I love these new chocolate ads

[whisky]

five or six airport vehicles fight each other down the runway while queens dont stop me now plays for a full minute or so, then just at the end silently a bar of chocolate rotates into view.

Remember those Busby ads? If you see Sid, can you tell him. And what about that Post Office one where Keith Harris tries to mail Orville, but then you realise Harris has had a really bad & obvious hair transplant, so you focus on that instead of the fact its advertising something that's shutting down all over the UK.

 

[whisky]

Busby yes, Orville no, maybe it was regional.

Remember the safety warning film about swimming in ponds with the voice of Donald Pleasence as death?

 

[Gagh]

The Orville one is on now.

I'd actually forgotten about these until NOW.

Or the Charlie Says one. Or the Green Cross Code (with Alvin Stardust and David Prowse). Oh, and the time they put an ad on for Always Ultra in the middle of the World Cup Rugby Final in 2003....

I haven't watched adverts for 4 years.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I've seen that choclate one hundreds (well, not hundreds) of times without actually getting to the part where a bar of choclate appears on the screen for no apparent reason, so I'm not sure it's a success in terms of advertising choclate.

I hate those Birdseye adverts where Suggs walks into someone's house and starts eating fish fingers.

Those adverts are actually subversive messages about how space/time is not as it seems that that we should try and look beyond what we consider "reality" and into what may or may not be the truth.

Take, for example, the moment where he throws the bowl of peas into the air - time stops, but yet he is able to move. This is showing his control and his distaste of such things as time and gravity, telling us that there is more to these things than we realise. Notice the family do not seem to be aware of his presence, but yet he is able to interact with items on the table. Is he in some sort of alternate dimension or out of phase somehow, is he in another place of existence? Could this new place of existence be heaven and/or hell, or maybe some kind of nirvana?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well, that's one way to look at it.

I just thought it was rude of the boy to throw the cards all over their fish finger dinner.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I don't want to go compare.com.

 

[CaptainWacky]

You can save money with confused.com!

 

[whisky]

confused? arrrgggggggggg

 

[CaptainWacky]

Did they really fire Vic Reeves as Churchill's voice after he was done for drunk driving? I can't tell the difference.

 

[whisky]

Yes, then hired someone to impersonate him

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oh no!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

And now he's in some other advert where he dresses as a woman.

Yes, I hate how Suggs has sold the heart out of Madness' music. It's one thing to appear in the ads, it's another to pimp out one the most well known & well loved tunes of your band's catalogue to be used as well.

I would rather Rose West do the ads.

 

[whisky]

After reading Wiki, it seems Vic used to do the voice of the questioner, and Bob used to do Churchill, Bob used to carry on being churchill after Vic got fired, but now neither of them do it.

 

[Gagh]

Vic got fired because he got done Drink Driving.

 

[headvoid]

I wonder if Rose West has an agent?
