  I like this one; though not as much as the imagery of a month old turd in a car park!

  Thanks for that Mike.

  I’ve actually had the misfortune of seeing a turd in a car park; I can’t verify it’s age though. What’s worse though, is I forgot to take my payment ticket with me, so ended up having to walk past the offending item 4 times.

  Some people truly make you glad to be alive…

  This sucks. I read the original post during breakfast and your reply just before dinner.

  For some reason I’m not hungry any more

  Sorry to hear that Mike.

  You know what they say though, timing is the secret to good comedy. It’s just a shame the timing has been so bad on this one…

  Hey Lhouraii, after a little bit of digging in Google I found this:

  M & C Saatchi did the advert. Oooh fancy!

  M & C Saatchi?

  In my day it used to be Saatchi & Saatchi. Those were the days:
  Ad agency + Tory party = election success.

  PS. Lack of support for this being a bad ad I notice.

  Hi there. I wassearching the web to confirm I was right about the Churchill voice. I was; past tense. Ha ha ha. I never liked Vic. He was an extra special knob when he was on a cooking show, I think a Gordon Ramsay one and asked for a fried egg. He didn’t look clever, he didn’t look rebellious, he just looked like an ingrate. So, he was himself then.

  I also agree. As adverts go, the MFI one is abhorrent. You don’t watch it and feel that aspirational value that adverts should evoke. It is cynical and irksome.

  Keep up the good work. Not one article you have written have I disagreed with, rather I’ve nodded along, just like the Churchill dog… “Oh yes!”

  Hahahaha thanks Silky:)

  May I ask, if anyone else here REALLY like EXTREMELY dislikes the M&S advert?? – The voice in it – ARGH!!

• Silky

  Give it time, Mike. People will watch, people will hate, and people will vote. It will happen… I too thought they were called Saatchi & Saatchi but maybe they’ve been re-branded?

  Thanks for the comment, mooch. I grew up watching Vic on TV and always have time for him (I agree, he did come across as a knob on the Ramsay programme), but those adverts… “Oh no!”. I appreciate your kind words too.

  No problems, Lhouraii. What do I think about the M&S adverts? They aren’t just adverts, they’re the most annoying adverts on TV.

  Hey Lhouraii, yeah, you’ve used it right. Put the address of the website that you want your name to link to. Using your MySpace page is just fine and groovy.

  But dysfunctional families need kitchens too though!

  Yay ace, thanks again Silky:)

  Why don’t you use it too?? Or do you not have a MySpace??

• Silky

  

  Said on the 12 July 2007

  Hey Wodge, yeah I suppose when not eating a family bucket from KFC dysfunctional families need kitchens too

  Lhouraii, TVs Worst Adverts has it’s own MySpace page which I heartlessly neglect:

  http://www.myspace.com/tvs_worst_adverts

  When commenting sites other than this one I always link back to here just like you are to your MySpace page.

  Have you seen their redone version of this (think it is in Spanish?) I think its a direct answer to this site

• Silky

  

  Said on the 27 July 2007

  Hello Anon, no I haven’t seen the redone version, could you post a link if you find one. Cheers.

  Like many people I suspect, I just want to switch over when this ad comes on, which I don’t think was MFI’s or the ad agency’s intention. Who wants to listen to families shouting at each other? It’s valid in a drama, but in an advert it’s just very annoying.
