Youtube has an ace new feature that builds a list of all the videos features on particular websites. In the case of its page for AdTurds it’s a roll-call of advertising shame. Most of the ads feature within that list seem to have a little note at the bottom of the video on the specific video pages. It says this.
As seen on AdTurds – Adverts That Are Shit
It cracks me up and strokes my ego at the same time. What’s particularly brilliant is that there doesn’t seem to be any way by the account holder to influence them so Harvester, for example, can’t change the stinging little nota bene at the bottom of its own advert on its own page.
BMW, Haribo, Bulmers, Harvester – perhaps a few others as far as I know. They all get that unwanted little footnote at the bottom of their ads.
Is someone suggesting that the Haribo adverts amount to torture? That they could be used in Guantanamo to drive lads from Bolton into admitting they once went to Pakistan? Or is the reader in question suggesting they’d like to torture the people responsible for the advert? The latter seems likely, given that someone in the ‘Suggest an AdTurd’ section wanted to push the sweets in question up the anuses of the actors involved ‘until they explode’.
Trends this month – alongside Haribo of course – showed no slowing in hatred for Go Compare, Confused.com, Gillette and Head & Shoulders.
New entries included the Toyota Yaris advert and dear old Freddie and Adam – two brothers destined to be loathed forever by 400,00 people for their truly abysmal advert for the BMW 1 Series.
This month I was amused by the following couplet:
how stupid is louise rednapp
how thick is jamie redknapp
Not so stupid or thick that they aren’t raking it in all over your TV at any given time of the day, sadly.
Meanwhile, who voices the dog in the Walls adverts? I don’t know. A dog? What is a commer corn on the cob? I’ve been led to believe it’s actually a combo piri-piri, though I’m still none the wiser to be honest.
‘You’re doing it wrong!’ entries include such delights as ‘compare your shit.com’; ‘dirty adverts for shit sniffers’; ‘fat girl shagged at butlins’; ‘i have embezzled from charity i work for’ and, bafflingly, ‘based on a sample of 200 customers, flora found that 48% preferred flora buttery. calculate a confidence interval for the true proportion who prefer flora.’ Is that an exam question?
Targets of AdTurds readers’ dubious affections include Carey Mulligan, Louise Redknapp, Cheryl Baker and Martine McCutcheon (‘i would fuck martine mccutcheon up the arse’).
Meanwhile no-one seems to know if the Bulmers Plan B advert is a fake. A fake what, exactly? I’ve no idea, but I do know that I hate Plan B.
