O2 Broadband – Happy Homes
24 May 2008 by SilkyI can’t help but feel that if anybody actually thinks that their broadband is the reason their home is unhappy they need to be taken into care for their own safety.
Because, as any sane person knows, the things that actually make your home unhappy are:
- Light Switches
- Duvets
- Extension Cables
- Hair Scrunchies
- Tea Towels
Broadband doesn’t even feature on the list, the idiots.
So come on O2, starting talking some sense!

No, Jonny! Have you gone mental?
Rawplugs is number 7.
Number 6 is Fuzzy Felt.

It breaks my heart that people forget skirting boards? Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Don’t worry Mike, skirting board squeezes in the top 10 at 10.

This is as bad as the Ocean long grass tripe, you improve the happiness of your home by getting O2 Broadband, sure you do, you can get the same effect from recreational drugs, whoa man drop some acid and chill out, look the house is smiling at me!

My house is unhappy to be associated with O2. I’ve told it- “You’re my house, you don’t have a great gurning facade, you’re neat and tidy, with no random teeth”. But it IS unhappy. And now so am I

This advert is in no way similar to that Sainsbury’s one form about 6 months ago for, CMIIW, home insurance, where a CGI slumbering house was woken up and made to be happy simply by the addition of a fiancial product. The ad industry seems to be one massive circle wank at times. Like the whole ‘serious fun’ concept that has been used on about 800 different car adverts e.g.
Renault Laguna – Serious Playtime.
Peugeot 407 – Playtime is over.
Renault Twingo – Serious Fun.
Jameson Irish Whiskey – Seriously Playful.
I’m sure there were more but I can’t think of them.

Right…..where to start???
They are going on about how some BB providers are actually gash and they don’t give a good service….o2 however do, so it makes you happy they are offering BB that ACTUALLY works.
Sounds like I am backing up the company due to me working for them, but it is actually true. However, I still prefer my Virgin Media 20MB cable line
