euchrid 21 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Just saw this in an Ad Break. Funny, certainly but I don't think it helps our cause much :sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ643U7ccpM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puffer 258 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 I dislike this advert; I find it embarrassing and pointless. What is it intended to achieve? I suppose the marketing men in their own distorted world consider that just being memorable is enough - in which case I suppose it succeeds. Any better ideas, anyone?

FastFreddy2 282 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 First things first ... If I see an advert 4 times, I don't want to see it a 5th time ..... I dislike advertisers doing this so much, I've just about given up watching commercial TV - and when I make an exception, I have a way to avoid their adverts anyway. First couple of times, the advert was a novelty, though the lower half didn't appear to belong to any Western body so the concept wasn't very polished from the get go. As with Puffer, I can't quite get the point, though John Lewis does this with much success every year. "Memorable" both, but the JL ones are done with exquisite taste - every Crimbo. The strapline "You're so money supermarket" alienates me. As for suggestions ..... Camera takes close up of subjects face, and moves backwards widening the overall view.... A hairy tramp, with long (flasher) style dirty rain mac, with drawstring bag over shoulder, swaggers along the road towards the camera position..... Tramp passes camera, and 3/4 view of tramp slowly becomes full length as he passes, revealing the high heel shoes with "Sale" label finally visible. Mrs Osbourne then says; "He's sooooo money supermarket". Concept: Even the poorest people will find bargains at M/S. Memorable? Tramp in red high heels? I think so.
