May’s TV’s Worst Advert Award

31 May 2008 by Silky

TWA Worst Advert Award! Crickey!

Another month flies by and it’s been a good one.

It’s a month that has seen what I think could well be a long running favourite here at TWA, Acorn Stair Lifts.

It features poor little witless Jimmy.

Just sat there trying to use a stairlift but he’s going nowhere. Because he’s sat on a stool, tied to a bannister with a scarf, that he’s trying to make it go up and down with the remote for the tele.

Poor, poor, little witless Jimmy.

The Acorn entry in TWA also broke the news that Mou was resigning from Acorn. Now, I’m not sure how directly this advert affected his decision to resign but, as we’re all nice boys and girls, let’s wish him the best of luck in the future. Unless he finds work with Picture obviously.

Anyway, here’s the voting this month:

So, moving as effortlessly as one of their very own stairlifts, Acorn debut at the top of the charts.

Well done Acorn for being so very shit at adverts.

We salute you.

Until next month, tut ta.

A worthy candidate, down there at the bottom of the advertising dungheap. It’s the insult to the intellegence that gets me, they have to come up with a comforting everyday scenario, grandad, son and grandson all in perfect harmony, no mention of “a fucking stairlift, wont that depreciate the value of of the property/ my inhertitance” (this shows how drugs are rife in the advertising world, complete departure from reality) instead of just saying “if you are a decrepit old fart our stairlift will get you up the stairs, though not before you’ve shat yourself, they’re not that fast, so they come with free incontinence pants.”

Ha! Cheers for that. And if anyone out there needs help directing any TV adverts in the future, you know where to find me
