Good, bad, ugly in ads, adverts, advertising

Literally everyone is using slowed down acoustic versions of tunes from 90s. Swear I heard a gary numan and an underworld track this week.

Seems to be the thing at the moment. 80s stuff as well. I guess it’s to try and tug on the heart strings of those in their 30s and 40s who remember those songs from when they were children. Manipulative fuckers.

Like them horses running about on a beach.

Any gambling site advert, everyone wins somehow.
Piss me right off.
No cunt wins apart from the cunts running the bookies.

Fucking horrible Halifax advert on Soundcloud at the moment... someone loudly and disgustingly crunching popcorn for 30 seconds, pumped directly into your ears.

How could anyone think that was a good idea?

asmr innit.

Hopefully it'll go the way of QR codes in a few months.

I'm a massive Bond fanboy, so I loved this. But general office consensus is positive too.

Nicely done. But the endline.

Once James Bond,
Always James Bond.

Wat.

But the endline.

Once James Bond,
Always James Bond.

Wat.

As in he can't get away from having been James Bond once

Is it an advert funded by Daniel Craig in aims to escape being type cast so he can follow in the footsteps of Pierce Brosnan and star in a musical film based around the works of ABBA?

You may remember that lady from such films as where she's a nazi who snogs Indiana and his dad.

Bladerunner?

That's some rebranding.

The current Giff Gaff adverts which end in a number of people saying OUT OF SYNC! "Giff Gaff, the mobile network run by you". That saddens me every time I hear it.

Raytheon, who make missiles and smart bombs, have as a marketing slogan "Strike with creativity"

I really hope their workforce is strongly unionised.

I remain sceptical as to the actual use of Doritos in the dude's pan pipes.

Oh wow.

The ad may be better than the game itself though Female players get $1,900 at the start of the game, and male players get $1,500. When passing "Go", female players get $240, while male players only get the standard $200 as in the normal game.In addition, the game differs from regular Monopoly in that properties are replaced by inventions women created or contributed to, including Wi-Fi, to which Hedy Lamarr and Radia Perlman contributed; modern shapewear by Spanx founder Sara Blakely;and chocolate chip cookies, invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield.

Sounds like a laugh
