While doing my dissertation, I get a lot of time sat in the lounge, typing up stuff with rubbish tele on. And of course, bad tele is complimented with bad ad's. So here's some of my fave's:
1. The one that tries to encourage you to quit smoking by convincing you that to do it, you need the right tools. (No, you just need to stop smoking.) But it does this using a visual metaphor of a man trying to clean a window with a trampoline instead of a ladder. But at the end he's got a ladder and he can clean the window. But the trampoline definitely looks more fun, plus he's managing to do it. Lesson? There is no difference to a life time smoking and a life time not smoking, other than the first one is way more fun.
2. The one for a program which looks Hannah Montana-ish but it's called Tori Locked Up or something, and it's basically about some kids that get into prison but don't worry, they can dance and sing! So they'll get out. Lesson? Go mental, get in prison, it's fine. Literally nothing bad in prison. You won't get sexually assaulted or beat up, you'll have a lovely time and plenty of opportunities to sing and dance, and if you're good at it (you will be, you'll have tonnes of practice plus you're young and attractive) you'll even get out free. And it's not like the guy you murders got a family that'll hate you still after putting on such a good show.
3. The one where a dog humps the E4 sign. Literally, nothing about a dog humping the logo makes that company more appealing. It's pointless. It's not even a real dog, dogs are horny as hell, why couldn't they have done it properly rather than with crappy graphics.
4. The uneccessarily grim Aviva life insurance one. Everyone knows what Life Insurance is for. There is literally no need to bring all the grim bit when the little girl goes "I miss daddy" into it. I'm sure she does, but I'm halfway through episodes of The Big Bang Theory, and as much as I like that program, it's nowhere near funny enough to cheer me up after watching the Aviva ad.
5. Adverts that have a list of logos of the shops where you can buy that product at the end, usually cleaning items. Come on guys, it's not the 90s.
