Two truly crap TV ads.
1. Nationwide Airlines -- there's a guy on a Nationwide flight who
hasn't flown Nationwide before. Passengers talk among themselves as if
it's a grand scandal. The tone is conceited, the production dull, and
I anybody truly impressed by cameos from rugby players? (I don't think
I want to hear the answer to that.)
2. Tracker's oh-boy-haven't-we-found-a-lot-of-cars ad. First we see
the cars stacked high to the edge of space, proving that Tracker has
indeed found a lot of cars. Then we see a skydiver dive off the stack,
proving that Tracker has indeed found a lot of cars. Waitasec, that's
the same point... twice. It feels like two weak ads held together with
second-hand masking tape.
Somebody wrote these ads. Several people signed them off.
