• Women like talking about flatulence and diarrhoea
• Halifax Radio's playlist is shite
• Long eyelashes are more important than, oh, a cure for cancer
• Only washed up actors get the ambulance-chasing adverts gig
• Drinking Bombardier appears to get you a little bit hyper-active

What else can we learn from TV ads?

However quick a QuickQuid 'payday' loan is... the Representative 1734% APR makes it a very expensive few minutes!

  • Toothbrushes that talk are actually slightly scary
  • Foster's have not taken into account the fact there are time differences between the UK and Australia
  • Strongbow aren't in the slightest bit patronising towards their target audience
  • If you are to advertise a product for women's products, producers need to be a little more subtle in ripping off girlie TV shows such as Sex & The City
  • Loud sirens, flashing messages and Bert Kwouk might entice you in placing a bet, piss-poor pundits pretending to be mechanics, Ray Winstone and Boris Becker won't
  • Luis Figo may still have the skills, but is an absolute sell-out
  • Some kid wants to do a poo in Paul's bathroom

Perhaps I should switch to Lynx. Then again, Mrs Titanic might not be overly impressed by the inevitable and constant flock of semi-naked beauties attempting to pull my clothes off!

If you buy a Nissan Qashqai, you can drive up walls, make the walls move in and out for you, and jump off of a car park, causing no real damage to the car or occupants.

Whenever a group of 3 or more women appear onscreen together whilst walking, it is now within the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) statute to play the "Here Come The Girls" track.

Mens hair colouring products must always be filmed in another language, and heavily dubbed.

Honda ads must have a voiceover of a man of senior years talking to you as if you are in a care home.

If you are advertising sofas, you must not under any circumstances be wearing socks.

The Milk Tray man needs to get a girlfriend who doesn't live at the peak of a 100ft snow-covered mountain surrounded by a shark infested moat

Isn't it about time that in the name of equality he ends up "and all because the Boyfriend loves Milk Tray"....

  • Red lego viaducts will withstand the weight of motor vehicles (according to Santander)
  • Sky TV has actually been around since Medieval times
  • The bunch of blokes from the Carling ad are probably the last people I'd want to go for a pint with (especially if they're all drinking that piss)
  • Cake Skodas are better than real ones

I'm still stuck with the ingrained melody of ad-tunes for products that disappeared years ago....

"You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth wiith Pepsodent!"

Any more out there?

It might just be me, but over the years, whatever age the OXO Mummy is, she seems to be rather lovely :love:

Lynda Bellingham or are going back to Katie "Gives your meal man appeal" that ran in their 60's ads?

Make your mind up time I think; an OXO woman or the semi-naked beauties? If thinking seriously of the latter then your proximety to the Weald 6th Form College may be a risk to factor in.

Give a man a fish and he can feed himself and his family for just one day but give the man a net and the means to catch his own fish, he can feed himself and his family for a lifetime.

I don't think we had a TV until the early 70's... and our first colour one for Virginia Wade's Wimbledon final triumph in 1977... so I'm afraid I have missed out on the fragrant delights of Katie and her man appeal!
