wow, new ads from vodafone
- Horp0
I fond Vodafone to be one of the most soulless, lifeless, insincere, directionless, one dimensional, unnecessary, insipid, dull, boring, uncharismatic brands on the planet.
The Reebok of mobile communications.
These ads are 'on brand'.

Those ones in the Uk where the people sing 'If I ruled the World' are the most annoying thing on TV
- Samush0
they're not the worst things ever

"cheeper" yeah. when did ads become such a hyped treasure anyway? everyone does it.
- jimbojones0
also I often miss a useful implementation of an idea; here that guy who passes his exam wants to tell someone about his success but noone's around -- and it's exactly the same stuff in the other ads, why bother? take the idea further, don't just interchange the actors dammit

To me it was always good.

"Milky, nauseous, 'life affirming' slop."
I agree they're pretty rank - for the absolute pinnacle of this type of advertising though, look no further than the current Lotto ads, I'll try to find some
- kelpie0
this sort of pish:
though I'm sure there are worse examples. Thing is that it almost gets me (in a 'turn off brain, admit ad message' way) until they reveal its a lottery advert; basically an advert for a national gambling game designed to give poor people false hope in an attempt to distract them from how little chance they have of realising any dreams in real life.

I don't mind these lotto ads compared to cg balls bouncing around. Quite nicely shot. What gets me about the Vodafone UK ones is their pseudo-cool set ups and protagonists...kind of feelslike they're trying to make you laugh in a Napoleon Dynamite/cooky way. At least Lotto is kind of sweet and considered just my opinion
- this is precisely why I hate them. They *are* well shot, there *is* a nice tone of them, then ITS THE FUCKING LOTTERY and the shmaltz hits home worsekelpie
- shmaltz suddenly hits home through all the production valuekelpie
- Good point.babaganush

why don't we complain about advertising for a bit... it's a novel idea and I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of why 90% it always has and will suck...
- I'm bored with it alreadykelpie
- ...even though to a greater or lesser extent we all work in it...doh!babaganush

yeah, I love a drpepper.com/ when I've just eaten a sandwich. Do you have any favourite drinks to wash down a sandwich with? what's your thoughts on drpepper.com/ ?
- Horp0
DrPepper.com is really best at washing down Pretamanger.com in my humble life affirming feel good aspirational experience.
- I look like Ewen MacGregor by the way and you wish to be more like me. Its a healthy crush to have. *eats sandwichHorp

Whilst I know this is not a crit, everyone else has had their 2 pence, now so shall I :)
1. I really liked – execution is good and the actor is spot on
2. After watching 1 I was trying to work out what this was. Only at the end did I get it... not as good as 1 but made me smile.
3. CrapThe idea is Simple and that is all it has to be. They do add a personality but still lack Character

wow, people spent money on those.

FUCKING SECONDED WITH A VENGEANCE!
Vodaphone is such a horrible soul less brand that they even make O2 look half good which is saying something.
