I could just about live with that ad if it didn't have the obese douche from every - other - fucking - advert.

I see "leeedull" or Lidl as everyone else calls it, are now advertising on TV. I wonder if they've been losing ground to Aldi.
Meanwhile I am currently annoyed by the dreadful advert with the man with karaoke on his shirt and the other awful one "wash your room wash it with febreeze".

They've been advertising in the Central West area since 2006. Their PowerPoint style ads are bad and "Leeeeedull" is their name, apparently.

Lee-dull adverts have been running, at DFS levels of appearing-in-every-sodding-break, on UTV for years - since I left Norn Irn in 2004, at least.

The Tesco mobile advert is original.

This new Yahoo advert is long, baffling and for a product that's about 3 years too late.

The co-operative voiceover guy is starting to seriously do my head in, telling me "There's nothing like a nice stirfry", "At the end of the day, there's nothing like a curry", and "There's nothing like a nice gammon roast".
The
curry one annoys me most as they don't even tell you what type of curry it is, other than a "delicious sauce" and you should serve it with "riiiice". He's got such a whiny voice.
I think they're on the gammon ones now, but I still have to mute every time. Plus, no co-op I've ever been in has seemed like a "great deal locally".

Most 'Co-operative' shops are operated by regionalised societies so I do not see the point of trying to advertise them all as a whole when they all look so different.
However the main 'The Co-operative Food' people are trying to convince these societies to adopt the new national branding (think ITV), many (incuding The Southern Co-operaives, my local society) have adopted it albeit very loosely.
Back to the adverts, I love The Co-operative Food adverts mainly because the background music is brilliant. I would be very grateful if anyone could share a copy (please though, without the lyrics on top of it), thank you!

I like the Co-op adverts. His voice is less annoying than the iPhone guy.

Liverpool Hope University. Never mind if you haven't got anything to say, just make up some absolute shit and put it on tv.

Natwest business banking. The man is an expert in stating the bleedin' obvious.
"I'm sure we can find a way to make your business more efficient, but obviously not to overburden your cash flow, cos that's important"
Well, duh :roll:
