peasepud 59 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 More interesting with adverts are the small print they flash up, womens cosmetics and hair products are the worst. Things such as "70% of 229 women agree" which means that 68 women didnt think that it worked! Or the classic that appears on the Cheryl Cole ad is when they say about how it makes your hair something like 50% shinier...... the small print then says "compared to unwashed hair". Seriously? washing your hair makes it cleaner??? wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 People complained to offcom about that Cheyrl Kerl advert as she was wearing extensions and half of it wasn't her hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? washing your hair makes it cleaner??? wow! You actually wouldn't believe how complex that whole process is. When I was making ads I used to be constantly down London at the advertising standard authority trying to get them to let us remove some of the stupid wording they would insist on. As this wording has to stay on screen for a regulated number of seconds it made life very complex. Basically a bunch of pen pushers with rulers and red tape.

Also, re: what Craig and Andrew were on about, I saw an ad for one of those cheque-cashing places where the APR was about 2500% last night. Dick Turpin eat your heart out.

Howmanheyman 32606 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 credit expert ad This is just so shit it's untrue. I'd love to have seen the bloke who thought this ad up selling it to his boss. 'Go compare' is fucking annoying too. 'injury lawyers 4 u' with the bloke from the Bill, in fact all their adverts are cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4355 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 'injury lawyers 4 u' with the bloke from the Bill, in fact all their adverts are cringeworthy. The "We are..." he spouts always gets a "no, you're a fucking actor" from me. The "77 out of 111 women agreed" bugs me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 32606 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 injury lawyers 4 u; "we are real lawyers" (phew, hate to get one of those fake ones!) "100% lawyers, 100% compensation" (they might give you a discount for a 70% lawyer, I don't know, you'll have to ring them.) "We get all our costs from the other side" (fuck me, I'd hate to be the on the 'other' side, they're in for it, them poor fuckers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 "Lawyer" is a proper non-technical term btw. Isn't reliant on any professional qualifications at all, despite the near universal perception that that's excatly what it brings with it. Hence why it's used so deliberately.

Ayatollah Hermione 13762 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The one where the sofa lasts through the divorce. The most maudlin way to sell a sofa ever. Why don't they just have someone sit down, say "ya fucka, this is comfy" and then 3 minutes of them singing along to the Go Compare advert? At least then you're reaching a target audience stupid enough to think the DFS sale ever ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid 0 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Latest advert for MilkyBars, shows some adults acting like incompetent bairns whilst chewing or unwrapping their lastest product. The thing that pisses me off is at the end, it freezes and shows the product (MilkyBar with raisans), and the slogan states 'Ungrow up'. Are they fucking mad? MilyBars previously looked and tasted like a childrens chocolate bar, their latest offering is a pathetic attempt of rebranding a product. Astonishing.
