Oh this advert has got me sooo mad that I need to vent somewhe here...


My sister and I had always shared this thing for analysing adverts. Is this weird, or do you find yourself critiquing adverts or discussing what makes a good/bad advert?


At the moment I am currently quite angry about the Sugar Puffs advert.

I love the Mighty Boosh and all of its weird genius. And I've turned on the tv to see the Sugar Puffs have done the most pathetic rip-off in the attempt to be "on the pulse" of what's funny. Aww it's so bad I had to leave the room before I shouted and got angry! (6)


Seriously, who was the cretin who stood up in the ideas meeting andput that shambolic idea forward - they need a good slap!



Ahhhhhh... feel all better now. Thanks guyz >:D<

Oh and I found another one last night that was more disgusting than anything else.


Has anyone seen that Crunchy Nut advert where the woman is sitting in the car with a box of cereal and milk.

(I think it's actually and old advert)


And then she pours the milk in and then shovels it into her mouth!


Oh, it's so disgusting! Again - it's one of those where I get so embarrassed and disgusted that I have to leave the room.


Also, Mr VBC pointed out, where can you buy a glass pint of milk these days? (like in the Cornflake advert)

Of course the mighty John Cooper-Clarke did a few Sugar Puffs ads some time back. It may have been in the throes of his narcotic phase, but what the flip, I bet his motives were pure (he needed the money) and whoever suggested him at whatever ad agency, I say give that man a cigar. Just for once I'll resist my normal Hicksian tendency to suggest that he deserves to die.

The Mighty Boosh? Not watched it yet. I've a feeling in my water I won't like it.*

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
