Hello good people!

I noticed that there are a lot of sick (unrealistic or downright stupid) adverts being aired on TV nowadays, Have u seen

any of late?

Tell us about it and let's share some laffs,

[color=#770077][/color]i think the stupid HARPIC advert certainly wins it as d worst advert on TV, SILLY

then JIK advert, d woman wit d mumu husband who de pour juice everywhere, (and then carries d drink thru the crowd of people) just because he knows his wife will just smile and JIK IT-- dumb

oh and have u seen d DETTOL advert where the chic just returns frm a journey and d sis says she needs a dettol bath?? why the surprise later? puullleeeeezzzzzzzz

What about Omo's Dirt is good advert? Sick as shit

that advert with black girl wearing blonde wigs

fayruz ,fahruz something like that

that advert with black girl wearing blonde wigs

fayruz ,fahruz something like that = crass!

Dirt is good, really rubbish

Fayrouz, wack

and most of all Nigerian adverts

Omo's dirt is good & dettols ad are VERY OK! D worst so far is fayrouz; black girls wiv blonde wigs, how sick is that?

Who remember that delta ad where guys and girls were dancing in a beach, stupid. Most naija ads are dumb like shit. The coke "brr" ad is so annoying. Why d hell are they still advertising coke.

OMO's ad is just PURE EXPLOITATION - trying to make much money with less impact.

tell the kids to get dirty and their moms buy OMO - increase in sales

for the dettol ad of the lil' gal running away from her dad i n the afternoon; I just wanna know -


what does her father do?

is he a lecturer or engineer?

theres one abt some girl n guy arm wrestling, extremely wack

Drug comercials are the dumbest, theres this one where a family is is jogging, they get tired and decided to use vit c glucose, they felt better (of course) and starting running like they're being chased by wild animals or somn'.

There is one by MTN where a lady calls her family and the husband calls the kids to speak to their mom, Initiallly the lady holds no hand set to her ears when the adverts begins (they show her ears and there's nothing there) but @ the end of the call she suddenly brings one out, From where now? unless we now have invisble handsets,

The airwick advert where an elephant mother said her son is a centipede? i don't seem to understand o

Am i the only one that has seen the coke Brr advert, considering that coke is an international brand and its managers collect millions monthly,and yet all they feel is Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Am sure the advert was after a brandy and whisky weekend at the club (Hangover-)

D airwick ad is kool, What dey meant by having a centipede as a son was dat no matter how many 'smelly' shoes u leave out d air freshner would defin8ly cleanse d air!

i agree with mustay on that dettol soap (body odour) advert, very dumb, so because ur father is sweaty and smelly, a child wont be able to hug her dad, sick and annoying

Another advert that completely dulls me is that ambi pur advert. the worst ever made. Two chics standing on the road and a free ride from an alhaji comes, d only reason they dont enter is cos d car is smelly, then another car drives up and they get in cos d smell is cool, totally wack, if you ask me, really dumb. What were the authors of dat advert thinking.

You guys think you've seen sick adverts? check this one out. . .viewer discretion is advised, strongly advised.

Nah! That made sense - trying to show us CALLS are like communicating tete-a-tete!

One might not trust the originality since MTN is currently involved in a advertisement copyright suit

haba seewhy mtn advert should not be on dis thread at all. dat advert made way more sense dat some really WACK ads on tv
eg: harpic,ambipur, brrrrrrrrr by coke (wat on earth was d person dat endorsed dis ad smoking)

I'VE BEEN RACKING WITH LAUGHTER ATY ALL YOUR COMMENTS WHILE RECALLING THE ADVERTS.

PLEASE HARPIC ADVERT IS WHACK ,WHO ARE THEY KIDDING, AMI PUR TOTALLY USELESS ARE THEY PROMOTING PROSTITUTION, ALLLLLL DRUG ADVERTS ARE TERRRIBLE, I WOULDNT BUY THOSE DRUGS because OF THEIR ADVERTS.

THAT dettol advert where d boy jumps into d water with his clothes and shoes on, i feel like giving him a knock everytime i see it,

HARPIC is super wack, 'BRRRRHH'- coke and others already mentioned

That dettol advert should be off the screen before some kid drowns in a well because his mother bathes him with dettol, really stupid

Just before you guys continue railing about how ads are sick and stupid, i must let you know that coming up with those ads involves a whole raft of professionals both on the ad agency's side and on the client's side. Then so that those involved are not found guilty of tunnel vision, there is an additional failsafe that involves testing the ads on teenagers of average intelligence. Once they can grasp the message that the ads are promoting, the ads are certified fit for broadcast.

Granted, production often leaves much to be desired in Nigeria. Granted again, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but to say that a concept is stupid or sick simply because you don't "get it" merely says something about your level of intelligence. Don't forget that ads are tested on teenagers of average intelligence, and they "get it" otherwise the ads wouldn't be aired.

So try and think through an ad before you pronounce judgment on it. And on yourself.

lawyerchap!!! where have u been?

Modups dearie, longest time. What's been up with you? I've been under the radar for a while. You know its now idols season, that's why i'm back on nairaland. Hope i'll see you on that thread.

@lawyerchap

maybe you should change your testing[b][/b] audience

besides what exactly is 'average intelligience'


And i concur that AMBI-PUR ad is , was and forever shall be WACK, STUPID and SICK!

if those girls were in another country they'd be in on a serial killers victim list

The ambi pur advert is so sick. By the way wat are promoting? I think they are promoting aristos in their advert

Also the stupid Bank PHB advert concerning two guys playing scramble and saying impossible doesnt exist. It is so annnoying.

VOTED: ambi pur is my most conceptless ad.

why do DETTOL ads create the impression that without mothers, husbands and children can't take care of themselves?
