Adverts that irritate and entertain

[Gavin Scott]

Yes I don't know how that got past the scripting stage.

The would have had to write it down for farks sake.

The BlackCircles.com advert with the oh-so-obvious-it's-a-fake-Murray Walker.

The Gillette ad with Adrian Brody has made me realise that whenever I see him now, my first thought is BRODYQUEST

[Gavin Scott]

Love this ad.

[marksi]

The current Direct Line ads irritate me for reasons I can't explain. Dull, repetitive and with music which makes me nauseous.

[lukey]

Amazon joining the "tech company with vague 'we are cool' ad" brigade (following Facebook's yukky contribution) but this manages to come across as even more arrogant and charmless.

This is Edinburgh's new Christmas campaign.

Umm, yeah.

Fair play to Tom Kitchin's agent, not only is he in this ad (hardly the face of the city, is he?), but they've also got him sending out Pumpkin Soup recipes today by email as part of a 'Greener Scotland' government campaign.

It's almost as if the same agency is running both publicly-funded campaigns. Oh.... it's incredinburgh.

This is Edinburgh's new Christmas campaign.

I'll try not to rage about how irritating I'm finding this marketing, but this would actually appear to be Edinburgh's "Winter" campaign. If you go to the website advertised winterinedinburgh.com and click on Christmas, you are then taken away to edinburghschristmas.com. AND their Twitter says they are getting a new website soon. I despair.

Not impressed with the attitude of the female with her questioning of her hosts broadband connection, nor the handsome one's, "it's not as expensive as you think" justification.

I'd be all, "Aye? Then fuck the fuck off". After I'd shagged him.

I have nothing further.

[Alexia]

Completely unrealistic anyway. Knowing how "slow" her broadband is, she'd have prepared the music beforehand.
