[Cricket] Offensive TV Ad

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'm more offended that people have taken a Crodo thread seriously.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Classic Crodo

Crown have achieved their purpose. People are talking about it. That's what adverts are for, whether annoying, irritating or funny.

Indeed. Jenny Eclair may have achieved more views of the advert than the advertisers would have done without her complaint.

Thought the ad was very catchy but just thought someone would be offended when 1st saw it.
God knows what they would do if Humphrey was about again

I'm not offended by the advert, but just found it cringeworthy, and over-engineered. The whole thing - the song, the colour palette, was plastic.

Why can't adverts be like the old days?

'It does what it says on the f*ckin' tin, yer ******* !'

Edit: Crown paints are **** anyway. Dulux is miles better.

If Dave had worn a Dulux, then there probably wouldn’t be a baby on the way.
Er, have I got it wrong somewhere?

A white, heterosexual couple on TV? What is this? The 1980’s?!

I didn’t vote remain for this backwards view of the world to be allowed on telly.

 

[KZNSeagull]

I always think the driver in this one she says the F word. Still haven't worked out what she does actually say

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Or misjudged the advert/mood in the room

This. The old fellah has lost his touch.

 

[BN41Albion]

Pretty rubbish advert but hey we're all talking about it

Definitely nothing offensive though, christ what a world we live in sometimes

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

It’s possibly offensive to Hannah but as we don’t know the context we can’t tell. Also, she is a fictional character so I’m sure she’ll cope. Jenny Eclair seems to have made a bit of a leap with her assumption the couple only got married because of the baby although this is all a bit rich coming from her anyway. Causing offence is the point of her act.

 

[Miami Seagull]

Absolutely pathetic to think that it is in any way offensive. It’s called humour. Not at anyones expense, just humour. My God I am sure people are spending their days searching for ways to be offended. Chill

Wardy’s twin, it was the best I could come up with.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Indeed. Jenny Eclair may have achieved more views of the advert than the advertisers would have done without her complaint.

Is that the same Jenny Eclair who made us roar with laughter that she has 'labia like a spaniel's ears'?

By the way, Mrs Earle was offended by the ad independently of Crodo drawing attention to it. I think she missed the one where the girl sings that the only fun she had was sitting on the tumble dryer!

 

[carlzeiss]

If one person is offended then it must shirley be banned , only right yes

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wouldn't get that with Farrow and Ball.

Is the correct answer

Haven't heard of this Eclair before, but maybe this apeshit-unwarranted outrage it is a publicity stunt from her?

What's wrong with it...? Whimsical, funny, some people get offended for the sake of it. It's called a sense of humor...

Is it the "don't know who's it is line" refereing to the baby on the way Croydo you do like a nice shit stir don't you.

If its not that then imonce again clueless.

 

[The Clamp]

There’s plenty of things that “get people talking”.

9/10 times I can never remember what the advert is for, so it’s not necessarily a good thing.

 

[The Clamp]

What a terrible advert though. The “lyrics” are dire.

“I was halfway through a scone”

Terrible.

This is a real example of just how low standards have got. They think by filling the advert with a selection of BAME Zoomers acting slightly whimsically, they can sacrifice quality.

If I was in that meeting this wouldn’t have got past the “I think I have an idea…” stage.
