I can’t stand adverts and those are among the worse in my opinion.

[Raeturbo]

I liked the Charlie says safety ad, the Robinson golliwog jam ad, the pg tips you hum it I’ll play it, the we share wagon wheels, oh no we don’t, Texan bar sure is a mighty chew, milky bar kid, can you see that man waving to us( drowning safety ad),  room for two mellor light, hurry for a curry, but I suppose,…the times they are a changing.

The only one I like is the Cadbury drumming Gorilla, adverts are a pain in the arse.

As you're still talking about them, they have successfully done their job.

Hardly , what a very strange comment..😂

Years later, just mentioning an advert makes you remember the product. That's exactly what it was designed to do. The intention is that when you're standing in front of a shelf of whatevers, you'll be influenced enough to buy theirs.


It doesn't always work that way, because some people are so irritated by adverts they'll deliberately not buy that product. Effective advertising companies spend a lot of time and money identifying such people. It's the real reason for Google's existence, and is why organisations like Twitter are worth so much money when their visible products are so banal.

Cadburys Flake
Nescafe
Black Magic

These were some of the old favourite adverts  a few years ago.

[Mr Skrunts]

I like the Smash advert

[Mr Skrunts]

The Lynx adverts were good

Apparently the creator of them went on to win quite a few awards

[STEMO]

The one that amuses me at the moment is the one where there's a ring at the door and the house is in shit state. The rush to clean up is very funny but, guess what? I can't remember what the ad is for 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

About 70% of people in the adverts don't have white skin. Every white man or woman must have a black partner. It's the law.

[ronnyd]

When the adverts start the mute button is deployed.

Same here.     The adverts blare out at a ridiculously loud volume    so I mute them as I’m not interested anyway.

[Mr Skrunts]

I record everything, so when the adverts appear I just fast forward

Thats 1 good thing about the BBC - no adverts.

I’d disagree. When I did watch them, way back when the tv people were capable of broadcasting adverts at the same volume as the program I had been watching, I remember tunes and amusing dialogue from the odd few adverts but have absolutely no idea what they are advertising. The advertisement itself goes right over my head. Amongst others, I can recall one old advert uses a tune from Enigma - Return to innocence and another uses a gorilla drumming but I’ve absolutely no idea what they are advertising and have zero interest in knowing either.

There is nothing good about the BBC, it needs to go.

I notice every time, most people don't. That's how brainwashing works.

You're still wrong I remember the Gorilla ..

70% is awfully close to the 64.8% of statistics that are made up on the spot

[Raeturbo]

Yes ads are most definitely used to make it appear the Uk has at least 50% ethnic minorities and queer folk, or possibly more, propaganda at full tilt.

Exactly.     As I posted, we remember a tune or something else significant but that doesn’t mean we associate it with a product.

Spot on my friend, I detest people trying to tell me otherwise.
