How about that Jamie Redknapp Skechers radio advert? He goes on about the various different styles of Skechers and at the end he mentions, what sounds very much like ‘arse fit’ I had to google this only to find it’s actually ’ arch fit!’ :joy:
I did wonder what arses would have to do with footwear!

He mentions ladies shoes too but not men’s which is strange after having a bloke front the advert! I must add that i wear Skechers boots for work and shoes for leisure, very comfortable!
On a similar theme and apt to you, No Surrender of Judas Priest’s Firepower album has the line “My heart’s on fire” but i always hear it as “My arse on fire” which makes me titter cos i think, use more lube Rob! :wink:

Anyone remember Ivory Snow ad with Marilyn Chambers before she became a porn star? She is holding a box of Ivory Snow looking like the innocent housewife next door. Became one of the most famous porn stars of all time.

The sucking both balls thread made me think:
“you’ll need a big mouth for that”,
reminding me of Muhammad Ali’s ad for Bird’s Eye Quarter Pounders:
You need a big mouth to eat a big burger

Mike Reid ads, one xmas add he forgets what he wants to buy then meets Ricky and say’s hello. Ricky looks confused and walks away Mike then say’s “Oh yea blank tapes”
Another add with him standing in a field he steps on a cow pat and say’s “Pat” then starts crying and say’s “Oh Pat, what have you done to me Pat?”

I’ve never seen an advert that’s actually made me go out and buy whatever it was advertising

I saw an extended version of this advert for the perfect sit up on a shopping channel way back. Fifteen years or so later, I still use it every couple of days and still liking the results

If i see one enough occasionally I’ll look into the topic more, not if the advert annoys me though. As an example, i learned about lovehoney from late night dave adverts :joy:

The only time I’ve purchased anything through an advert I see is when I see one for LH :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: thank god for late night adverts

Got to admit it looks like it’s worked a treat for you! :heart_eyes:

I still can’t think of one single thing that an advert has encouraged me to buy!

Thanks @wildflower

Another one for you all
“Beanz Meanz Heinz”
for years they were the only beans I bought, looking back I guess subliminally because of the advert

We buy Essential Waitrose Baked Beans now. 4 tins for 1.10, and they are as nice as Heinz used to be.

Oh! I just got reminded of another thing that annoys me in a lot of adverts (the bloo toilet stuff advert reminded me): the awful dubbing/syncing. I fully understand recording audio separately. But the mouth movements are so off it’d honestly be better if they didn’t try to lip sync

I tend to avoid adverts but I was definitely influenceable as a child. I remember trying to convince my parents to buy blue ketchup AND green ketchup as a result… Even though I didn’t really like ketchup :joy: (anyone else remember this?! I feel like it didn’t last very long but it was such a craze at the time)

I assume that’s the advertising company using ads filmed in a different country and dubbing an English accent on.
