There is 'Dubstep' on the new Weetabix advert

Fucking hate how patronising advertising is, it seems to get constantly worse. When I'm sitting there seeing some fucking parody song about car insurance set to the YMCA music, I just think of some smug fucking bellend sitting in a boardroom getting patted on the back for being a marketing "genius," the worse part being that he probably genuinely believes that he is.

Why the fuck would I want to buy any of you products if your adverts are pretty much you indirectly telling me how much of a impressionable simpleton you think I am?

It's weetabix for fucks sake, it's dried wheat you eat for breakfast. Just tell me it tastes nice and I should try eating it for breakfast and then stfu.

lol its not aimed at you mate. its aimed at impressionable young kids about the age of the girl in the ad.

its a genius piece of advertising for lots of reasons, but patronising it's not.

this advert is aimed at kids who haven't even hit their teens yet

its not exactly shocking that no one on this board will be WHOA THATS AMAZINGLY COOL THANKS WEETABIX, nor is it surprising that Weetabix didn't choose to roll with the latest Hot Flush release to market their cereal....

agreed

im gona get flamed for this

but

the tune isn't THAT bad.

its really not.

and agreed. I mean, theres some melody in there and its not horrible. be happy that it isnt this:

that kind of dubstep fits that kind of advertising

You should be happy thats the type that gets advertising Instead of Mala trying to sell you a Fiat.

That was pointless. Every kid in the UK already knows that Weetabix is absolute shit.

And that tune sounded like Gemini. Fucking awful

Can't imagine Kode 9 selling cameras. Telescopes, yes. Cameras, no.

I'd buy a telescope off Kode 9. He seems like he'd know about that sort of thing.

Is this going to end up as a "things that we would buy off certain producers" thread? It was inevitable really, a long time coming.

Seems like a good idea.

I'd buy Loafers off Loefah, and Malibu off Mala.
