I like adds that are well thought out and well made the Meerkat is one such advert they are almost an art form but on the flip side there’s some right skanky ones out there, for example Parkinson, I mean why!?, he pops up waffles on about “the toughest interview” he’s ever had then in the next breath he’s trying to sell us an insurance policy, how the feck!?. He was boring enough when he did his crap chat show but now he’s got even worse!.
And my top hate right now is the ING add with the Donkey and the flippin Mole, who came up with such disjointed load of old twaddle?, “a donkey asked a mole” (whoopee furking do!), who then got out his carrot and on and on it goes with no beginning or fecking end or more importantly a point!, someone actually got paid for coming up with this add?, Ye Gods where are they now in a secure unit under heavy sedation?.
Even the go compare add has a funny side and they are now taking the rise out of themselves but these other adds are awful, and don’t say it made me think of them either, this kind of add can just as turn me off from a product as take an interest.
Now where did I put my carrot??, oh yeah I lent it to donkey didn’t I?, wibble howl a gnashing of teeth and the sound of a Police tazer being used.

    I think I must be an ad-man's nightmare as I can never remember any - maybe because I either go out to brew up or read the paper during the ads.

    Well I think the Mole asks the donkey his life story, (filling in forms and doing credit checks etc), meanwhile his carrot, (his savings) has shrivelled, (lost value) and become inedible (worthless).

    I feel so sorry for the Donkey Mell :lol:

    May favourite is the new 'go-compare where the woman blows him up :D

    HAH!!!!

    Love

    I agree Toni, what was Nicholas Parsons thinking when he took up with wonga loan sharks, he’s a rich man as it is he’s also got a big following and with that comes social responsibility in my view, he should have kept well away from them he’s gone down in my eyes that’s for sure.

    The one that gets on my nerves and for me as a Scot really insults the itelligence of fellow Scots too has to be the new Irn-Bru one where they dont know what to call the baby then the word that rhymes with nanny comes up time and time again, even on a baby t-shirt...It makes me cringe and maybe its just me but why do they make us look like complete twerps???
    Meerkat has run his course but quite like the donkey one, think he is quite cute with his minute carrot!!
