DFS – Nickleback Rockstar Part II
6 August 2008 by SilkyFollowing on from the great DFS – Nickleback crap off we had last month, here is the advert that you voted the most ear-bleedingly, eyeball poppingly bad of the two DFS puked up on our screens.
Enjoy!

I hate to see mega squares, frumps and generally uncool types miming to rock on telly. The ad makes me cringe

i hate DFS adverts all together, they always have a sale, like every week at this point, it’s stupid. & now they have put a song which has been over played and getting annoying makes them ten times more annoying and stupid than before hand

Like anyone could even tell the difference between one Nickleback song and another. They all sound the same. I’ve never liked DFS or Nickleback and dislike them even more now.

Hav you noticed how the sofas are out of scale with the hilarious mimers? Every time this comes on, I like to imagine the hilarious mimer having to jump up and scramble onto the settee in the manner of a 2 year old child. I wouldn’t have thought it beyond the wit of man to get the hilarious mimers to actually do their hilarious mime in front of the actual sofa!! Or perhaps the sofa had to be protected for it’s own safety……

I see the free publicity on digitalspy has made a difference to the top 10 then…

Yes Jen, I can’t help but think the results of this month’s award might be influenced somewhat by the Digital Spy readers.
“Hello” to them by the way!

I love to ‘splash out’ on a DFS Sofa. Its the only way to do it justice!!

If you could afford the houses they use as a backdrop in these adverts, you wouldn’t compliment it with a sawdust stuffed sofa from one of these places.

But just imagine how ecstatic you’ll be a year into the deal… Your rock ‘n’ roll sofa has fallen apart from constant use by your hard-partying friends and you then have to commence four years of paying for the damn thing.

omfg i hate this advert, theyre both as shit as each other. what i cant fucking stand is how out of sync and exergerated the stupid women are when they mime along to the damn lyrics. And what really fucks me off the most is how I cant get the fucking song out of my damn head, even when im sleeping its in there and wont fucking leave !!!!!!!
Watching these clips have just made me really angry all over again.

Adverts don’t get as annoying as this.
Seriously, whoever thought of joining that song with a furniture add should be shot several times in the head.
Not only is the song completely crap, but buying sofa’s will not make you a fucking Rockstar.
The singer of Nickleback should gargle acid next time he attempts another commercial.

When this add comes on I immediately have to scramble for the mute button before I melt into an oozing gooey mess of imported trite American culture I dont find funny, warm or even cosy, just silly irritating American teenage angst and and overtly average American voice singing numpty guitar rock songs that strike no relevance or even illicit the slightest bit of fun in my life I can identify with.. FUCKING DFS… I will never stap a foot in your “sun newspaper furniture fest” ever..
Im going to buy a working beaten up TV and when the advert comes on I will destroy the TV screen with a swift Brick.. ahh.. thats better!…

How many bloody sofas do the people of this sad country need? My mum and dad saved for years then made it last until it fell apart. Now its the craze to buy new furniture every couple of years. How sad is that. We get what we deserve!

If I hear that bleeding DFS advert on TV once more I swear to God I will put a brick through the TV screen…. Lets rewind and play that again…. If I hear that bleeding DFS advert on TV once more I sweear to God I will put a brick through the TV screen….Am I missing something here…?? DFS SCL and all the rest… Is there some sort of underground sexual fettish in Britian that involves sofas???? If so I am missing something huge… What to the people of Brititain do with these millions of bloody soffas they can buy at endless sales, interest free and with nothing to pay for a year and free delivery ????. I can only guess there is some sort of black hole containing anti matter where they all end up. If not I guess this small island is likely to sink into the North sea with the weight of these dm things!!! Personally I know what I would like to tdp with the next DFS sofa I see on TV and that is shuv it right up the rear end of that boring sod who does the voiceover.. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE HELP SOMEONE PLEAS!!!! There should be a government health warning on this bloody compnay !!

Afer only 2 weeks of living in the “Dillon ” era I already want that bleedin family to burn in the everlasting fires of hell and damnation and to spend the rest of eternity in torment spending their time buying sofas and having to listen to the creepy little sod who is still doing the voiceovers. .

God the idea of seeing the “Dillons” on a 42″ plasma screen. Iis more than I can bear. Especially since they are on every time you turn your head. Anyone who is influenced by the purile shite DFS have been shoving down our throats over the last 3 decades !!!!! must be mentally deficient and should be sectioned.
I’m at the point where when I have to pass within 2 miles of a DFS store I turn into the Hulk!!
I am not a violent guy, but something in these DFS adds turns me from a normal rational human being into a poetntially phsychopathic maniac who has an overwhelming desire to join a devil worshipping cult so as to invoke satanic influences aginst anybody and anything associated with BLOODY DFS

OMG the DFS adverts. all of them are terrible, the rack, the thumb screws and Chinese water torture combined.
My son’s fiancee’s family all went off to DFS a while ago, they reported back, in great disappointment, that either the adverts. employ vertically challenged people, or DFS makes specially-huge sofas for the purpose of the adverts.
In other words, the sofas, though closely resembling those enjoyed by the Dillons, were miniscule.
Speaking of the Dillons, it’s driving me mad-’meet the Dillons!’ (like we have a choice) ‘She said’ ‘He said’ ‘Grandma said’ noooooooooooooo
