I think you can combine it with Meerkat movies too, and it gets you discounts at some restaurants so it gets well used for date nights. But yeah, that dude is an insufferable prick. At least he's just a knobhead though, unlike the previous guy they had - I can't find a link, but it was the fuzzy faced, dead eyed blond twat with Thunderbird lips who couldn't say "Welcome to a world of infinite possibilities" without sounding like he was looking into a busy children's playground. Did you say you wanted a tasty debrief? Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great value two visits would normally get your money's worth. Totally my deal - as soon as my daughter is old enough to be left on her own for a couple of hours my wife and I are getting the cards. Would go at least once a week if I could, if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Last day of the PPI claims today. End of an era for some of the worst ads ever written. Question is, what's going to replace them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2019 Did that thing have tv adverts? I saw the posters and I thought it was the most bizarre ad campaign imaginable and really couldn't understand how it related to PPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 It started with the puppet shouting at people to make decisions and ranting about PPI, really it was clearly someone thinking they were very clever coming up with the idea of 'Unlike him, PPI won't be back'.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2019 Wait, what channel is Quincy on? All I get to see is Dickinson's Real Deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2019 I don't watch any tv at all. Everything is on streaming services so I see very few adverts, if they're not YouTube adverts. Most of this thread goes completely over my head just like the sports threads.

Actually, a lot of films I record on TiVo are off Talking Pictures TV and Film4 during the day, so I usually see a lot of those adverts and the sad animal ones if I forget to fast-forward them.

I remember being in the meeting with the ad agency they’d hired and they did the whole “Emporer’s new clothes” shtick when they presented their idea for the TV as campaign. The energy company lapped it up and as I sat there as the software guy thinking, I was the absolute drizziling shits and couldn’t believe nobody else was seeing it. They’re main sell was three main characters that they claimed were going to be bigger than the 118 blokes (who were still a thing back then). It somehow got made and the ads and indents each side of the sponsored programming started. It lasted less than 2 weeks before the amount of complaints they got forced their hand to take them down. My feeling towards these sort of thing is that the ad agencies are most successful when they can confidently sell even the shittest of ideas, in the “we’re the maverick geniuses here and you’ll do what we suggest, pay our stupid prices and believe it’s brilliant as you’re clearly out of touch” type way. Come on, you need to spill the beans on it surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
