Good, bad, ugly in ads, adverts, advertising

can't find a photo of this online so reduced to describing it badly

there was a great Muller corner advert in the Guardian weekend on Saturday. A double spread - the left hand page was the inside of the top of a muller corner and the right hand side like the inside of the muller corner. So when you opened the double page spread it mimicked opening a yoghurt

I used to like to hear the "chicka chicka" bit from Ferris Bueller now and again. Now that Ronald "Cunting" McDonald has got his greasy fingers in it I never want to hear it again.

Is this the Edgar Wright ad?

Apparently so.

This is great:

Wow

The Verisure alarm advert - "Thanks I disarmed your system". Every time I see it I'm reminded of Joe Wilkinson's poem with the line "I just named your penis".

The New Telegraph logo is a little bit 3Rd Reichy

The new lottery advert is just a depressing tale of a man who’s been addicted to gambling for almost 30 years. Can’t even stop thinking about it on his wedding day.

Mein Gott! Is this real?

He’s Reich. It’s been their logo for at least a year.

Skoda TdF ads on ITV4 are great.

I always thought the bookend ads for itv programmes were quite good, like the skoda ones, and the C4 ads for Dr Oetkers around the great British Bake Off likewise not too serious and a bit of fun.

That fucking raised eyebrows advert for McDonalds is making me exceptionally unhappy.

Totally agree

a bit late but here is the ad with Lance that got scrapped because his name was still toxic.

Icarus cunter.

Maybe should be in 'any question' or somewhere else, but any of youse experts have knowledge on the Eurostar rebranding? It seems to have gone below the radar a little. I've not seen any explanation or thoughts behind the design. I usually find that some background information helps me form an opinion.
