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.*

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
