Badvertising: Hotel Derek Does It With Criminal Damage

by Michael Park

Badvertising likes nothing better than seeing the breakdown of an advertising executive portrayed through their adverts. It heartens us to see people so devoid of creative talent making adverts which are actually supposed to be designed to sell a service but leave the target audience feeling more bemused than Lindsay Lohan’s gynaecologist. The world needs [...]

Badvertising: Meet Vincent; Advertwat

by Michael Park

Sometimes in life, we come across people who we know straight away are going to be immensely successful. These people are able to take the most crippling disappointments in their stride without ever deviating from the belief that they’re anything other than the greatest people to ever walk the face of the earth. These are [...]

Badvertising: Is This The Pinnacle Of Human Invention?

by Michael Park

Stop! That’s enough! This has gone on long enough! The world is coming to an end next year and this is the best we can come up with? This is the pinnacle of human endeavour? The human race has been on this planet for so many years that to think about it in any great [...]

Badvertising: What Are The Diet Coke Junkie Puppets Trying To Tell Us?

by Michael Park

If there’s one thing that we love here at hecklerspray, it’s Gerry Anderson animation. You know? With the puppets and whatnot. All rickety, gadding about getting into highly ’60sified’ (it’s a word, look it up) shenanigans with their strings flapping about behind them. Even if you’re not getting the picture, you’ll probably be familiar with [...]

Badvertising: One Direction Show Us Bleak & Violent Dystopia

by Michael Park

There are many occasions when we are lying in our beds in the hecklerspray bedsit that we dream of all being close enough to want to do things together. We lie in our dirt-covered sleeping bags and dream about frolicking through meadows like boisterous school children from an Enid Blyton novel (but not racist). Flying [...]

Badvertising: Cohabitation & Why It’s Not That Funny

by Michael Park

Hello, readers! There’s a Royal Wedding tomorrow! I’m sure you’ve missed most of the coverage though, the press and media have decided to be quite low-key in their build up to the nuptials and have decided just to show the odd quick snippet of footage just to remind people that it’s actually happening. Here at [...]

ITV2 Enlist 90s Alt Band Daisy Chainsaw For Latest Gossip Girl Trailer

by Kris Silver

ITV2 is a very odd channel. They seem intent on keeping Kerry Katona’s career alive for reasons that quite frankly baffle anyone with half a brain cell, even budget supermarket Iceland had enough sense to get rid of her and they had an advert in which Jason Donovan did the can-can in fish nets. But [...]

Badvertising: Let’s Celebrate Britain. And Britishness. And The Recession. And What An Advertising Boom It Must Be.

by Michael Park

There are few things in the world that are more annoying than rampant nationalism in any country. Take supermarkets, for example. Loads of people all milling around like bleating herds of sheep with no real purpose other than to load their trolleys with crisps, vodka and Strawberry bon-bons. They’re annoying aren’t they? Or Freddy Flintoff [...]

Badvertising: Pasties Filled With Ejaculate

by Michael Park

There really is nothing worse than feeling like you’re trapped being something you don’t want to be. Feeling that you will be judged and pilloried because of your hopes and aspirations. It’s a terrible feeling and it’s something that people should never have to feel*. For example, many of our hecklerspray writers want to be [...]

Badvertising Windows 7 – The Parent You Could Never Be

by Michael Park

When you have a family that you’re ashamed of, it’s easy to want to look beyond their faults and love them for just exactly who they are. That doesn’t mean, of course, that if you have a relative who ‘enjoys the company of children’ or has ‘buried another relative under their patio’ that you shouldn’t [...]
