[TV] Sofology

[Stat Brother]

I will never buy one of their stooopid sofas solely based on those tw@tty Owen Wilson advertisements.
The adverts make my skin crawl, naturally I assume the sofas will do too.





Any others?

And he shagged Jennifer Aniston in "Marley and Me", so I too am out.

There is a certain Zutons record I won't buy on principle...

Is this a thread because you want to buy a sofa or adverts you don't like?

Adverts I don't like.
No prizes for guessing what TV channel is nattering away in the background, at Stat Towers.



I felt we might be ready for a lighthearted distraction.

The Arnold Clarke adverts that were interspersed within some excellent C4 Walter Presents stuff (i think) - i.e. every single break there's these two wetsuit clad girls who have been I assume SUPing in a lake - one can't find the key to their Arnold Clarke Peugeot 3008 SUV believing it is at the bottom of said lake. The other one (with blue hair and yellow hat) waves the key and then they are seen enjoying coffee in the car (probably wearing DryRobes but that's another rant). Every sodding break

They are similar to DFS , average quality at cheap (ish) prices .

How I miss this HALCYON age of advertising

It's about -10.

Arnold Clark are on the list.

They've been owned by DFS since 2017!

Bet365. Bet responsibly. Bet in play. Naaaaaah!

(and all the other responsible betting ads; some of them are exclusively focused on minimising betting; a bit like watching ads for a knocking shop that focus exclusivey on the risks of ghonorrea and the moral turpitude associated with carnal flippancy).

Doesn't starting this thread show the advert is spot on and works

I will flat out refuse to ever buy one of their sofas because of the advert.
Previously they had a 50/50 chance of getting my cash.

I'm not sure that's how adverts work.

I bought one of their sofas ..but it was three years ago and not on the back of a tv advert..am I excused

 

[MattBackHome]

Of course it's worked.

The reason it works is that his voice is soft, relaxing and cosy, like a sofa.

Where do we start?
Funeral plans with £100/£105/£110/£115/£120 gift cards
Funeral plans where you don't have a funeral because a cartoon old bloke says he doesn't want one
Anything Carol Vorderman tries to sell when you struggle to understand her because her face has stopped moving
Life Insurance with the terrible acting from the bloke who is 33 and a non smoker
Anything they can't be bothered to reshoot so dub into English badly
Whatever the conservatory thing is that caused them to get Anna Ryder Richardson on TV for the first time in 20 years
