to want to throw a brick through my Tv when the iceland advert comes on

[alypaly]

The iceland advert is driving me mad. Its enough to put anyone off xmas with its swelligant,elegant...voice over rubbish.

why does a trifle signify xmas...its stale swiss roll and custard

YADNBU though it's marginally better than the 'five prawn rings' ad from last year.

Lady fingers and custard here, unless it's the banana and caramel version in which case it's ginger cake and custard.

It's truly awful isn't it, a really good advert for not never shopping at Iceland.

what the hell are rocky mountain cakes....lumps of plastic...vom uurggh...Are they trying to brain wash us in between every programme. I really dont want to stay on that channel,but i like the programmes. All the family is cringing now.

Just last night we were talking about how awful the cheesecake on that ad looked which is amazing becauae cheesecake is normally a firm favourtie in our house!. Although I admit my gran got these duck wrap things from there once and they were really nice. No iceland near us so I cant speak with any other experience than that.
OP I find the ad annoying although I find the sainsburys ads just as annoying. I have no idea why they just make me want to turn the telly off (shock horror)

The advert where they attempt to lead us to believe 'celebrities' shop at Iceland?

'Celebrities' like those 'Z' listers on the ad I guess.... but not real celebrities.

you mean they are even on the list

Not at all ... in fact you can come round and chuck a brick through ours as well when you're done.

decided the suggestion to throw a brick at icelands window was less costly,to me

The ads are an institution... although I miss Kerry Katona, seeing the smile draining off Jason Donovan's face leaving him staring into the black abyss of his soul a gingerbread cheesecake cheers me up no end. I give him 6 months before he's in rehab again.

Iceland party food generator

an institution....they are going to put me in one

At least they got rid of KK.

"That's why mums go to Iceland".

That fucking slogan winds me up. Surely that should have gone out with the Ark???

YANBU, alypaly!

OMG its on again anyone got a hangmans noose

i thought marketing people had to come up with new ideas to keep their jobs....obviously Iceland havent got a marketing department of note

But we're all talking about the ad, right?

So perhaps the marketing department know exactly what they're doing

yeah...subliminal advertising......the worst kind...but it still wouldnt make me go there.In fact i think it has the opposite effect.....that sort of advertising definitely doesnt work on me...but i guess it does work on some as its used alot in the states.

cheap advertising,cheapfood,cheap crap

Don't care for the advert but I actually like the food.

Won't someone try the Iceland party food generator?

It made me laugh but perhaps I'm wrong...
