Verisure alarm adverts

[fixlet]

Who signed them off? They're worse than the over 50s life insurance adverts!

We're here to protect

I hate it that when the woman speak the men just sit there nodding like muppets and vice versa. It's as if they can't have both sexes speaking on the same advert. Makes me want to punch the telly.

We should get an alarm.

It’s very ‘we don’t have to pay an agency to do this, let’s film it in-house’

It’s like the brief was “let’s find the shittest actors humanly possible”

Haha... I'm so glad it's not just me.

When the woman says 'it's getting dark so early these days' with the tone implying that its someones fault arrggghh, its the because the clocks have changed you daft bint!

You've remembered the product though...

Yes, I remember the product, I have for years though actively avoided buying products whose advertising has pissed me off, You will never find Oral B in my bathroom, or 'no more mr nice baby' fairy liquid in my kitchen and I will never buy a fucking Dormeo mattress and as for perfume and over 50s life insurance and funeral plans, they can all fuck off aswell!

Me too 😂

"They came in through the back garden"
"We need an alarm"
"I'll get on to it straight away"
No getting quotes or umming and ahhing over the cost or asking can we afford it.🙄

I don't like the way they prey on people's fears. I guess that's the point isn't it but I still hate it.

their alarms are extortionate as well

The nodding husbands always get to me.

And the word “burgled” and the way it is said.

I always think the way the couple say "we set it every time we go out", seems like a passive aggressive warning to the other couple not to try and rob them.

The first time I saw the advert, where they'd been broken into, it came across as if Verisure had broken in as a way to drum up business.

The guy who comes to fit ("we are hear to protect") looks like he is useless.

"veri-reassuring"

Only two people are allowed to speak. The others just smile and nod.

Ha ha, I auditioned for this and didn't get it. I've not seen the finished ad, but it sounds like not booking was a good thing!!

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal How much would someone get paid for acting in an ad like this?

They can pay thousands, @Flapjacker48 , adverts are very lucrative. I remember this one involved filming abroad in an interesting location, so I was quite keen to get it!

I find them very reassuring.

An apprentice-style shite advert.

I find them that annoying that no matter what I'll never use them
