing Clearscore isn't the first time this has been mentioned!:

well their new current one isn't so bad but the previous one used to annoy me. Who the heck wrote that script?! "Let's get our credit score" "What? Do you want to check our credit score?" I would change it so that the next line would be "Did I f**king stutter?! That's what I clearly said!!"

Don't think ASA would approve though.

The latest one is him dressed in red leather, taking off Britney Spears. Only I'm not sure it is her or a lookalike. In any way, I agree that the adverts have got worse. The only one I actually like is the one where there's 5 of him, as each particular movie characters.

"Truth? You can't handle the truth!"
"That's not even his line."

The Fiat Tipo advert with that terrible rendition of That's Amore. Thank goodness for remote controls!
