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 can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
