Adverts that don't make sense, i.e AO

[XIIILC]

First off, I'm sure AO are a great company, but the advert where the woman is saying about her daughter needing to bake a cake for school fayre and finding her fridge freezer broken annoys the heck out of me. How on earth does that stop her baking? It's not like they're cooking in the fridge. And when she smells the milk, and pulls a face. How the hell long do they think people keep food for?? The fridge breaking doesn't instantly render the food unusable. Even if the food was unusable they could just nip out to buy the ingredients, they don't need the fridge straight away to bake a cake. The advert just doesn't make sense!

I know it shouldn't annoy me this much but it does! Its like a dulux advert a while back where they painted a large room with a teeny tiny can of paint, it would never have done it all >.<

Yes I know, I need a life

The AO ad posses me off too.

Also the Specsavers ad where the elderly couple drive on to an aircraft carrier.

Bad eyesight or not, that's just not gong to happen is it? Are they trying to tell me you can just drive onto an aircraft carrier without anyone noticing?

Nationwide. On your side.

I have to stuff socks in my mouth to stop myself screeching at the sickly stupid woman.

Speaking of energy ads, why is E.ON advertised by a little orange poo?

I hate the car one with the tiny boy looking for something by looking all round the car on his own. Makes me very uneasy seeing such a small child doing that .What if he decided to do the same with his own family car and the driver didnt see him.?

I wonder if different areas have different ads because I haven't seen a lot of these

Speaking of energy ads, why is E.ON advertised by a little orange poo?

I have asked this on Twitter to be told that it doesn't look like a poo, by Corrie Corfield off Radio 4.

It does look like a poo.

Perfume ads. Need I say more?

I had never heard of AO until this thread. Is she maybe making pastry? You have to chill that.

Ah I love that little E. On thing. Does look like a poo though.

Also, do Halifax really offer better deals to nicer customers? How do they judge who is nice enough to deserve the deals? I would be really upset if Halifax told me my life was too worthless for them to give me extra.

The husbands is the hovis one were the houses are trying to catch the kids on bikes. It's like watching actual hackles go up

I'm the same with cleaning ones. Why let you floor get in that state in the first place!

That orang-utan! It drives the dog crackers. He calls it 'that fucking monkey', and he won't stop barking till it's off the screen.

As for the AO ads, I don't notice any deficiencies in the storyline because I'm anticipating the AO! Let's go!' slogan, where they cut off the last 'o' before it's quite finished. Stop it.

This thread has made me realise how few adverts I actually see. I FF if I can, go and make a cup of tea or load the dishwasher, or click onto MN

I love the scarf advert. The full version only. I well up when i see it.

As for the rest i totally agree. The AO ads do have The Apprentice feel about them.

Maybe in the AO advert they live in the wilds of Scotland, 30 miles from the nearest shop. Now she can't make the cake as the milk is off, and possibly the butter too. But it's ok because a new fridge will come tomorrow and the nice AO man will pick up some milk and a shop bought cake en route.

That AO ones irritates me for the same reason.

I hate the Flora one where the wife is blithering on about Ivor's cholesterol levels.

After the magical qualities of Flora he finds out it is down to 5.0. The wife is all emotional and close to tears with gratitude. Ugh.

I'm trying to work out the one for, I think, Vodaphone, where the young guy pulls out his phone to entertain the crying baby on the bus.

But where is that bus going with that particular selection of people on it?

It starts off with the young woman asleep on the shoulder of the young guy- so suggesting that this is a long bus journey. Yet the bus is an old-fashioned one with bench seats that (aside from the fact they are not in circulation any more) you would expect to see around towns and cities, not on long distance routes.

There is also the disapproving older man with the newspaper. He is wearing a suit. What is he doing on a long distance bus route through the countryside? Why is he not on a train or driving?

DH tells me I am overthinking it.

Also, the clip he shows the toddler changes. Sometimes it is Dora...sometimes it is not. I suspect this is due to the channel showing the ad.

We love little poo ad,it totally looks like a cute turd, Mr hankey the Christmas poo anyone? I also get the rage for AO let's go! Grrrrrrrr I used to love the Guinness adverts though the horse/wave one.

E-On is so turd like it has to be a turd. Thought so the first time I saw it. Is it meant to be a gas flame or what? If so, it's not the right colour. Not the right colour for a turd either unless you've been for a curry but ...turd it undoubtedly is.

hah...as if .... whothefuckisSimon ....I'd say 80% of Scottish postcodes are exempt from next day deliveries AND will almost certainly incur an extra special Remote Delivery Surcharge ....oh yes! Fuckers!

But yes, the AO cake ad drives me ccrazy, the cooking for friends one, not so much, but I do think that's I'd decline her invite if she does all the cooking the day before, I don't want reheated leftovers!

And that gas energy thing is SO a dancing Jobbie. A little brown dancing jobbie.

thistle I am so with you about that vodafone advert - where the fuck are these people going?!

Is it O2 with the 'be more dog'? Totally don't get that one at all!

YY to the Halifax ad. "Joe Twat, you're our kind of person"
