I mean... WTF? But at least it's catchy!
Adverts that irritate and entertain
Of course; the victim is the poor sap who is eemed at fault, and thus is the target of frivolous lawsuits for things like "emotional trauma"!marksi wrote:There's an ambulance-chasing-lawyer's advert on at the moment that contains the line "have you been the victim of an accident" twice.
Can an accident have a victim?
"Back in my day if you were run over by one of them new fangled autocars you damn well got up and walked even if your legs were shattered, maybe even thanked the man for it as well. Of course then, many people just walked around with legs hanging on by tendons and we were thankful too. Falling down steps was considered fun for us we were so poor, we just got up, cleaned our wounds with some iodine and got back to it."cdd wrote:Of course; the victim is the poor sap who is eemed at fault, and thus is the target of frivolous lawsuits for things like "emotional trauma"!
The new Barclays advert with Stephen Merchant doing the voiceover. Someone tell him (and Ricky Gervais, Hardeep Singh Kohli, Jimmy Carr, et al) that smug, cringe-inducing, faux-sarcastic monotonous style of delivery passed its sell-by date a long, long time ago.
The new Visa advert is brilliant.

I officially loathe any advert that has a white background, or at least a white 'endboard' thing at the end. It's so lazy. :roll: Hopefully, in these recessionary times, the ad agencies are going to have to start working a little bit harder and be a bit more creative with their adverts, because random graphics + logo slapped on a plain, bright white background just won't cut it.
