I can so easily visualise the media types in their coke-fuelled brainstorming session that produced this concept.

He has freakishly odd balls, apparently…

It’s amazing the number of oddballs in the world.. I thought they always came in pairs….

I hate this advert, I donate alot of money to the Dogs Trust to help prevent such things as this happning to dogs, then they go and show this load of shite giving people the idea to hack there dog to death and smuugle drugs!

What really pisses me off also is the fact they have that pratt from peep show narrating, I cannot stand him or his stupid high pitch voice (has this ‘man’ no balls?)

Showing videos of people taking coke only want to make you try it, and now you knw how with the advert showing you HOW 2! These frank video shouldn’t b shown unless people who want to find out about coke should watch the video not everyone thats watching T.V. I like to change the channel not to give anyone in my family any idea on how to take it! If you want to stop it really stop it cut it out in films/music/TV it all around us now! and getting pushed on to the young ones.

I’m confused is this an anti drug advert or an anti prohibition advert?

I enjoy the spelling of Lassie above me.

Anyway, FOOLS, the whole point of TalK To Frank is not necessarily just to deter us would-be-coke-addicts from ever touching the lethal stuff. It also has a pretty good service on how to use them safely, advising what to do for over-dose etc… It’s not an anti-drugs company but an informative one, to offer support, information etc.

So, yeah, it is a good advert. I like the dog.

Also like this site. Will help me answer application questions of ‘what’s the worst advert’. Cheers.

All the ” talk to frank” adverts are just funny, and I cant imagine in any way they would influence people not to do drugs, in fact they are even funnier if you’re stoned.

I honestly couldn’t care if this ad puts people off doing coke. All I care about is that I got a laugh out of it.
Thus, this Ad is a Bad Ad because it fails at doing it’s intended job… but… but it’s a Good Ad because it’s funny… err…

My brain hurts.

This advert is actually hilarious. For the simple fact the dog is so cute & funny
the line.. “could you spare us a tenner?” “ehh? no! im a dog?!” .. that amused me i must admit. But then again it doesn’t make me want to say no to cocaine? In all honesty I think it makes drugs look good rather than bad? The fact the man in the club says everybody’s doing it Pablo? he just makes it look good I think other than bad. there’s more positives than there is negatives. the only negatives in that is that you don’t know what its cut with & you can go a bit paranoid on it. other than that, this advert makes cocaine look cool

To the drug workers, well done on a job that must be futile. To hand out methadone knowing that these people sell it on for a bag, or a rock, well done. I have been to the drug team with my daughter, and as soon as these people come out of the clinic, they sell it on, they defy urine tests, how many negatives have i seen, but then witnessed symptoms of drug use hours later. Paranoia, auditory hallucinations, delusions, you want to try living with one of these people, it is scary. Having your own daughter barricading herself in the bedroom thinking someone is in the loft, garden convinced that some one has put something about her on facebook, believe me you would not want to live with that. Oh and lets not forget about the self harming which comes as a package with crack. So if any of you youngsters out their think that coke is cool, believe me you haven’t got a clue.Stay away from it.

Advert brilliant but do not think it will stop people from using. I am a mum of a 28yr old drug addict, she was well brought up, had everything, own house, a kid, a good job, but now the gutter is calling. No amount of adverts, whatever will make these people think or stop. If drugs were legalised in a controlled way, what would happen to dealers and profits?

I’m bleeding… yes… yes you are

That line made me chuckle, along with “Could you spare us a tenner? Well.. i’m a dog, obviously”

Let’s face it, if you’re paying your TV licence you’re not on coke. If your parents are paying the TV licence because you still live at home, your a student with no money for coke. And if you are on coke, the last thing that’s going to make you stop taking one of the most highly addictive substances on the planet, is a dog with the voice of David Mitchell.

I like the advert, if you ask me it’s pretty hilarious, but as to whether it will stop kids taking coke, I doubt it!

This is an excellent advert designed to inform children not to use drugs. This is a real life situation for many young innocent people who are going to be faced with drugs.

I myself know a friend who died of an accidental drug overdose and he was 19 years old.

More information available and help lines are needed so YES it is upsetting for people to see the truth about drugs and drug dealers.

The best advert ever made – Rest In Peace Pablo the drug dealers dog
