The BT broadband adverts- with Kris Marshall from My Family

[5t3IIa]

Simply because it would seem like a dilemma of a modern age?
Bang on trend!

Yummy Mummy - still looks fit: check
Two kids one of each: check
Nice modern house all painted white: check

It could almost be an ITV drama- imagine him taking the little girl to school with the other mummies hitting on him, or the stepson's GF coming on to him... Loadsa mileage!

Ah. I assumed it was another modern-age-in-the-minds-of-advertisers thing.

They're the same age but the woman has been getting on with her life and has been married/had kids and she then meets this manchild warmhearted doofus who hasn't ever met a kid before. All sort of hi-jinx ensuzzzzzzzz

Manchild!

Perhaps they were in the same year at school or university?
Met again in a Cafe Nero while she was buying a non fat latte, he was using the overpriced wifi?
She has children, he still plays Xbox360?

I like this!

Afterall, the older yummy mummy with children has already been done with skill and class... Gail and Martin Platt anyone?

 

[electrogirl]

i love this! in depth analysis of the BT adverts.....

i think he is meant to be younger than her cos there was that one where her ex husband came back and he was a big manly man.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Not really. I've been the younger partner in relationships where there have been kids from a previous liasion. It gets strange when you suddenly become stepfather to a 20 year old though eeeek!

Are you going to get BT Broadband then?

Personally these adverts make me want to puke.

No I'm on Virgin ( a most inappropriately named BB service for me I'm afraid I should have had a BB provider called slut.com )

I think the ads are cute.

I can't believe this has spawned so much discussion, and I can't believe I've bothered to read it

I know! Good innit! Sometimes I LOVE people!
Dont think of it as low brow or dumbing down. Instead think of it as deconstruction of social.... bugger it, girls and boys love Kris Marshall!

 

[beeboo]

Kris Marshall is rather delicious.

It's quite odd how a funny looking gangly bloke holds such universal appeal.

I think it's the little boy lost thang. Not that I fancy him, but he's definitely got a little of the little boy lost about him, and some people go potty for that.

I don't watch TV anymore (everything I watch is downloaded or from DVDs), and funnily enough, one of the few things I miss are the adverts. Rather sadly, reading the story progression makes me feel like I've missed out.

I want to see the emo haircut!

Gail Platt? That's stretching the definition of yummy mummy a bit isn't it?

 

[Maggot]

My Family is an ace programme, although not as ace as when kris marshall was still in it.

You have terrible taste.

 

[cybershot]

Gail Platt? That's stretching the definition of yummy mummy a bit isn't it?

She was hopefully being sarcastic.

 

[trashpony]

Actually the yummy mummy sees him with pretty woman getting all tongue-tied and does an 'aww' face at her friend.

I have watched more telly than all of you put together

Just a little tongue in cheek there

As if,

You know on the journey home she's going to be giving him a right ear bashing for catching him talking to another woman.

 

[spitfire]

I hatez the ads. he needs to grow some balls. I liked him before these HORRENDOUSLY targeted ads. "ooh he's so cute, ah bless, i could wuv him and cuddle him until he squeaks" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[moonsi til]

no, you've got it wrong - in that advert the girl is trying to chat him up, and he doesn't want her to, so puts her off by telling her all about how great BT broadband is to make her think he's a neek and put her off

the one when the boy gets an emo haircut cracks me up

intresting cos I read that advert as being yes him being chatted up but him wanting to be too...just that he got flustered as he is that kinda guy and started to talk about one of the most intresting exciting things in his life...AKA BT Broadband....lovely sexy lady chatting him exits left...que current lady to come along hear and see all this and think that she is safe to let him be on his own at a party cos of calibre of conversation. Also feeling happy that he is hers....

Agreed....though I don't watch that much telly....

Thing is, if someone started chatting about BT and various internet stuff to me at a party, I'd end up in a big long debate about isp's, contention ratios, routers (wireless or cabled, which ones best) etc

You tease!

As much as I hate these ads this thread has made me realise they are 30 second works of genius. People who like BT Broadband Adverts = People who talk about BT broadband at parties. So stick it in an advert... genius...
