h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I used to find that changing over to the music channels
helped. TMF used to show videos but now they show the
most inane programmes. Usually they gather about a dozen
unheard of talking heads together who then gush on about
some celebrity, their car, crib or baby or whatever.
They also run a kind or reality () show about wannabe
models. It seems that every time I tried the channel
it featured two sisters having a hissy over missed
appointments.
Too much like Groundhog Day or hell for me.
I'm now watch the ads with the sound off and add my own dialogue.

"Actimel is scientifically proven". That's it. No further explanation.

No, really, you're taking the piss now aren't you? I mean, you don't even mention what it's scientifically proven to actually do/be/achieve?

I suppose they mean that the existence of Actimel has been scientifically proven.

Hmm. but philosphically I suspect it could bea rgued that it may not exist and there is certainly reasonable doubt about the existence of existence...

Actimel is scientifically proven to make money for advertising agencies? Ten out of ten of our bank managers think so, and THEY all have a B.Sc in economics...

I was considering doing a spoof booze ad. A scabby, gin-soaked harridan with yellow teeth plonks a large bottle on the table.

"Gordons! Contains ethanol™ proven to actively reduce the effect of giving a what you look like."

do it do it do it!

Friend of mine starred in a spoof McD ad... Jingle line? We're loving it (to death)...
The work of an anarchistic cameraman/artist

I saw a full blown humdinger the other day.

Earrings: buy one, get one free.

I was incapacitated for about a minute.

A conversation here at work just led me to thnk this:

New Loreal Lard®, with Porcineophil® and Pro-Boviflex®. Restores volume, shine and puts curl in your pigtail.'

Continuing my theme of watching commercials with the sound off
and guessing dialogue.
So far I've learnt you should chop the food up on the lavatory
seat before giving it to your baby.

Excellent: that'll build up the immue syastem nicely.

Next logical step is to rinse the salad in the pan.

It's a TV program trailer, not trying to sell me some I can live without for:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/conchords/

REALLY made me think that I must avoid this program at all cost.

Hmm, con and chords, could that be a clever play on words
Or just a load of cr*p.

Very wise. The radio series "Flight of the concords" was one that people either loved or couldn't see the point of. And this is the TV adaptation of the radio series.

OK, good idea, take a novelty singing act from New Zealand and push it to the absurd - treat them as if they're going to be megastars, when the act, while OK, is not one that will fill a 40,000 seat arena and never will. (At best, the Northern WMC circuit and a very modest living on the further edge of fame).

Manage them with engagingly cheerful Welsh comic Rob Brydon, and it made for a modestly funny Saturday lunchtime radio series. But the BBCwere deluded enough to make this out to be a radio comedy smash hit, and it was nothing of the sort. The very best radio comedy does NOT go out on Saturday lunchtime on Radio Two - this is where you put faithfuls like the News Huddlines,those God-awful lazy clip shows , and strictly second-rate material. Smash hits go on Radio Four - they generally get names like h2g2, the Burkiss Way, ISIHAC, et c.

Sorry, but this was a five-out-of-ten effort on radio and I doubt if it'll be any better on TV!

Best warning for Nudity and Swearing I've seen for a long time on Wookey Hole's Halloween show - The Circus of Horrors present The Asylum...

'Warning the Circus of Horrors contains some nudity and language of an adult nature, it is not suitable for children, people of a nervous disposition, chavs or sissys'

...

Does anyone else really hate that "Battle of the Sexes" Mail on Sunday ad (the one with the battlefield in which a line of men attack the line of women with remote controlled cars and the women retailate with small yappy Paris Hilton style dogs) they show at the cinema for it's stereotyped view of both genders

The Mail pandering to stereotypes? Nah, don't believe you.

I find it quite amusing because the people who will buy the magazines probably fit or aspire to those stereotypes anyway, and if you dont fit or aspire to them or read their tosh then why worry? It's not aimed at you anyway, I find the ads amusing... Because I see it as cartoon-funny.

Ooh yes, that one is annoying... not least because the makers of the advert clearly haven't worked out that all the women need to do to win the battle is take their tops off.
