Yeah I remember when the Peep Show lads were criticised for doing an Apple ad a few years back, they said that it paid more than an entire season of peep show and it only took a few hours to film.

I really can't take it seriously whenever I hear one of those two doing a voice over for a normal advert (like hayfever medicine or whatever) because it just sounds like the internal monologue of Mark or Jez. Funnily enough though, if I can see them in the advert then it doesn't have that effect.

Not sure if this has been covered, but last night I saw two Hive adverts and they actually have a guy walking about with what looks like a mandolin singing the songs. He looks just as punchable as he sounds!

Low rent ads (not big companies such as Apple and the like) usually hire sound a like actors for a fraction of the price but for the same effect. I always assumed this was the case for the majority of UK tv ads.

 

A bit like when Jack Swagger or whoever it was had that knock of rage against the machine theme.

It's spotify, but shitter.

That should be their tag line, I can imagine the ad going like....

 

"Here's a council gritter,

he's Bob an electrical fitter,

this is a badly packed kebab, pita!

Here's some chavs dropping litter.

Paul Gadd's a nonce, better known as Gary glitter.

Deezer, like Spotify, but shitter."
