Utterly shit adverts

[wordsfromlee]

This Virgin Media one is really making my blood boil at the minute. Mainly because this kid's bedroom studio consists of an OP-1, a Roland Space Echo, an MPC 2000 and an Orange 2x12 cab which is about nearly four grands worth of equipment and she's only a teenager and I'm not jealous at all by the way.

She doesn't get clearance to use that sample either.

I know this has been around for a while, but I saw it earlier and it put me in a bad mood

I seem to have seen far too much of this one recently.

The current Lynx one is shit, but in a TIL crossover, Aitch and Anthony Joshua are CGI’d into it as it’s originally an Axe advert in the US. 

At least it’s better than the last one with the least convincing school from ‘Manchester 1995’ I’ve ever seen, and a squirrel shagging a can.

Those Masterclass adverts voice-over'd by Gordon Ramsay.

It's not egg toast, it's egg on toast, you thick twat.

YouTube is available to use at work, so I listen to glorious synth 80s pop. However, in between these, I either get that annoying NZ bint telling me how HelloFresh is cheaper than she thought, or some FX trade bloke who just had shoulder surgery.

Get in the bin.

Saw this new can of Coke yesterday, and was annoyed by the use of 'AI' on the cans description. The spiel on the official website is somehow a hundred times more pompous and shit than what I saw on the can

https://www.coca-colacompany.com/media-center/coca-cola-creations-imagines-year-3000-futuristic-flavor-ai-powered-experience

 

Theres plenty of cringe worthy bollocks being wrote on that page, but it doesnt get much worse than this nonsense:

 

"Coca‑Cola® Y3000 Zero Sugar was co-created with human and artificial intelligence by understanding how fans envision the future through emotions, aspirations, colors, flavors and more. Fans’ perspectives from around the world, combined with insights gathered from artificial intelligence, helped inspire Coca‑Cola to create the unique taste of Y3000.  

“We hope that Coca‑Cola will still be as relevant and refreshing in the year 3000 as it is today, so we challenged ourselves to explore the concept of what a Coke from the future might taste like—and what kind of experiences would a Coke from the future unlock?”"

I actually love how fucking stupid that is, and how obviously very dated it will be very quickly, let alone in a thousand years. I love a sweeping and bold and wildly inaccurate vision of the future.

Resurrecting an old thread to say I've just seen an advert for Pot Noodles on Challenge that actually made me feel quite ill. (fish in a barrow standard joke here). I'd link it but I'd rather not have to go out of my way to see it again. If you've seen it, I'm sure you'll know - absolutely vile. Imagine seeing that on a hungover Sunday! God knows how that got green lit.

Wonderful.

Fish in a barrow sounds like what @Richie Freebird calls a night out on the pull.

Think I might be getting whooshed here....isn't shooting fish in a barrel going for the clear and obvious joke (in this case that Pot Noodles are gross enough to make you feel ill anyway)? I understand the full expression is "like shooting fish in a barrel" but I'd often go for the abbreviated version in conversation and didn't think twice about it here. 

Okay....as I'm typing this I've worked it out. ? Barrel! Barrel! Just a typo - although I am an English teacher by trade so no excuse!

We've all done it SpookyWoods, it just tickled me. And also the mistype has turned it into something just as plausible and about as logical.
