This year's advertising has produced some magic, alongside some utter dog shit. Take a look below at my round-up of 2015.
THE BEST
1. GEICO
The message is quick and the action is bizarre enough to hold your attention. Just goes to show you don't need an insufferable opera-singing cunt to sell car insurance.
2. Amazon
I admit I'm a fan of Clarkson, so maybe I'm being a little biased here. But the humour makes this simple ad work brilliantly.
3. SAMDEX
This is how advertising should be - method in the madness. All of these spots are great, if you have time you should check them out.
4. Squatty Potty
The weirdness made it viral, and the logic sold units. In fact, sales increased by 600%
1. Head & Shoulders
I cringe so hard at this, I'm ashamed to even have it on my blog. If you ever need an excuse to turn your telly off and kill yourself. This is it.
2. Stoner Sloth
I'd have the same reaction as the sloth if someone was talking about wearing socks and sandals out of the house. How is that funny? Just shut the fuck up! Whoever wrote the script clearly wasn't high enough.
3. Tesco
This whole series of ads is bollocks - unfunny, annoying dribble. Come on Tesco, your advertising budget must be big enough to produce something better than this.
4. Windows
This is truly laughable. Clean Bandit either can't act or can't be bothered. Probably both. What an embarrassment, the whole thing stinks.
What is happening to advertising? I hope to see the good ads outweigh the bad next year. Wishful thinking? Only time will tell. Thanks to those of you who have been following me in 2015. Make sure you stay tuned in 2016.
In the meantime, I hope you all get absolutely plastered for New Year. Have a good un!
