April’s TV’s Worst Advert Award!
April 30th, 2008
Blimey!
There goes another month in shit advert land.
Although it has been a month of some advertising abominations, it has also been a month of joy with the return of everyone’s favourite high-waist banded, villa selling, uber-Spaniard Jose Luis Hernández from Polaris World.
Hoorah!
And, on top of Jose’s return we seem to have final bade “good riddance” to tight-skinned doer of made-up job and discoverer of all things bullshit Nadine Baggott.
Although, if I’m honest, I am a little sad to see her go. After all it’s one less person to get in a rage about.
Now, who’s this Eve Cameron fellow…
Ooh, and it looks as if we’ve seen the last of Howard from the Halifax adverts.
Which is a massive shame because after 8 years of performing, in essence, song rape by making popular ditties be about interest rates those adverts were finally growing on me…
And finally, it’s been a bumper year for complaints about adverts.
This frankly amazes me. I mean, what sort of idiot would complain about the quality of adverts?
April’s Top 5 Bad Ads
And so to this month’s idiocy. Here’s the top 5:
- Picture Loans - Dad’s Found Your Scooter
- Picture Loans - An Adult Conversation
- Moonpig
- The Gadget Helpline
- Injury Lawyers 4 U - Billy Murray
Ironically, the Halifax is out of the top 5 for the first time in ages. They’ve been replaced by Billy Murray and his Injury Lawyers 4 U advert.
Maybe it was karma.
Maybe it was destiny.
Maybe they should sue.
Who knows.
Same time, next month?
