Advertisment Quotes

[CyberSurfer]

Yes, it's time for another great (and totally pointless) CyberSurfer thread!

This time, it's quotes from adverts. If this thread takes off, I'll know that there are at least some other people out there as sad as me!

To kick off...


"What are you, some kind of sadist? Surely this woman deserves...."

"Stop drinking, Stop smoking, Stop having sex for money"

lets see if you can guess where that came from....

[CyberSurfer]

As soon as I've overcome the shock of someone replying to this post, I'll think about it.

[Benjamin]

that was a comedy central ad.... now lets see if you can guess where I saw this one:



Yahoo! Mail - Get your free @yahoo.com email address - click here

[G.Kumaraguru]

at Hotmail Right ????

[Benjamin]

no... close... but keep guessing...

[Benjamin]

nobody guessed... so heres a picture of where I saw the advertisement.....

[Ianpbaker]

There's a new IBM advert over here in the uk. There is this big board meeting becuase there system has gone down and it goes like this

The server suppliers say it's an application problem
The application developers say it's the database
The database people say it's the web developers
The web developers have gone snow boarding

I was laughing my head off when I first saw that advert as the amount of meetings I've been in and everyone is blaming everyone else why it isn't working instead of trying to work out why.

I would've....honest.....but I was out all of yesterday evening...I would've....;)

[CyberSurfer]

Ianpbaker, you should've gotted my very first quote, being a fellow Brit.......

[Ianpbaker]

it rings a bell, but I can't think of it

[CyberSurfer]

T'was a Thompsons Holidays advert......

Ah well...:cool:

[Ianpbaker]

"I just can't help it" ?

[CyberSurfer]

Um........

[Ianpbaker]

The peporami advets when he eats himself, Damn those adverts were funny. " Come back and finnish me of you wimp "

[G.Kumaraguru]

Any one Saw Sun Microsystems..... The Dot Ad ?

It is a Business meeting and Everyone screams
"there is something wrong ...."

and Incomes a dashing Sphere which is the Dot(in 3D of course)

The ad finally ends like this...

"your Competition Will never know what hit them !"

[CyberSurfer]

Ah yes, I should have remembered the Peperami advert!

"Now smell each others armpits....."

[Ianpbaker]

:mad: ikea, and I hate that advert

[CyberSurfer]

Me 2...It is one of the most annoying adverts on TV...And not a little bit sick!

[Ianpbaker]

"and a girly button to make steering easier"

[CyberSurfer]

Dang, I'm not doing well! I saw that recently, and I can't for the life of me remember it!

[Ianpbaker]

It's the man's version of the fiat bravo advert.

When I first saw that advert, I saw the woman's side to the story adn thought that it was to sexist to be alowed to be shown. It wasn't untill a couple of weeks later that I saw the blokes version and was on the floor with laughter.

Isn't it it a bit sad to be discussing adverts.

Oh well

"made to make your mouth water"

[CyberSurfer]

I don't think it's sad at all. It makes me feel less sad, anyway!

Steaming piles of Gonads! I can't remember that one either!

Opal Fruits

(still called Opal Fruits in my book. None of this silly "Starburst" nonsence)


the woman's face at the end of the IBM ad is a classic!

[Ianpbaker]

Definatley Opal Fruit's
Defiantley Marathon's
Definatley Cocco-Pops

Bloody companies taking away parts of my childhood :D

Ian

[CyberSurfer]

I remember all those names too...I'm only 17!

[JPRoy392]

I have a question:
Have you guys (Brits) seen any commercials or any other advertisements for the new Mini Cooper? I know that BMW has bought the rights of the Cooper, but it won't be available in the States until Spring 2002. I'm not sure what to think of the car. Any opinions would be appreciated.

[Ianpbaker]

take a look here mate

http://www.minicooper.org/New%20Mini.htm

[JPRoy392]

It's an OK looking car. I still like the "traditional" looking Coopers. Those cars are impossible to find in the States. Maybe I'll get one in 2002. The starting price will be about $18,000.00 (US). The Cooper-S will be a little more.

Maybe I'll start a new thread dedicated to the Mini.

[Jeff_1]

Not really an advert..but still DEMANDS notice....


In my cisco networking class...there is an tutorial on how to use a broswer..and it is in flash...YET! you have to have a browser to read the tutorial on how to use a browser.... my god... "shakes head"

[HarryW]

Is it just me, or is that Mini not as mini as it used to be?

[JPRoy392]

That Mini is not as small.

[Xenonic_Rob]

OK there's this really dodgy UK advert right now advertising CentreParks (UK peeps'll know what I mean)... It has a load of squirrells and weird things like that...

They jump and then it freezes, and you see all the way round this squirrel in mid-air... interesting effects - but I know how squirrels and penguins are planning to take over the world - they haven't fooled me.

[HarryW]

So are red squirrels like the gestapo? Don't see too many of them around, they tend to keep themselves hidden away. What about the different kinds of penguin? I mean, are they all involved? Just so I know what to look out for.

Hey I found this one...

Whats the thing that pulsates and vibrates between your legs?

Answer will come exactly after two days.. meanwhile ponder on it!!

[Active]

I am Sensing Something UGLY here....

[HarryW]

Speak for yourself.

[Xenonic_Rob]

Mmm... all types of squirrells... but mainly red ones.
And penguins - it's all of them. I met one recently, he explained it all to me. Then I ate him.

[spud]

They’re changing the name of Jif to Cif to go along with the rest of Europe; I suppose they didn’t research the meaning of the word Cif (syphilis) in the UK. And what ever happened to Spangles! And has my hands got bigger or has waggon wheels got smaller!

Quote: Your Boss thinks your great................how great is your Boss?

[parksie]

On the CenterParcs [sic] advert...how DO they do that effect? I've seen it on loads of adverts now - it's way cool...but I have no idea how they do it :confused:

[spud]

Is that the one where to camera pans round in a 3D effect?

[HarryW]

Oh I think I know what you mean if you mean where they rotate the camera around a paused scene. They have a big semicircle of cameras and the all take a picture at the same time. Kinda simple really. I saw it on a documentary or something like that.

[Mark Sreeves]

HarryW are you Dave Baddiel by any chance? your avatar bears an uncanny resemblence to him.

I saw that program as well. It was showing how it was done in the filming of The Matrix or something. The Centre Parcs ad is a low buget imitation and I think they totally over use it.

[HarryW]

I think Mr Baddiel has black hair, whereas mine is clearly brown :) I see what you mean though. I don't look much like him though. I'm here because I'm a programmer, not an artist ;)
