'Come on, more stylish'

I assume its me, but does anyone find themselves wondering how they fall in to the pool at the end?? I mean they are sitting normally and then just fall in - were they on a board that dissppeared or a glass plate??

I think by concentrating on this rather puzzling aspect the rest of the adverts message appears to have passed me by!

freddiefrog · 28/02/2013 13:15

Yes, I've been puzzling over how they do the falling into the pool from lying down thing too.

limitedperiodonly · 28/02/2013 13:20

YANBU but I still hate the Secret Escapes one more.

manticlimactic · 28/02/2013 13:56

I always think about how they make them appear to fall in. Probably some CGI or whatever.

What about the new Bisto advert. I nearly launched my telly out the window by the third 'Aaaaaah!'

The ad that really really pisses me off is the Spec Savers advert where the elderly couple attempt to board a ferry but end up on an aircraft carrier.

I mean just how bloody stupid is that ad, like anyone would let someone accidentally drive onto the deck of an aircraft carrier

KurriKurri · 28/02/2013 14:16

God I hate that advert too, even the name Trivago sets my teeth on edge.

I hate the one with the old couple yakking about some woman who came to their house to flog them some glasses, the old bloke basically fancied the glasses bint, and the old woman says something like 'she certainly gave him a blowjob made his day.

Oh and that awful sponsership by 'The People's Friend' trailer.

I hadn't seen him for seventy years, and now he was coming over to cook me a poached egg. I was so nervous, would he notice my beard, and varicose veins?'

I'm baffled by the horrible music that seems to be the in thing. Awful, dated, late 90s/early 00s sounding AWFULNESS. Centre Parcs. Debenhams. New Mini ad. There are lots. It's like they passed round a Now That's What I Call The Minnellium' CD (©Victoria Wood)

The whole Trivago advert has the feel of one that has been made outside the UK and just branded for the country it's shown in - a bit like a 70's European porno film dubbed into English!

I keep asking myself why she would want to share a hotel room with someone whose hairstyle reminds me of the Yorkshire Ripper and who throws stuff at her when she tries to order room service.

It's a truly hideous advert.

Also agree about the other ads mentioned - all dire.

So glad it's not just me that has spent too long wondering about the fall in pool thing. There are many worse adverts overall though - any market comparison service advert for example.

Plentyoffreetime...I agree with you completely.
So much so, in fact, I probably have a crush on you.
