I'm pretty sure the Direct TV Marionette commercials are about a serial killer and the conversations he has with his victims' corpses.

(istr there being two of these threads, one for merkins and one for britishers. can't tell which this is)
anyway, the mentos bumper ads that wrap all the e4 programmes at the moment, the 'cool' members of the public break-dancing or free-running, are some low-quality, sub-apprentice-task bollocks.

I think this is the American one:
worst commercials on television
"Adverts" is a British thing, I think?

In August 2014, Blackwood made his dramatic return to the small screen as the face of Burger King. He fronted a range of crtically acclaimed advertisments, promoting the new Big King and New King Chicken 'King Deals', priced at £3.79 in stores nationwide.

Haha I saw this yesterday and the first thing that ran through my head was "even just smelling this a little bit has already made me more suggestible".

Those Harvey Keitel "Wolf" ads..
I like them
But I can imagine some people might disagree...

the samsung(?) amoled tablet advert that shows me how good it's new screen is compared to old led screens. it does this ON MY LED TV. how does that work?

The worst music related TV ad I've ever heard.
So bad, that even Universal have realised and swopped out the voice over for another, the fucking clots.

The woman on the new Park Hampers advert is going for 'sympathise that things are tough' but her eyes are screaming 'oh god how did my life come to this, why can't I get a proper job on a daytime soap or something'.

Actually, with maybe one exception, the supermarkets have uniformly gone with the "look how posh our customers are folks!" (Lidl, Asda in particular)

The Guiness ad with the stalwart lady bartender putting out the elijah's cup guiness every night until one day her soldier boy husband returns home and the other skeevey dudes who hit on her raise a glass to him -- that one made me soooo IA

right now it's a toss up between the real creepy Viagra commerical with the long, uncomfortable close up on the Australian lady or the literal "come play, my lord" commercial with Kate Upton

Cravendale advert no longer has Martyn Jacques on it, so now falls here.
Aldi have Jools Holland doing boogie twatting woogie.

I don't know what you mean by "Wolf" but if you mean those insurance ads, I like them too.
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 24 November 2014 20:53 (nine years ago) link
Wolf was the character he played in pulp fiction who did a similar cleanup job.

I totally hadn't realised that was Harvey Keitel in the ads, I thought it was just some guy
― soref, Monday, 24 November 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link
Oh, that's sort of ruined it now. (xp)
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 24 November 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link
That's the whole point though!
― koogs, Monday, 24 November 2014 21:15 (nine years ago) link
I've seen 'Pulp Ficton' but don't remember anything about it so I thought Keitel was just playing some arbitrary menacing Mafia like figure.
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 24 November 2014 21:18 (nine years ago) link
That's pretty much what he does in Pulp Fiction.

Don't open this thread often but knew there was going to be talk about those Harvey Keitel ads. They are pretty good.
Should have hundreds of posts due to xmas.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 10:58 (nine years ago) link
Not a fan of the current 3 Mobile advert with the purple muppet and East 17 singalong for some reason. If 'it's really alright' is the best tagline you can muster...

The first time I saw that Pussycat Dolls' "Don'tcha wish yr girlfriend" Sharon Osborne ad, I knew this would be played well over the sell-by date, and yet I hated it on first go.
OK, moneysupermarkt, you can drop it now. Yeah?
― Mark G, Wednesday, 1 July 2015 14:47 (eight years ago) link
yeah that's a really annoying one. it's like a perfect storm of things that total idiots would find amusing.

They're still making 118 118 adverts after 143 years, despite the fact that noone has ever found those funny or entertaining or interesting.
― holger sharkey (Tom D.), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 15:00 (eight years ago) link
yeah what are those even? i always assumed other people understood them and i was just ignorant of their subtle charms.
― cod latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 15:02 (eight years ago) link
Inexplicable, it's like whoever owns 118 118 is locked into some PFI-like contract and have to carry on forever with something that doesn't work and never has worked.
― holger sharkey (Tom D.), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 15:15 (eight years ago) link
You remember the number, though, that's all they want.
(Though why anyone would phone the number instead of just using the internet, I have no idea)
