The biggest cocks in advertising

[Jon-of-arc]

never watched this Brooker chap before.
love his commentary.

You tube his name. I strongly reccomend the "my super sweet 16" thing, and then doing all the shows from start to finsih (xthemusic has put them all up, but as its utube you have to do them in 10 min slots....)

his guardian column is also the one good reason to buy the guardian (except you can get it online, so save yourself the money....)

Has some books and some other funny shit that he has done. Was also Chris Morris' partner on Nathan Barley (which, and I appreciate there are various views on this, was SHIT...)

That advert is so annoying, it's just three blokes bullying some poor bastard who's trying to have a shave in peace. OK, whoop de fucking do you people are good at playing with your balls but you get paid enough for that already without having to attack random members of the public to sell shitty razors

Those adverts are really horrible. I can imagine them being on an endless loop in Hiltons worldwide. The level of smarm employed is despicable.

But it doesn't make me as sick as the "rockstar" DFS ads. They make my teeth itch.

That Gillette ad fails at so many levels... Out of the 3 'superstars' only one remains the best at his game (and one of the others was never the top dog in the first place).

What the ad shows as well is that many blokes are quite happy with the results of the cheaper Match-3 blade and can't be arsed paying exhobitant amounts of money for a fancy million-blade vibrating razor. So fuck you Gillette. I hope you're not losing too much money from failed projected sales

(no doubt they'll soon discontinue the Match-3 model if those pesky customers don't follow the advice of Woods & co.).

Incidentally I'm surprised by the ausence of the infamous Frosties ad with the annoying kid from hell. Or perhaps 'cock' not is the appropriate term for him.

No he got him.

Now for those of you who have never seen it.



7 minute chainsaw assault on rolling news. Astonishing .

Damn right!

The last thing I'd want, while holding sharp blades to my face, is for some poncy, overpaid sportsman kicking a ball around in the same room.

He's not that big, but has Gary Herbert ever done any advertising?

(He's the one on the right.)

I'll tell ya who the ultimate biggest cocks in advertising are: The fucking supermarkets

I know, let's put all our prices up so everyone's struggling and then run a load of adverts profiteering off the credit crunch while simultaneously encouraging our customers to spend more money than they otherwise would have so they can think they're saving money, when in fact, it's making the situation a whole lot worse. Utter utter cuntbags

The biggest cock in advertising is Penelope Cruz - who advertised 'because-i'm-worth-it' mascara that was really great....by wearing false eyelashes in the advert.

Scum.

Yeah this is not only very funny, but also pretty relevant. Rolling news is dumbing down all news on the telly, its just utter shite.

 

[kyser_soze]

As someone who used to be a media buyer, it's all painfully true, especially the bit about having every media owner kiss your ass

Bad yes, but she's nowhere near the irritation caused by Andi McDowell. Who the fuck is she? Has she been in anything apart from Four Weddings and crap beauty ads?

DA DA DA! DA RA RA DA!

Excellent tune on that video, I perk up immediately when I hear it. To my delight i found that someone had edited this bit from the aspirational telly piece for use as a video response. It's the only one you'll ever need to use for right cunts:
