View Full Version : What would adds really say?
Ouch!

I just noticed something on the hellovision today. Ever notice how adds seem to somewhat lie? Like they say "Are you up to your eyes in Debt? Well call Jimmy's Money Depot! We'll make all your existing debts into one low affordable payment!!"
Im sure you do....
Well i just thought it would be funny if for once it said something like:
"Are you up to your eyes in debt? Did you borrow lots of money and spend it on drugs? Well now you're f****d! But don't worry! Call Jimmy's Illegal Money Laundering Service! We'll clean your clothes, and your debt! All with one single payment in unmarked £20 bills!"
anyone else think that? or what would your add say?

mine would say
"look at this shiny car its great AC, turbo and a V8 engine but these are all optional extras you even have to pay more for the shiny paint we say it costs £7,999 but thats a car without an engine if you want this one you have to pay at least 4 times that amount"
heh
Ouch!

Ages ago I made a mental list of loads of adverts that lie, but unfortunately I can't remeber a single one. Bums.
Oh, there was one Skipton Building Society radio ad that suggested you should give them your money SOLELY because the manager's name was P. Schofield. Maybe they should have stated some good reasons? You know, like how their building society is better than everyone else's?

Maybe they had a three-year-old advertising department.

DFS sale MUST END SOON - we have to start our next sale straight after it. Actually we never have a sale, we just confuse you all by always saying we have a sale, this way we don't really need to ever reduce our prices.

I thought about doing some kind of spoof adverts for my website ages ago. I never got round to it.
However… ads do clearly lie
That Marks and Spencer one… with the laydee doing that ‘sexy’ voice telling us how lovely M & S food is.
What they should really say … “spend £35 at marks and spencers and we’ll give you this free cake. However, we’re too expensive, and even with the extra free cake, you’ve still paid more than you would have at Sainsbury’s. But my sexy voice has made you think of me rolling about in nothing but mash, and you’ve creamed your pants. I used to be Ballykissangel, dontcha know”

Erm I think adds would really say :
"Why don't we use our advanced AI for once, instead of going for the guy who keeps 'roaring' at us who has massive plate armour and we dont really have a chance against, however much he is aggroing us, lets go for that cloth wearing healer who is alone over there in the corner. We have a much better statistical chance against him if we all gang up."

Roffle, I was going to do that, but looks like you got in here before me :)
I guess credit card adverts always sound a bit dumb to me:
"Try out new, low-hassle [insert name of credit card here] card, with 0% APR for the first three months, after which point we jack up the rate tenfold to make up for our lack of profits."

except hat jacking 0% APR up would still be 0%

Shocking news. We're about to close and ALL our stock MUST be taken RIGHT NOW with a 20% DISCOUNT OFF EVERYTHING YOU NEED!

The Renault adverts: "As you can see, our designers don't do any work, they spend all day staring out the window at the backsides of the ladies walking past. One of them started to sketch a backside when the supervisor walked past and the designer hurriedly converted the sketch into a concept drawing of a car. The car has now entered production and because we pipe cannabis through Marketing's air-con system they thought it would be a good idea to point out that our car looks like a backside. Hence this advert. Enjoy."

Has anyone heard the McDonald's radio ads? They basically point out many times that their sandwiches are "freshly made".
Now I'm sorry, but if I pulled some year old bread from out of my garage, some moudly ham and fermenting butter, if I then proceeded to make a sandwich with it it'd still be freshly made non? It's not a fresh sandwich, but I just made it. So it's made freshly.
