"The new Mazda 2.... It's Fit."

Does this not say; "if you're stupid, buy this car." ?

:D
 
I was actually so put off by this ad, that I now hate the Mazda 2. No matter how good or bad it may be, that adverts left a sour taste.
 
Because they are so very random, you could watch fragrance adverts all day and without the end bit telling you what fragrance it is you wouldn't have a clue as to what they're selling, cept maybe the hugo boss ones.

Its like:
"she was a woman"
"he had a suit jacket"
"fragrance name"

Or some bird prancing about.

Which is more can be said for Ford/BMW/Lexus etc etc.

I noticed it and am now talking about it yes, do I want a Mazda 2, no. Would I consider one based on the advert, no. Am I now more aware of the Mazda 2because of the ad? I guess so, but if I now see one im just going to think of that ad and despise the car.

Car adverts are my least favourite to be honest, although some of the Honda ad's are entertaining.
 
But advertisers don't really mind if you don't buy the product from seeing the advert. Someone on here might - and you've just put the idea in their head.

The fact that you noticed it and relayed the info is half their battle. They paid for the airtime, and you just stated how bad it was & how you would never buy it (along with the brand name and model) - thats more than BMW and Lexus have achieved in the last 10 minutes.

Now everyone reading this thread will be wondering what the ad and the car is like just because someone mentioned how bad it was.

Job well done I'd say.

Nothing beats those ridiculous Gillette adverts, seriously the names and concepts they come up with, sounds like some ex-pats from the us military have nothing better to do. However they are the manliest adverts on tv, the sheer excessiveness for just a razor, it's poetry. They get a bigger budget than the combined wealth of a small country. I'm already excited about the next one. We've had gillete fusion and stealth, what's next?
 
I hate those adverts where an trout for a 'model' is using this "reduce your skin age by two decades" cream, and she has the world's ugliest face that closely represents a window cleaner's chamois.

Just stupid

The second best ad I've seen in a long while imo. Sure, yes, it has very little to do with the product, but all ads are like that to a certain extent imo.

The 'Stir in yo fibre' ads are annoying too, one was bad enough, but now there's 2 of them around! :mad:

Just for reference, the best add I've seen for a few years, imo, ofc, is the Halo 3 one.
 
"Everyone knows a bloke like Mickey"

Some shampoo ad, hate it with a passion, that muppet needs a slap!

The Gillette Fusion advert was crazy lol
 
I absolutely hate shaving adverts where you see loads of foam on a blokes face, he takes one stroke of his razor and he has a face like a babys bum - aaargh.
