Am I getting old and crochety or . . .
are the adverts these days becoming more ridiculous by the day?
I thought we'd reached rock bottom when I saw a family sniffing the work-tops and floors trying to sniff that 'fresh' smell, now we have two fellas flying about with one suffering from an itchy armpit which causes him to crash dive. Perhaps it's the result of hallucinogenic drug taking at a young age.

If we looked back on these ads in 10 or 20 yrs time we would laugh out loud just as we do now about the old ads on that silly programme (forget what it was called) and yet at the time they seemed ok as it was new to us.
One that really annoys me is the naked young girl in a cornfield seductively looking at the camera until she opens her mouth and reveals bad teeth. I feel I want to knock them all out.She must feel embarrased when friends and family watch that. Its awful !

Oh y-e-s - I forgot that one. That has to be the worst one ever made. And that one in a corn field wouldn't look out of place in a Hammer horror film.
I know 'nostalgia isn't what it used to be' but I remember with fond affection Bing Crosby's Shell adverts, the Murraymint and the Esso Blee-dooler ones.

Seem's to me adverts go in cycles, you have a period where they are funny or witty or both and then a period like now that completly seems to lack anything about them at all.
All of those Halifax adverts seem like finger nails on a blackboard to me or any thing that syas its a "limited edition" how can you have a limited edition hamburger or hairspray Grrrrrr.

The Esso Extra advert was a classic. Those cartoon ads have never been beaten in my estimation. Remember Shippham's paste (to the tune of the Blue Danube) and McEwan's beer?
(p.s. schoolboy joke I recall; "What's got four bums and is blue?"
Another favourite of mine was the advert for Mann's Stout, with the slogan, "I like a Mann's. Looks good, tastes good and by golly it does you good!" My mother could never understand why I always sniggered when it came on and I was too embarrassed to explain the double entendre.
