Direct Line Car Insurance – With Stephen Fry & Paul Merton
4 May 2009 by SilkyIt’s interesting – or at least it is if you’re a loser with too much time on your hands – how someone (I am going to name names here, it’s Paul Merton) who is the God father of UK improv comedy and the king of the witty repost can be so very funny off the cuff and so very terrible at reading from a script.
Two cases in point – those God aweful Hancock remakes and Paul Merton in China. In both of which he proved he has the delivery of a doped up Jose Luis Hernandez when reading his pre-prepared material.
That doesn’t make him a bad man, of course. He’s not Ross Kemp for instance.
But I can’t help but think that everytime he stumbles his way through the supposedly off the cuff “Not very mobile for a phone” Paul Merton dies a little bit inside.
Please don’t do these any more, Paul. Please.
Note: Stephen Fry has always been a whorebag and it seems to have done him no harm so he can keep going.

I so agree. Merton is brilliant on HIGNFY, but awful in al other prgrammes. His trip to the China was dire, embarassing to watch.
As for Fry, yes, he seems to be doing well following his …erm…nervous breakdown of some years ago, but i’ve never known what people see in him. He’s unpleasant to the eye and not fantastic to the ear. He can’t act either.
This advert. is awful, amateurish, wooden, and makes no sense at all.

Said on the 5 May 2009
I so DISagree.
Yeah sure, Merton has been historically hilarious on HIGNFY, but this modern, almost drone-like deference to him as being some kind of comedy saviour is getting a little odd.
Frankly these days i see him do nothing more than continually look non-plussed, be bitter about the fact he has no university education and throw in the occasional one liner or, even better, contrived insult aimed at the guest host.
Ian Hislop is now just as funny as him on that show, and thats worrying.
As for Stephen Fry, im sure the thousands of people suffering from Bi Polar Disorder will really appreciate your depiction of it as some kind of “erm…nervous breakdown’
The truth is the Fact that Stephen Fry is the closest thing we have to our societal racounteur, our Joyce, our Wilde, our Behan. And he is an actor, an author, a screenwriter, a director, a producer, a presenter, an historian, and advocate for several charities and champions the rights of the mentally ill and gay citizens of our country. Yet you write him off because hes ‘unpleasant to the eye’.
How lazy. I bet you LOVE Susan Boyle.
Yeah this advert is fucking horrifying awful, and id rather dangle my feet in a pool of sulphuric acid whilst listening to a McFly album than watch it again, but i think if these two rather remarkable gentleman want to make a few quick bucks from doing this shit, I say let em, but hope they dont make a habit of it.

Isn’t HIGNFY scripted? I’m fairly sure it is, not totally sure, only fairly. I’ve always thought Merton was a bit of a smug tit and this crap advert does nothing to relieve me of that opinion, while I’m at it he’s not that easy on the eye either. He looks better as that shitty little animated mouse/car thing!?

I REALLY HATE this advert and all the other Directline ads! I really don’t want to see the same annoying red phone and mouse every 15 minutes whenever I am watching Channel 4 or ITV.
I saw these ads 6 times today in THREE ad breaks! In one of the ad breaks they had ALL 3 of the Directline ads.
I like Stephen Fry & Paul Merton but I really hate them in these ads. The jokes are just irritating, stupid ones like “Not very mobile for a phone are you?” and “”Would you kindly LEAF the stage?”
I thought they were funny the first few times but hearing them another 50+ times is just beyond ridiculous and really boring.

Said on the 29 May 2009
I don’t understand this advert when he says “not very mobile for a phone” this doesn’t make sense as the phone in question has wheels and can zoom around as much as he likes unlike most “mobile phones” or any other phone which cant move on there own at all. Considering Paul Merton and Stephen Fry are considered to be intelligent people how did this quip escape them that it did not make any sense?

No Paul try again. neeeeooooowww.

And that “Our man Flint” phone from the James Coburn film. 25 years and its really grating. Please try sumfink noooo. God, I’m doing it now.
Finally Direct Line are an insurance company seceded from a bank with its founder taking a £30m fee. Nuff said.

PLEASE, PLEASE give it a rest with the car insurance adverts! They are on every fucking ad break and I just go freaking insane and mute the TV whenever ANY of the Direct Line adverts come on. The latest one with the calendars running around like idiots and ripping the pages off themselves just drive me up the wall. The fact that the small print at the bottom says “Expires 31.09.09″ means I have to endure this crap for another 3 fucking months!
“I’m just in a bit of a days” – That is one of the most stupidest and lamest jokes I have ever heard.

I am also sick to the back teeth of ALL Direct Line adverts, whoever made them and allowed them to be shown 400 times a day should be shot or forced to endure them like the rest of us.
I mean for god sake how many times can you watch the same advert without crawling up the walls! especially the new one with the laptop – that is the worst of the worst.
I would also like to add edit the wording of the adverts
From : “Where not on price comparison websites so we can give you savings”
To: “Where not on price comparison websites becouse where so expensive that you wouldent look twice, so instead we need to to come direct so atleast we can charge you a rediculace price to call our indian call centre”

After my original post above, I can safely say that I have seen this advert AT LEAST 30 or 40 times since then, last night while *trying* to watch a film I was bombarded with this advert every break – which for me was the final breaking point;
So I contacted the ASA to see if I could make a complaint agonised this advert for… well basically Excessive advertising is what I would call it, plus the fact that if I hear “super summer savings celebration” one more time im going to kill my self!
The ASA have got back to me today and apparently there are a lot of people complaining about this advert being shown too many times and the ASA are investigating the matter.
So hopefully this shit will be banned within the next few weeks, however I hope Paul Merton and Stephen Fry are proud of themselves for driving everyone who has been forced to endure this advert 100 times a day crazy now I cannot stand either of there voices.

Paul Merton & Stephen Fry have sold their souls to w*nk advertising cause their comic careers apparently need a financial boost of late, but Direct Line have always been c*nts with their in-yer-face satanic jingles and dire scripts / telephone mascots on wheels etc, c*nts.

I have found the worst channels to watch for this advert are ITV 1, ITV 2, SKY 1, SKY 2 and SKY 3 (on the sky channels its almost unbearable)
ARGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot believe the amount of times this advert has been shown, surely their has to be a limit to the amount of times they will broadcast this bollocks?

Something unbelievable happened today, the same Direct Line advert was on FOUR times in just 6 fucking minutes! WHAT THE HELL?!
Direct Line are clearly not getting the message. I don’t want to buy any of your shit so stop shoving your crap ads in my face every FUCKING AD BREAK!! I have probably seen the same shit about 4,000 fucking times!
