Badvertising: Thai Bubble Gum Motor Mouth

by Matthew Laidlow

Visiting foreign countries is always amusing when it comes to viewing their culture. Well, that’s if they have any original TV content left once formats for shows such as X-Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Next Top Model aren’t all chewed up and spat towards a country who then broadcasts the subsequent trash with its [...]

Badvertising – Marco Pierre White Wants To Talk About Turkeys And We’re Not Listening

by Michael Park

When you’re looking into an advert you have to look beyond the obvious and into the depths of what makes advertising people and companies decide that things are a permissible idea. Take as an example, the ill-fated attempt by Sabatier knives to reinvigorate their brand by getting in Danny Dyer as a spokesperson. Things often don’t go [...]

You’re like most blokes, aren’t you? Yeah, you. Even if you’re a girl, you’re like most blokes right? Of course you are. Most blokes are into things that blokes are into.

Badvertising: Nando’s Showcase Worst Food On Earth With Woeful Wrappers Delight Video

by Matthew Laidlow

We still don’t get the hype surrounding Nando’s and why people will fork out money for rubbery tasting chicken cooked in herbs and spices that tastes like a pub’s drip tray.

Badvertising: Hard Up Students, Welcome To The World Of Talking Hamburgers And Rapping

by Matthew Laidlow

Being a student might give you a degree printed on a fancy bit of paper, but the three years studying for it can be a bit of a drag. There are highs when most nights-out consist of getting drunk for less than £5. However, when it comes to vomiting up your insides the next morning, [...]

Badvertising: A Situation Situated Between Bristol Palin And The Situation

by Kris Silver

Poor old Bristol Palin, she’s got a shotgun wielding nutcase of a mother, had a child with a man who has neck so red that it can’t be seen by the naked eye and, unbelievably, she failed to win some shoddy yank spin-off of Strictly Come Dancing. In what can only be seen as an [...]

Badvertising: Iceland Ruins Christmas

by Kris Silver

Iceland isn’t exactly the greatest country in the world. It has no money whatsoever, has a volcano with an unpronounceable name that brought most of Europe to a standstill and is home to Bjork, that weird faced thing what tortures cats and pretends its music. As far as countries go, Iceland’s a right bastard. Even [...]

Robert Downey Jr. Is Nuts

by Paul Pencott

Robert Downey Jr. is nuts! Do you know why? Is it because of the time he was pulled-over for speeding and the police found cocaine, heroin and .357 Magnum on him? Or the time he was so well-lit he wandered into his neighbour’s house and fell asleep on one of his beds? Or the whole [...]

Badvertising: Peter Kay Is New Marks And Spencer Grinch

by Justrestingmyeyes

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of things that Peter Kay has managed to ruin for all of us in his 37 years of existence: the Bolton accent. Jolly fat men. Amarillo. John Smiths beer. Bob Marley. The Brits. Garlic. Bread. Garlic bread. All charitable endeavour ever undertaken. The concept of comedy. Quite large swathes of life [...]

Badvertising: Estrella Beer Drinkers Are Tedious Show-Offs

by Justrestingmyeyes

Ever gone on holiday on your own? It’s an immensely dispiriting experience. Stuck in an endless round of shitty hostels, ignored by fantastically beautiful Europeans, so desperate for any sort of human contact that you end up having the same mindless conversation with identikit dunderheaded Australians about “where the totally awesome party is at”. This always [...]
