Gibson335 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Those Haribo adverts drive me nuts - that kid is so precocious - same with the Oreo advert. I would never allow my child to behave so disrespectfully towards either myself or their father! QUOTE] I think that's the reason I like those ads - they remind me of things my own daughter has done or said, and I could only ever laugh at it whenever it happened.
speckytecky Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Oh yea - so there with you on that. The 2012 Olympics already sucks as far as I'm concerned as it's just like Christmas and the other Festive occasions - hijacked by commercialism and how can professional sports people who earn big career money in all honesty partake in what should surely be amateur sports? Ads that annoy me at the present moment of time are for anything made by proctor and gamble yes i know your sponsoring the olympics but I dont need hear about in every other ad.
witch Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 .....I would never allow my child to behave so disrespectfully towards either myself or their father! Oh, the innocence of non-parenthood.....
mattlynch Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I have to agree with @AMLightfoot on the Dulux ad, one of my faves, I cant stand anything to do with "if you have had an accident in the past 3 years" or "if you have had a loan, credit card or mortgage in the past 5 years
Norphy Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 All of the loan companies that advertise and charge 278-40000% APR make me shout at the television. And the "Cheque Centre" poster where it says "Borrow £100 for only £25" annoys me too.
AMLinington Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Oh, the innocence of non-parenthood..... LOL True, but my mother would never have tolerated that from my sister or I and indeed did not. That being said, I believe I will fight a losing battle as their father (aka LeBoyfriend) is much more liberal than me and the rudeness I've seen Mother-in-law tolerate from her Grandson does not fill me with confidence that my strict stance on respectful behaviour will in any way be supported. My disciplinary model will be the leaning tower of Pisa - undermined before I even finish building it. *sigh*
Valyyn Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 It seems to be part of their new stupid campaign - they are now trying to 'kill off' the Go Compare man. Presumably gearing their new marketing campaign around how annoyed people are by the opera dude. Personally I am MORE annoyed at stupid posters that look like they've been defaced by vandals - don't we have enough vandalism and degeneration of the high street in this country as it is without deliberately hanging a poster that makes the place look worse? I hate it hate it hate it! Interesting fact - Go Compare were apparently offering a new advertising/marketing contract - their only condition was that any adverts HAD to include both the opera guy and the song, non-negotiable. Pretty much every company refused to touch it with a barge pole - one did take it though and the result is what we have! Fair play to the marketing company though, they're doing the best they can with a train-wreck of a gimmick 1
krisd32 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Possibly one of the most strange ads going but it just makes me laugh.
ConTheITGuy Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Oh...and whilst I'm on this.... The new Go Compare posters have been radically altered around a certain Northants town.... Perhaps @synaesthesia or @GrumbleDook have noticed?? Does anyone remember the Sega Pirate?
