August’s TV’s Worst Advert Award
3 September 2007 by SilkySorry for the delay on this month’s TV’s Worst Advert Award, I’ve been on a 3 day retreat to pay tribute to the life and death of the Princess of Wales. And let me tell you, I had a whale of a time in Paris. Dossing at the Ritz then bazzing it up round the Peripherique. With a mournful heart though, of course.
Anyway, I’m back so on with the show.
Thanks again to those that submitted adverts this month. If I haven’t got round to writing them up yet, I promise I will do my best to get them published in the next few days.
As August marks the 6 month anniversary of this blog I thought that I’d give a bit of link love back to some kind soles that link to this here blog:
- If you’re looking for top-notch commentary on the latest pop culture events in the UK then look no further then Dave P’s Pop Buzz UK.
- Although if you do decide to look on step further, Wodge also writes an excellent pop culture blog at Why Did I Go Wrong…?.
Right, here’s the top 5 for August:
- Head and Shoulders – Everyone Knows a Bloke Like Mickey
- Orange – Gigs and Tours
- Dulco Ease
- Vauxhall – Eco Flex
- Picture Loans – Dad’s Found Your Scooter
Good to see that obnoxious, smug prick Mickey straight in at the top of the chart. Congratulations to Head and Shoulders for their win this month.
Shameless Self-promotion

Only six months? Feels like this has been a part of me forever.
Nice to see that the two ads that have received my most vitriolic responses are in the top five.
Here’s my Christmas ad wish:
Mickey, taking a break from being a big girl’s blouse, goes up north to try out Newcastle’s famous nightclub scene where he hits on a sexy mother of two who has severe financial problems. After showing her a couple of his famed looks (for every occasion) he takes her back to his B&B for a bit of cuddly puppy when her husband storms into the room and sticks a scooter right up his…Merry Christmas.
Bliss.

Hi, could you possibly – PLEASE – remove the oxygen “too busy to breathe” advert from the site, or set it so it pauses at the start? Every time I come on here I am asked the same inane question and have to go searching for a pause button before I read anything

Hi Anon, I have removed the advert. You are quite right, it was terribly annoying.
Christmas, Mike? Give us a chance, it’s still only September

It’s a Christmas wish. That gives the advertising agency three months to get the ad to our TV screens -which judging by the quality of most ads should be more than enough. Admittedly they will have to drag Mickey away from his new job as Take That’s image consultant but even so…
