Annoying TV Adverts

Bloody hate Bond films. All you hear at the moment is Bond this, bond that! I know, I know, there is a Bond film coming out, but still, it seems to have push Star Wars into the background somewhat!!!

Also my 13 year old has been singing all different Bond themes, including the new one… Well humming not singing!

This sounds a little points of view like, but still ha ha.

This morning on GMTV (or whatever the fuck it’s called) they had an interview with Daniel Craig, and written below his name was ‘Some of Sceptre’s scenes were filmed in Mexico’, as if that was important. Dicks.

Fk yeah, I turned on the TV and there was some kind of action scene happening, and I immediately thought, Jeez, this is really shitty, it looks like a Bond film. And then it turned out to be advert for Bond film.

Bond films are fucking terrible! I wouldn’t mind that, they can be terrible if they want, but ppl keep tricking me into watching them! They r like, srs bro, the new one with Daniel Craig called Casino Royale is really good, honest! But it weren’t. It was fucking terrible. And then the exact same thing happened last year or whenever it was the one where Judi Dench died come out.

If they want to make a good bond film they should follow these advices:

  1. Set it in the 60s FFS

  2. Make it so bond is gay. The world is desperate for an openly homosex action hero IMO.

  3. Make it so none of the gadgets work properly, so it can be more realistic re: british manufacturing. But not in a funny way. We don’t want to be Austin Powers.

  4. Make it so he is much more baddass & ultraviolent. When he is doing i.e. Car Chase through Cairo or whatever, we should see him mowing down pedestrians and small children etc. And when i.e. some bird at the hotel bar tries to engage him in witty banter he should immediately punch her full in the face.

  5. Make it so the main supervillan is an ex-lover of Bond’s. This will charge the torture scene with supersexy tension. Probably, when Hector Blohard is applying the nipple clamps, James Bond will get boner which we will see clearly through his Speedos.

  6. Let me write the script for you if ur not sure i would do +1 gr8 job blockbuster!

What are these TV adverts?

As long as it’s released in 15 minute episodes.

Coca Cola and all their cheesy isn’t the world lovely and we all sing together type ones. When they allow bottling plants to bleed places dry and allow paramilitaries to shoot workers in their factories.

Anything that is so clearly made on the cheap to be shown in multiple territories around the world, and is then so badly dubbed afterwards that it makes everyone look like characters from Monkey or The Water Margin.

I agree, Bletch.

So you’re watching an American adaptation of an Israeli show, dubbed as propagandain some circles, racistin others, and you’re worried about James fucking Bond being hawked to you?

Shape up, intiniki, or it’ll be the re-education camp for you.

Crappy mobile game ads…

If we’re expanding this to other media, I can definitely play.

The amount of advertising on the net is shocking, and yep, mobile games are the worst. I only tend to get paid stuff for that reason, and jip an app off if it’s too invasive.

meh, I was referring to tv ads for games. But whatevs, I guess.

I was mostly taking the piss out of m’self, like I do. That said, our Korean/Japanese ads are brilliant. Obviously I had less than fuck all to do with them.

Bah. I only really watch live sport on TV these days, and even then it’s only football, and I’ll pause most of the ads for half time. I wonder if we’ll be one of the last generations talking about TV advertising. Back in the 1980s, with three or four channels, and not much as many competing bits of tech, advertisers knew they were going to reach big audiences.

Less people are watching broadcast TV, and less often. The subscription model is increasingly looking like the best choice for both sides. HBO and BBC have consistently produced good stuff. Some of the original Netflix shows have been excellent; YouTube has long known how to monetise the smaller stuff.

I dunno. Maybe there is always going to be someone happy to veg out in front of a tube for hours on end, and certainly enough people still do now, but we already live in a time where people are less culturally connected to that box. When Google can bung a targeted advert to the viewer, is broadcast advertising that viable?

One of the reasons that advertising never got the (ahem) heights it reached in the US is because the BBC is a universal thing that doesn’t show adverts. I know you can argue that the US had HBO, but it’s more of a premium thing and lacks the universality. Broadcast supported telly, particularly scripted stuff, now has to compete with some very reasonable subscription services (standard Netflix is cheaper than a TV licence) and it’s compromised on a number of fronts.

I wasn’t really watching to be fair. I gave up on Homeland once Brodie was dead.

I definately wont be buying an Aston Martin! :wink:

For me any “woman’s products” ad that features blue dye to demonstate absorbency. You’d think woman were squids!

Star wars cheese strings. Or the star wars subway one. I am sure there will be more star wars items to buy.
