Why do adverts use such irritating people or voices, it is purely just because they will be memorable because its so annoying.
At least that irritating asda advert isn't on as much with that bushy haired special fella.
It's the natwest one annoying me now. "tomorrow begins today" mainly on the radio.
Also the annoying Renault adverts, with that terrible fake French accent woman.

sorted byYou can record it and clip it if you know what you're doing - eg, with a program like Audacity. Though I wouldn't upload it to Youtube or anywhere public, it was just for a few friends to hear.
I also hate the moonpig advert when she pronounces 'mischievous' wrong.
But then goes on to mention the companies involved: ASDA, NatWest and Renault.
Surely he has answered his own question.
Although I remember the GoCompare adverts, they irratated me so much that when I look for insurance renewal I always remember to avoid that site.
And they think & assume consumers are real dumb. That Plusnet ad. havent they overdone & outlived that Yorkshire accent thingy? Dont feel like visiting Yorkshire ever.
Race to the bottom? I sure hope so !
Hi, success friend. Yes, Yandrew is a gem. There's a new one actually, I think it only went on very recently.
It often is much better when a witty content creator is paid to make an ad themselves, like Adam. Another really good example is Jay Foreman's YouTube channel, where he does amusing videos about geography and history and stuff. The ads continue the same tone as the actual videos, which incidentally do remind me a bit of Adam Buxton in their style and humour.
We were watching a programme on ITV a few days ago and an advert came on. My son says 'why did you turn the TV over?'. We then had to go through explaining what adverts were. His response was 'oh, it's those things on Youtube isn't it?'.
But back to the original question, for me it's the GoCompare adverts that had the longest lasting effect, and I'm still not sure whether it's in a positive or negative way. When I'm looking for an insurance renewal, the first thing that comes into my head is the opera singer. So in a way it's done exactly what it set out to do.
Exactly this - didn’t copy you just read things out of order
This.
Don't listen to radio but it's been years since I last watched a TV advert. (edited)
Car companies are the worst for this.
Here, buy our 20/30/40k car from us, it's awesome, but we think so little of you as a customer base that we can't justify spending money filming adverts for your country's market, so here, watch a model you won't be able to buy, driving on terrain you're likely to never see, for a price that you'll have to add 50% to get near the spec shown.
And you may get a sexy blonde for free, to go with the car ! How nice of them to throw in some freebies.
Also assuming there is full speed Fibre internet and accompanying Wifi to match !
Or you have great 5G and data is not an issue (looking at you - Three network liars)
If you listen to his podcast you'll know what I mean.
Wondering how many millions are being spent. Recovery will of coruse come fro the consumers who may wish to get fit a £3000 a bike . (edited)
I only remember Halifax advert lol
Yeah, they always make me cringe. I'm sure their marketing department think that they're being really edgy and clever, but everyone I know simply call it "Kecks" .
Especially when you panic.i locked myself out of my house in a pre-internet phone era and called 118118 even though others were cheaper I just remembered the adverts!
Someone has created the perfect takedown of that annoying Peloton exercise bike ad campaign - The Poke
If you find the "Yandrew" audio somewhere, do please post a link here. Have messaged Mr Buckles on Soundcloud as I too have been searching for it and cannot find it anywhere!
