Badvertising - Aquafresh

The semi-recurring feature known as Badvertising is hecklerspray's excuse to tear apart adverts that some poor bastards have spent months over. The creators of this particular advert have probably though that because it’s animated, it’ll obviously be hilarious. Add the kind of tune you hear buskers play on the high street, it all adds up to be become the Aquafresh advert. 

Most adverts are particularly surreal, which is why we haven’t had Snickers thrown at us by Mr T while we play football. But the makers of the Aquafresh advert have tried to make it more realistic so we can all follow it and somehow relate to it. It basically sees a happy clappy family dancing and brushing their teeth at the same time and doing some odd shuffly dance. We imagine the Spice Girls will do the same on their upcoming tour.

There are so many things wrong with the Aquafresh advert it’s unreal. 1) No-one is ever that happy in the morning. Anyone who likes to get out of their warm bed with a big smile on their face has to be mentally challenged, 2) Bathroom time is precious and sacred. If anyone dares use the bog while we're in, we won’t welcome them with open arms. Well, unless our arms are covered in poo. 3) The family all look so perfectly groomed! When we get up, we look like we’ve been dragged through several hedges. with takeaway food glued to our grizzly chops. We aren’t the prettiest in the morning. 4) No-one dances in front of the mirror like that. Usually we’ll be slumped across it, wishing it was a soft cuddly pillow. 5) The family resemblance in all the characters in the Aquafresh ad is quite worrying. Something tells that this particular brother and sister are a little bit more than 'close'. 6) Are they all on some sort of drug trip? Not only is the tap bouncing, but the toothpaste is also having a merry old dance. They must need to brush up their nashers to hide all that cocaine, LSD and speed they took the previous night.
