BASF - Invisble Contribution 2007-05-03 23:30:18 Woah! Talk about a hard sell. Alright it’s not like they’re pushing “Puppy Torturing” or “Stealing Children’s Sweets” but trying to advertise a chemical company is pretty tough work.
Chemicals, it’s fair to say, have a pretty bad reputation. And people who make and sell chemicals, well, theirs is probably worse. But, in their latest advert, [...] Read more:Contribution
SCS - £5 Million Give Away! 2007-05-10 21:10:13 We had a bank holiday over here in the UK this week which means getting stuck for hours on a congested motorway, a visit to the seaside even though it’s minus 5 degrees and pelting it down, or going to one of the great bank holiday super-bargain mega-saver give-aways at the shops (or in fact, all three).
Nowhere in good old Blighty are these give-aways more prevalent than at sofa shops. And here’s the first rule of the sofa flogging game, if you want to succeed it’s important to have a name that’s an abbreviation but no-one must be allowed to know what it stands for. That’s why SCS (”Seriously Cheap Sofas” ??) and DFS (”Discount Furniture Store” ??) are the *big two* sofa players.
The second rule is when it comes to adverts you’ve got to have a dodgy rip-off of a well know song. And when it comes to dodgy rip-off’s of well known songs the king has to be the DFS’s Subterranean Homesick Blues rip off. A rip-off so ba
Strongbow - Total First Pint Refreshment 2007-05-12 13:17:03 There’s a danger when your advert has a single idea or hook (regardless of how good that idea actually is) that it can very quickly become annoying. This has happened with Strongbow’s TotalFirst
Pint Refreshment advert.
Because although at first I thought it was mildly amusing, now whenever it comes on all I hear is the voice in my head screaming:
“AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Judge for yourself.
Foxy Bingo 2007-05-19 23:43:14 This advert gets filed under the What the Monkey category. I’m going to ignore the *women love idle chit-chat* element of the advert and go straight to the I don’t get why fox striding round the silent world is just so posh.
I’m not the only one either. Craig, who submitted this bad ad says:
“The life sized aristocratic fox is totally out of place, and why the hell is a giant fox and a man sat waiting in a hairdressing salon at the end?”
Judge for yourself:
It’s pretty clever though, you’ll have to admit; the website’s called Foxy Bingo
and they’ve got a fox in their advert!
Here’s the results of a brain storming session I’ve just had on how they could make the advert more original.
They get a load of people all called Fox (Sam Fox, Michael J Fox, Dr Fox, Liam Fox etc) to play a quick on line game of bingo (this is only a 30 second advert after all). The winner has to sadistically kill a coop of chickens with their
Phones 4 U - Wooden Hand 2007-05-19 09:57:20 We’ve got a long and great history of grotesque in the UK: from church gargoyles to Alice in Wonderland to Nadine Baggott.
Oh and freak shows! We love them even more than the grotesque. You know if it’s not midgets, then it’s the Elephant Man. If it’s not the Elephant Man then it’s Peter and Katie. We love freaks and we love it when they are in a show.
The League of Gentlemen tapped into this love perfectly. Creating a setting and a cast of characters that was horrific, disturbing and funny as. But what’s more the writers even managed to get you caring about some of the characters. I mean, who hasn’t got a little soft spot for Tubbs?
Advertisers have been trying to get on board with this for a few years now too. Most notably Phones
4 U. Their adverts are set in a seaside town where all the people are a little odd, except for a thoroughly too pleased with himself mobile phone salesman.
And, OK, they’re not the worst advert on TV but I ha Read more:Wooden
Clover Butter - We All Love Clover 2007-05-21 13:53:49 I love food. There’s no denying it: I’m a food lover.
Whether it’s Birds Eye Potato Waffles, Findus Crispy Pancakes or a packet of Cheesy Watsits; I love it.
In fact sometimes I think that I might love food too much. Shall I have one more tub of Cherry Garcia or shall I stop at 4? If I could make a sandwich in the shape of a women, I’d marry it. Except before we got away on the honeymoon, I’d have to eat her (oh, and the law doesn’t allow it).
I don’t, however, love food so much that I break into tears just because someone has handed me a jacket potato with some butter on the top. The folks in the CloverButter
advert do though and it’s just a little disturbing:
Eva, the kindly sole who submitted this Bad Ad, to be fair finds it more than a little disturbing:
“It just makes me want to scream - and I do - “It’s BUTTER for God’s sake!”
What is the point of it? Do people who eat Clover lead such dismal, af
Trident - Mastication Campaigners 2007-05-25 08:22:36 Trident are back from the shame of having their last set of tv adverts pulled off the air due to, what some people thought was, racism.
And unless they’re selling bomber jackets, hob-nail boots, hair clippers, string vests, sovereign rings, and jeans with turn ups, being accused of racism goes down pretty badly with a company. So Trident had to have a rethink…
And who would have thunk it, the new adverts are actually slightly less ball-breakingly bad. But they insist on using that God-awful slogan still.
“Mastication for the Nation!”
Arrrggghhh, help me Lord! Anyone who finds the use of the word “mastication” even in the slightest bit funny should clearly be sat on a wall shooting crows whilst wearing a t-shirt saying “I Shot JR”.
I mean, come on, it’s so unbelievably puerile it’s untrue (of course writing a blog about TV’s Worst Adverts isn’t puerile in the slightest…).

Mars Planets 2007-05-30 16:08:32 Oh people! Aren’t they idiots? More stupid than your average door handle. Less memory power than the piece of chewing gum I trod in today. They couldn’t remember their own name even if it was “x” and it was tattooed on the insides of their eye-lids.
But surely they can remember the ingredients of a chocolate bar that has been made for over 70 years, cant we? The makers of the new Mars Planets
advert are hoping they can’t.
Because you see the great thing about Mars Planets is that you can mix them up to enjoy the great Mars taste your own way.
There’s chewy caramel. Heaven.
Who doesn’t like the soft nougat? Bring it on.
Oh and the crispy wafer. Woo mama!
What? No, hang on, there’s no crispy wafer in Mars Bars. No, no, you’re thinking of Kit-Kats. Or that Kinder Bueno. Or them there Maltesers.
Just how pig-ignorant do the advertisers really think we am?

Glade - Touch and Fresh It’s All Gone 2007-06-08 17:23:44 Do you know what I really hate about doing shits?
It’s not that I always have to do one when I get to the in-laws’ house and that their toilet is right next to the living room so everyone can hear me straining (I know this to be true, I have heard others *plop*). And it’s not that thanks to my diet of pie, chips and brown ale that passing a stool is more difficult than squeezing Barry Austen through a turnstiles at St Andrews.
It’s that my shit doesn’t smell of the sweetest rose but of, quite frankly, shit.
Here’s a funny thing, some times I do ones that smell so bad I actually lose the ability to speak and I can only communicate through the use of rudimentary drawings. Unbelievable but true. Here’s one I passed (no pun intended) to the good lady wife just the other day:

Motorola - Moto Z8 2007-06-10 03:53:36 The first time the new Motorola
Moto Z8 advert came on the TV I thought “Film of horses through the ages; it’s gonna be for a car”. But it’s not for a car. Then it takes that film of horses from the movies twist, so maybe it’s for the Equine Stutman’s Society. But it’s not for the Equine Stuntman’s Society. Well maybe, as it’s finishing with a high tech horse film, they’re making a live action film version of BraveStarr? But they’re not making a live action film version of BraveStarr.
Before the advert finished I’d lost interest, day-dreaming about Thirty-thirty and Sarah Jane. So I didn’t find out what the advert was for. It took a few more watches for the disappointment of BraveStarr to wear off before I realised it was for a mobile phone. Only to be even more disappointed:
From what I read, it’s actually showing the development in the quality of film through the history of cinema. The horse is ju
Scholl Cracked Heels Cream 2007-06-16 18:04:20 Some people are vain. That’s an undeniable fact. I present to the court exhibit A - Victoria Beckham.
But just how vain do Scholl think people are?
In their latest advert for cracked heel cream, there’s a women on an escalator who is embarrassed to be seen in public because she has cracked heels!
Jesus H Christ! What a crime against all things decent! Cracked
heels you say? She should be publicly flogged, the crack-heeled Witch!
Come on Scholl, give us a break. As if life isn’t hard enough without having to worry about whether the person behind me on the escalator is going to vomit down the back of my trousers because of a scabby bit of skin on my foot.
Whatever next? Public humiliation for having a bit of flaky skin on your scalp? Oh no, hang on, that is very humiliating. Well, whatever. My advice (obviously as a trained podiatrist) if it hurts, get some cream, if it doesn’t, forget about it. Read more:Heels

Johnson’s Holiday Skin 2007-06-23 10:44:51 Do you know who I hate? White women. With their white little faces, and their shiny white legs. Oh and God don’t get me started on their glare inducing torsos. White women make me sick.
In fact, one day I saw one in the street and I was so horrified when I got home my wife said “You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”. “Worse,” I replied “I’ve just seen a white woman!”.
That’s why I’m so very glad that Johnson

Skin is available on the market. Because we all know the only way to improve the average white woman is to turn her ever so slightly orange. Yeah, get a nice Dickinson going on her. A bit of an O’Connor (Des not Tom). See that mahogany dresser? Yeah, just like that please.
That’s what you’ve got to do because a hoard of tangerine beauties walking the streets would make this Country a better place.

Lynx Vice 2007-06-22 17:08:42 Praise the Lord! This ad’s quality is oh so much better. A se7en style police detective plot with a pretty convincing Morgan Freeman look-a-like.
But you can’t polish a turd. And as long as the underlying message is still there the Lynx adverts will be in the running for the “Biggest Piece of Bullshit” on tele award.
In fact, I think the message may even be worse this time because they print it on the screen “Lynx Vice: Turns Nice Girls Naughty”. Some women are rightly outraged by the implication that nice girls don’t do dirty, horrible sex (eurgh) only dirty, horrible *slags* do. Will we ever tire of this hackneyed male “I’ll do things your wife wont do” fantasy that is not only degrading to women but it justifies the thoughts of the idiotic men who believe it to be true.
So come on Lynx, move on from this crap. Your telling us your product has improve fragrances, try having some improved morality when it comes to making adv

s (obviously I’m not referring to any of the posts).
First of all we’ve had some comments left by actual TV advert actors. In this celebrity crazy society that we all live in, I think that counts as have actual somebody’s (I’m not calling the rest of you nobody’s but you know what I mean) reading this blog. Of course, when I say “reading this blog” I actually mean “Googling the adverts in which they appear” but they are welcome nonetheless.
We also had the great Foxy Bingo debate. Was there a fox in the original idea, wasn’t there a fox in the original idea; it got just too exciting for me to follow at points. Anyway, it turns out there wasn’t a fox but they have made lots of money. Good for them.
Finally the results. Well, would you believe it, it’s a tie again this month:

MFI - Dont Start 2007-07-06 03:09:08 Oh, domestic bliss. How we all yearn for it. That’s why I love the MFI advert so much…
“WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS?”
Whoa! Calm down love I was just trying to write a blog entry about the new MFI advert. I think it’s possible THE worst on TV at the moment. The way it displays the mechanics of family life in such a negative way really detracts from the products they’re trying to sell. It may well be ironical but it stinks like a month-old rancid turd on the 5th floor of an inner city car park stair well…
“WHERE’VE YOU BEEN?”
Arrrghh! I’m not sure I like your tone of voice but I was just in the kitchen now I’ve come through here to the computer I was just going to…
“WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DOING? DRINKING?”
No, no. What is this the Spanish Inquisition? I appreciate some of the reviews I write up here are a little sloppy but I’m never drunk when I write them, well almost never…

Ford Mondeo - Desire 2007-07-10 16:33:55 What shit lives we all have. We all live in London or the ‘burbs. We eat and drink in miserable, near empty cafes. We work as car park attendants, sat by ourselves for 8 hours a day with just the Daily Mail for company. And worse, our shit world and shit lives have made our children so lethargic that the lie motionless on their beds staring out of the window.

Vauxhall Corsa - C’Mon Out of Bed 2007-07-14 17:22:23 Sticking with the car theme, here’s the latest advert from Vauxhall
for their Corsa
:
Every time I see one of these adverts I think to myself: “God, I’m so not in the demographic they’re targeting here”. There’s a couple of reasons for this thought:
Firstly, whenever I hear Sean Paul singing, regardless of the words, all I hear is “Mr Lover, Lover. Hmmmm”. Yes, to me at least, Sean Paul is the current Shaggy. And that’s not a good thing, kids.
Secondly, the adverts feature a fictional *band* of puppets (NB: I don’t think the word ‘fictional’ was strictly necessary there but I added it for complete clarity) called the C’Mons. But unless they is Muppets, puppets is whack.
In my vain attempts to be in the mind set of the target demograph I think these words:”So you’re doing a little puppetry, huh? That’s whack! Puppetry is whack! ‘Sup with the whack puppetry, ‘sup?! Huh? Come on, am I 19 or wh
Becks Beer - Only Four Steps 2007-07-18 16:14:58 Let the Becks
Vier Beer advert be a lesson to us all.
I loved this advert. I thought it was quirky, original and everything fitted together in a very clever way - reinforcing the message: “Only Ever Four Steps”.
Just plain brilliant.
I loved it so much that if I weren’t tea-total, after seeing this advert the first time, I’d probably have rushed out and drunk myself into a four-step Becks coma. As it was, I had to do with buying a couple of crates Becks and soaking in a four-step bath of the stuff (not my preference, you see, but it had to do).
Then they change the song and ruin the advert.
Why? Why, for the love of all things with only ever four steps have you changed the song Becks, why? Why?
As a special treat though, dear Reader, here’s the original for us to enjoy one last, sweet time:

Trident - Parachute Jump 2007-07-21 04:23:32 Trident and their Mastication for the Nation TV adverts have been a thorn in my side for some time now.
Thanks to the voting system here at TVs Worst Adverts, I know that quite a few of you aren’t too keen on the adverts either and after his recent post I think it’s fair to say that FishandChimps over at Chimp Media Monitoring isn’t a fan either:
“The latest ad has a pair of wankers jumping out of a plane and shouting some shit about the gum, I assume. There’s probably a shit-hot script in there somewhere but I’m not paying attention if its being shouted at me. It’s instant frontal-lobe switch off because twats jumping out of planes aren’t funny and aren’t original either.
In the last few years the following brands have advertised on the telly using the same parachuting scenario: Wrigleys (yes, another fucking gum but it had the virtue of being short), Toucan Telecom (who? they happened to saturate TV for a whole month back in 2005) Read more:Trident

Picture Loan - Dad’s Found Your Scooter 2007-07-22 16:09:08 I can say 3 words in a Geordie accent:
Cake
Photocopier
Conjunctivitis
Genuinely that’s it. But that’s still makes me better at Geordie accents than the women from the Picture
Loans advert:
She should have her Equity card taken off her, torn into a thousand pieces and thrown into the Tyne. Disgraceful.
Anyways, I’ve mentioned before that I think adverts for loans companies are like the psychics of the money world. Extorting money from the most vulnerable and needy.
This Picture Loans ad is slightly different though, it has a slightly different tone. They’re trying to make out that ringing up to arrange a loan is no bigger a deal than chatting to a close friend.
“I’m on the phone to Picture!” - the women snaps when her idiot husband dares to ask her a question.
“Sorry” - he mouths as if she’s talking to the Queen and it turns out the Queen is her mum.
“Don’t worry, it’s always like this here… Yeah
AA - You’ve Got A Friend 2007-07-22 04:14:26 Retro is the current Zeitgeist in the AA advertising department. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at the evidence.
In one of their insurance adverts they references the classic line:
“He’s a nice man. He’s a very nice man. He’s a very, very nice man.”
Despite the painful depiction of the 2 ageing hippies, the AA have scored good bonus points with me for the reference.
For their breakdown service, however the AA have looked to other classic adverts for inspiration:
Whenever I see this advert onto the TV, I can’t help but picture myself on a hill top out side Rome with the New Seekers playing in my ears:
“I’d like to teach the World to sing… in perfect harmony…”
Yes, the whole concept of the latest AA advert - a giant chorus of people, all singing an uplifting song - couldn’t be much more of a rip off of the Coke advert.
Except I don’t think the AA have quite done it right. “You’ve Got

RAC - Vinnie Jones: “Not the Orange One” 2007-07-30 10:19:14 If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to get me to buy something it’s the threat of physical violence.
I’m sure that you, like me, only have a Stannah Stair Lift in your house because of that advert with Thora Hird in where she threatened to break your knee caps if you didn’t buy one.
And I’ve just had new windows put in my house as well because a bloke from Pilkington came round and threatened to throw a brick through each of my old windows unless I bought their top-of-the-range toughened glass windows. It seemed sensible to go through with it as I figured one way or another I’d be needing the windows replacing. Plus at least the fella from Everest efforts to smash up my windows with a baseball bat will be pointless after I didn’t buy from him.
So when I saw Vinnie Jones in the new menacing, dark and unashamedly threatening RAC advert I did the only sensible thing; I went and signed up with the RAC as quick as possible. Even though I&rs Read more:ldquo

Sarah Jessica Parker - Covet 2007-08-02 15:31:06 Julia Roberts. Oh sweet Julia. How I love thee. But you have to admit, she’s a woman who can turn from one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood to He-Man’s arch-nemesis in the blink of an eye. But at least she is some times inexplicably attractive.
SarahJessicaParker
, on the other hand, isn’t. She is pure, unadulterated Skeletor. Whenever I see her face, it always reminds me of someone who’s had plastic surgery then sat too close to an electric fire whilst straining really hard for a shit. In fact, she may be living proof that if you pull a funny face and the wind changes, you stay that way forever.
But she prances around as if she is the most attractive female on Earth. Yes, Parker, you did alright in SATC but I think we all know that was more about the writing than your ability to gurn sizzling looks into the camera.

Vauxhall - Eco Flex 2007-08-01 08:32:31 The whole world is going green. Well, except maybe for the US and India and China and really, let’s face it, the UK.
So maybe I should start again, the whole world isn’t going green but we’re doing a bit of recycling.
We love recycling because it makes us feel like we’re saving the planet (a laudable task) but in reality it’s all a sham. If we had to turn our TVs and computers off for an hour every day (between say 7 and 8 at night), to reduce the amount of electricity we use and maybe really help save the planet we’d say “Fuck that!”.
So we’re all pretending that we’ve gone green whilst watching Corrie and writing blogs as the planet chokes (according to some folks).
Vauxhall
have jumped on this pretence in their latest advertising campaign. Their new Eco Flex initiative offers us middle class mugs “…a £1,000 bonus for… …trading in a car, which is then scrapped, in exchange for the lowest emissio
Oral B - Pulsar Toothbrush - The Whole World Has A Pulse 2007-08-03 16:15:50 I thought that after Mitchell and Webb parodied the toothbrush design meeting (what with M&W being as ubiquitous as Little Britain but slightly less trashy) that toothbrush manufacturers and advertisers might have got the message.
As the woman from M&W laments:
“We may have run out of things to tell them they need on their toothbrush.”
But, alas they have not, at least Oral B hasn’t.
They suffer from the same issue that Stanley had with their Stanley Knife: it’s pretty much perfect and everyone has one. So how do they sell more?
Innovation, innovation, innovation.
Oral B decided to make a couple of bits go up and down and add a few bits that go between your teeth:

Hiscox - Something Beautiful 2007-08-08 16:01:40 It’s too not much of an exaggeration to say I was mesmerised the first time I saw this advert.
The tension of the music. The drama of the thunder clouds. The resolution of that tension and drama as the rain drops start to fall. It’s got some lovely camera shots and is really well put together.
“Have you ever stopped to wonder what makes something beautiful? What makes something powerful? What makes something memorable?” the trustworthy voice over man questions.
Maybe turning a little pretentious now, I thought but I’m still with you because I want to know what’s it for? What’s it for?
Then the big reveal - it’s Hiscox Insurance.
“Oh” I thought.
“With Hiscox nearly half the claims we pay would not be covered by a standard insurance policy” the trustworthy voice over man tells us.

RSPCA - Simon Cowell and Fearne Cotton 2007-08-06 15:24:11 Is this a spoof?
I’m fairly certain that it is SimonCowell
doing this advert but he sounds like he doesn’t really give a shit about animals particularly when set against the most enthusiastic person on Earth (”Wow, animal cruelty! That’s great. I mean it’s great that it’s so terrible…” etc ) Fearne Cotton
.
I realise that it is supposed to be in the X-Factor/American Idol style but, again, is it a spoof? Is it really for the RSPCA? I get the feeling it might be new, really short comedy show on E4 (you know how our attention spans are so very low now-a-days)?

Orange - Gigs and Tours 2007-08-10 17:17:26 I, like everyone else, often wondered how the staff at the Early Learning Centre maintain their sanity.
They work in a shop where they are subjected to, not only the sound of mewling children, but to the 21st century’s version of Brian Cant singing some twee little plinky-plonky song about “ABC”s and “123″s from 9 until 5, Monday to Saturday, 10 to 4 on Sundays.
This particular form of torture is so grotesque and inhumane that it was outlawed in China in 1995.
It’s amazing that they don’t all run home from work at night and commit some of the most horrific hate crimes this country has ever seen (what a wonderful tribute to the good character of the ELC staff).
Over the last 6 months or so, when watching the TV, I’ve started to feel a little bit like an Early Learning Centre employee thanks to the jaw-dropping series of adverts with mind-numbingly twee sound tracks.
