This is a question Best and worst TV ads

"I'd like to give that dodo off the 5 Alive adverts a good kicking," says tom.joad. And luckily, there's tasty, tasty Cillit Bang to clean up the blood stains when you've finished. Tell us about TV adverts.

Also, adverts that look like they're shot on VHS-C
What the hell is the thinking behind these adverts (there's a toothpaste advert that springs to mind) that looks like it was shot on a noisy crappy camcorder? Why is blurry speckly video with flaring on highlights and seriously warped colour balance, coupled with drunken angles and shite "internal microphone" sound supposed to make me want to buy their product?

If they spend that little on making their advert not shit, how good can their product be?

Maybe their product is so good, they didn't feel the need to spend much on advertising?

It's supposed to look spontaneous and 'down to earth'
rather than polished and elite, in order to convince you that really, the cretin on the television is just like you; you have something in common; might as well make that something Colgate Total (or whatever).

But the cretin on television is *not* like me...
... not least because I have a JVC KY-25E and a vectorscope.

Amazing, that's how good. They pass the savings on adverts into making better products. For you and your family.
