January’s TV’s Worst Advert Award!
31 January 2008 by Silky
Well, the new year certainly hasn’t bought any better adverts, has it?
Another pretty terrible crop have appeared: the bizarre Safestyle UK advert with Frank Sidebottom, the patronising as hell SMA Dad’s Promise advert and, my current favourite bad ad, the latest Slim Fast advert! Its tootie, fruity, kick you in the face with its booty lyrics have surely made it stick in peoples’ minds (which, for Slim Fast, will mean it’s a success) but, for the saner members of society, it’s an abomination.
Thankfully, you’ve voted Slim Fast into the top 10 although it’s not made it into this month’s top 5:
- Picture Loans - Dad’s Found Your Scooter
- The Gadget Help Line
- Halifax
- Glade - Touch and Fresh It’s All Gone
- Dulco Ease
Yep, Picture Loans is back on top with the rest of the top 5 looking pretty similar to last month.
Want to change it? Get voting.
More Shameless Self Promotion
Just another quick thanks to the Guardian and Johnny Dee for featuring TWA in the Guide earlier this month. You’ll be gald to know that fame hasn’t changed me except, obviously, I do get my man to type out these posts for me now whilst I recline on the chaise longue eating freshly peeled grapes etc.
No, really, I do.
Having a Laugh?
TWA is nominated in the Humour (or “Humor” as those Septics spell it) category at the Bloggers Choice Awards. See:
Clicking that button above will cast a vote for TWA. And if I get enough votes I become “King of the Humo(u)r-based Internet” (or something) and I promise to make you all my Princes/Princesses of the Humo(u)r-based Internet if I do make it.
The only down-side of clicking that button is you have to register in order for your vote to count, but if you were really a TWA fan that would be a small price to pay, wouldn’t it? Or do you not want to be a Prince/Princess of the Humo(u)r-based Internet?
Click it. Click it. Click it. CLICK IT.
Submit a Bad Ad
Thanks to all those that submitted a bad ad this month. I’m trying to get round to putting them on the blog but I am very, very lazy.
I do appreciate you contributions though, so…
Don’t forget that you can also join in the hate by submitting a UK TV advert that really gets on your Glade Flameless Candle.
Ta, Silky.
