Ill start with Glade Touch' N Fresh, now this isn't the first time they have brought out an ad that is, excuse the pun, a pile of s**t but the latest offering is the worst offender. When I was young the reason I pleaded with my parents to go round to my friends was to play with their new toys. I remember things such as Power Rangers and Transformers but most of all when they had new technology, I remember when a friend of mine got a PC! I used to beg to go round to his house so we could play on Microsoft Encarta! I also remember my friend getting a NES and how I pleaded to go round to his house so we could play on Duck Hunt and cheat with the gun pressed up against the TV screen. Kids are very different nowadays (if this advert is to be believed!), the reason they want to go round to their friends house is so they can have a "poo" just because they have a Glade Touch' N Fresh. So to all parents out there forget your iPhones, Playstation 3's and LCD televisions just get a Glade Touch'N Fresh that should keep the kids happy for a while. The adverts also take joy in people going into toilets after their kids have done the business and taking a good old whiff! There is something wrong with that. Another thing you have to think about (in the first glade offering) is what the hell did he use to draw that picture! You'll see what I mean!
First Glade ad
Latest offering
Another one that is doing my head in at the moment is Foxy Bingo "Foxy's Back". I wish he would just f**k off and never return! In fact all of these bingo ads can take a run and jump, who the hell goes on these sites anyway! Foxy is probably the worst closely followed by Wink Bingo! What's Bingo got to do with dancing anyway??? and whats all this "Too the left" is he training to become some aerobics instructor, i don't really blame him, when this bingo bubble bursts he will have to find something else to do. Somehow there's a site dedicated to the brilliance of Foxy bingo ads which amazingly is a site set up by foxy bingo themselves! (as if anyone else would set this up). Although it looks like a general fan site they give themselves away a little by quoting TNS survey studies of what adverts people remembered celebrating the fact that they were the third most memorable ad for a particular period, these figures are usually found in industry magazines such as Campaign and usually the results feature possible the worst adverts at the time (as they are the most memorable), if i remember correctly other "memorable" adverts from these polls include DFS "Rockstar" and Picture Loans "Dads found ya Scooter" but there's a difference between memorable because its great and memorable because its so bad!
Foxy’s Back with £1 ..Finally as if Foxy wasn't punchable enough the odious cretin that is Michael Winner has made it back onto our screens with more of his "calm down dear" nonsense! I don't feel I have to go into anymore depth than that!
