I mostly agree with you, but having advertisers state when images have been enhanced in post production is actually good - otherwise the wrinkle creams, etc can show ridiculous before and after shots, and the little disclaimer - individual results may vary...
the other one i love is on stuff like bags of nuts or bottles of milk. may contain nuts or may contain milk. well NAH. and then they can say contains no nuts and then beneath they put cannot guarantee nut free
Yes that's true rich but advertisers put that there so basically if something goes wrong there's no way you can sue them. Like if the bag showed a nice bottle of wine and a plate with whatever was on it on the package and the person said wheres the plate and wine they would sue them for the wine :P
I dont know if this counts but I found a little baggie that I could only fit my two filngers into that had a suffocation hazard on it (aka the picture of the baby with the bag on the head)! Not to be mistaken with the choking hazard witch is different.
i love this video! its all so true. How about when the product says "enlarged to show detail". Yes, i really thought my multi grain cheerios were as big as a raspberry and spoon!
thats funny and very comically acted out....but the ugly thing about those disclaimers is not because we are thought of as idiots but because so many file lawsuits for no reason they are done as a way to protect the companies from trolls that search for ways to take advantage of the legal system, such as people who buy a hot cup of coffee and then sue the restaurant because they burn their lips trying to drive and drink piping hot coffee at the same time!!!!
uhhhhh,i agree with everything you said, i was wacthing an infomercial,on some type of blender,and they had some real people sitting around a kicthen counter,and one person would say,ow,thats amazing but can it,do mix drinks?!!!!and the guy would say im so glad you asked that!!!!!And bam,he would go on this scripted bla,bla,bla.Its all so fake and scripted!!!!And the vacuum infomercials,uhhhhh,dont get me going....lol.
oh don't get me started with infomercials, fortunately we don't have that many over here but we do have loads of those darn shoping channels that patronise us beyond belief!! think I'll stick to watching Youtube LOL
kailea23-i dont remember what it was called,you can make a meal really quick,and mix drinks or desserts and eat them of the cups it was made in,it must be the one youre talking about,they do look like a bullet.The vacuum ones are hilarious,when they pick up,dry dirt from a hard floor,ow,lol.I must admit,i sold a brand of vacuums door to door when i was younger,and we had so many tricks up our sleeve.
I've always been amazed at advertising and the marketing industry. They assume we all are incredibly stupid. That says a lot about them. They're inadvertently saying that people who buy their products are stupid. The thing I find to be the funniest is that they are now labeling advertisements. As if we expected Toucan Sam to ACTUALLY be missing and assumed it was a news article. I mean, if they didn't, people would be running in the streets looking for him. Good thing they told us it's an ad.
i was waching dave the other night and at the start 2 kids play with a frisbie and then at the end it says at the bottom of the screen it says frisbie not included (how dumb are we?)
I personally like looking at beautiful women advertising products I may be interested in, I don't want to see Miss average.
I get more offended the way men are advertised to, especially the linx adverts, they objectify women and make them act like whores, all for the dumb skinny ugly guy who sprays on a bit of linx!
Speaking as an ex hair stylist, celeb hair colour adverts make me laugh, like I really believe that they use nasty box colour,lol!
I personally know that the mascara/hair/skin product model has fake eyelashes etc on and her skin, eyes etc are digitally enhanced in Photoshop to look perfection, but I have to admit, I like the fantasy!
Dude.. People ARE this stupid. You're a genius compared to the majority.
You heard about the lady that sued McDonalds for the coffee being hot right? She had spilled it on herself and got burned so because no one said it was going to be hot she sued them.
That is how dumb some people are.
This is why they have to put disclaimers on things.
Now the movie ones I don't understand, unless someone sued a movie company because they didn't say what was going to be in the movie. ???
Hehe, you are funny. My favourite's are the pictures in fast food restaurants. You see a lovely burger, painstakingly prepared and makes your mouth water just looking at it........open the box, what have you got. A cross between roadkill and lard.
Agreed, we shouldn't have to have these types of "warnings/disclaimers" on our products. It's absolutely and incredibly silly. It almost looks like a running gag between advertisers.
Hi Pamela, you may be on to something there with a gag between advertisers for the most ridiculous disclaimers/claims! Maybe they hold a secret award ceremony each year lol
the nuts warning makes me laugh, what about people with alergies to for instance milk, why not shove a warning on the nut packet sayong 'may contain milk' just in case lol
A survey by Johnsons Baby products done several years ago said '8/10 midwives asked said they used Johnsons products on their babies'. Given that , as midwives we are forbidden to endorse any products, I wonder which midwives they asked.
LMAO oh some class ones there Penny!! I don't understand things like drowsiness warnings on a product designed for that purpose, the world's gone mad!!!
'Here comes the science bit' has had me nearly bust the telly in a apoplectic rage - I'm a trained scientist and a woman with hair. There's a serving suggestion on spam, amazingly enough you're meant to take it out of the tin, that seemed to be their suggestion, big help. Cotton wool is spot on. The kids at nursery were shown pictures and asked to point out dangers. They said football was bad as people could fall down or the ball may hit them? My kids are clambering about on a boat thank god. L
Thank you so much Lesley! that's where I've been going wrong, take the spam OUT of the tin lol!! That phrase here comes the science bit makes me laugh..made up science! Now as for kids at school having to wear goggles whilst playing conkers aggghhh
thanks so much for the repsonse Matt! much appreciated, took a while to reply to htis as my girlfriend's been in hospital but she is OK thank goodness! Have a great weekend!
I still like the way your country tells you when you buy a pack of "fags" that SMOKING KILLS in large print. VS. Over here, you really have to look hard to find a warning.
haha Glee, maybe they did just take sections out of Welsh Rail stations and plant names! A perpetual source of scientific names for the unimaginative scientists! LOL
holly crap i couldnt stop laughing. and rolled off my bed. how rude. hehe. they have to cover there own asses you know. we became a sue happy nation over here anyways. aint that some crap. warning nothing is what it seems. ahhhhhhaaaaaa. if i make a product ill put bullshiteum as a ingredence just for her. im gonna share this with my friends. this is too much. peace. gregg
LOL I love those warnings on microwave food Mary..may be hot, well doh! Now as for the science 'bloke' well it would have to be a bloke to pontificate as that seems to be what we blokes are good at, pontificaton and procrastination...women scientisits would just get on and get the job done!
We talking about this very thing this morning ("warning: when heated, contents may be hot") is a typical thing...to call this stupid is, as A Fish Called Wanda had it, "an insult to stupid people"!
Same with pictures of food here..if I ever went to a fast food establishment and was served something like I see in the ads, I think I'd pass out from shock! LOL! Jack
now that IS a scientific survey Phekwig and just proves the point, if I have any questions to ask of the general public I will fire them your way to ask your fares for their response!
This was hilarious Rich! The bad thing is, you're absolutely right! People are going crazy with under-informing and over-informing, never just enough information, always too little or too much! How hard can it be to get something so simple, right!?
Haha, it's a sorry truth that to parody adverts, they'd have to be done correctly rather than in a bodged-up fashion! I bet you could make some good parodies.
this is my absolutely favourite video of yours yet, Rich :) more exactly like this, please! EXACTLY like it! DUPLICATES!
Nah, but it is my favourite, tho :) It makes me laugh when they blatantly used shiny foundation-drizzled actors posing as real members of the public in those 'I fell off a roof, and then my face came off' compensation ads.
Hey Jim agreed..PAH telly!! now as for this vid I will do EXACTLY the same vid and re-upload it tomorrow hehehe no joking or am I? I have to get real passionate about a subject to do a vid like this but fortunately for you lot I get passionate about a lot of things so thanks to your encouragement may do more!! cheers mate!
Actually Dasia you have a very valid point. People latch onto this 'claims' culture. I employed a man who tried to claim this that and the other and made a whole career out of it after investigation. So who are the stupid ones? He got a very nice house, motor home and all sorts out of his previous activities ..makes you wonder!
More worryingly Peter it was a fly and it was HUGE!!! we are absolutely inundated with the buggers at the moment (living so close to open fields n stuff) I feel a Lord of the Flies video coming on......
Hi Alex, maybe it was a bit of an overreaction but seriously when I watch these ads it drives me mad (as my girlfriend will testify LOL!!) I spose I just came from a generation that if you bought an electrical product and you tinkered with the electrics, you knew you could get electrocuted! and so on lol
Heh...main pet peeve of mine is slimming commercials where the "models" go from average-looking to buff and muscular just from taking some flipping PILLS!
No herb or extract is capable of doubling muscle mass and dissolving fat all on their own. A lot of the photos seem to be enhanced in PRE-production, because the women's busts hardly change while they lose 50 lbs. everywhere else in the "after" photo. Any real woman knows that the bust is the FIRST to go on a diet!!
I hadn't even spotted that one Mel! but on a similar note, healthy foods have the disclaimer 'helps reduce weight loss ONLY as part of a calorie controlled diet' well heck I thought I could have a bowl of bran flakes and eat burgers for the rest of the day lol! Just like a piece of lettuce makes a fat filled Mcdonalds healthy!
you know it Festerius! Another one they are now using over here for showing bacteria in the mouth 'not actual footage, artist's representation' or something along those lines!!
Oh my goodness,.. you brought up so many points. I loved it. ;-) I still think the "warning Coffee is HOT" on the McDonalds cup is funny by the way. It happens due to a lawsuit though. I bet you have read about it before. 5 stars!
well latin is realy usefull mabye u get kidnapped and u have ur phone on but the police on the place u got kidnapped are all latin,and mabye a mutant plants try 2 get over the world and then we need 2 kno ther weekness we learned in school,but why do someppl have 2 learn about rocks?thats the most stupid thing i ever kno u have 2 learn ITS A ROCK!! it doesnt move it doesnt have a life it just lays there and ppl are like''hmm im gonna make my life purpose to learning about this rock!''humans-.-
Hi Sammy, I would die laughing if a product came on TV one day actually quoting Bulshittium as an ingredient! If I was a teacher though I would definitely add it to the periodic table in my science class!! hehe
WEll done my friend! You have got me on my soapbox! I hate those adverts that tell you about car insurance , but really gets me are those adverts that show that crap little knight that sings the telephone number of his company he is advertising! I think its the 0800 00 thing? You know the one! That really annoys me! Grrrrr!

oh gee LMAO all the cliches in one comment, I used to love Carol Voderman before she sold out to debt consolidation ads, being so smart at maths she should be able to work out that the loans advertised are not a cheap way to deal with that kind of thing!! sooo disappointed with her! By the way I think I am paying too much for the car insurance..I'll call one of your operators now with the deeds to my house at hand.

This was hilarious Rich! The bad thing is, you're absolutely right! People are going crazy with under-informing and over-informing, never just enough information, always too little or too much! How hard can it be to get something so simple, right!?
Matban92 3 years ago
so true Matban! how hard can it be to get the balance right?? we should set up a channel to show how adverts SHOULD be done!!
richw4 3 years ago
Haha, it's a sorry truth that to parody adverts, they'd have to be done correctly rather than in a bodged-up fashion! I bet you could make some good parodies.
Matban92 3 years ago
this is my absolutely favourite video of yours yet, Rich :) more exactly like this, please! EXACTLY like it! DUPLICATES!
Nah, but it is my favourite, tho :) It makes me laugh when they blatantly used shiny foundation-drizzled actors posing as real members of the public in those 'I fell off a roof, and then my face came off' compensation ads.
Pah, telly!
jimjeroo 3 years ago
Hey Jim agreed..PAH telly!! now as for this vid I will do EXACTLY the same vid and re-upload it tomorrow hehehe no joking or am I? I have to get real passionate about a subject to do a vid like this but fortunately for you lot I get passionate about a lot of things so thanks to your encouragement may do more!! cheers mate!

thank you mary! I'll try and give you a few more laughs later in the week actually in a few minutes...off to make another vid...
richw4 3 years ago
Actually Dasia you have a very valid point. People latch onto this 'claims' culture. I employed a man who tried to claim this that and the other and made a whole career out of it after investigation. So who are the stupid ones? He got a very nice house, motor home and all sorts out of his previous activities ..makes you wonder!

Hi Alex, maybe it was a bit of an overreaction but seriously when I watch these ads it drives me mad (as my girlfriend will testify LOL!!) I spose I just came from a generation that if you bought an electrical product and you tinkered with the electrics, you knew you could get electrocuted! and so on lol
richw4 3 years ago
its not that we're stupid, its just the stupid people who sue the companies for not putting obvious stuff on the box!
lol but other than that, very funny vid! =]

Heh...main pet peeve of mine is slimming commercials where the "models" go from average-looking to buff and muscular just from taking some flipping PILLS!
No herb or extract is capable of doubling muscle mass and dissolving fat all on their own. A lot of the photos seem to be enhanced in PRE-production, because the women's busts hardly change while they lose 50 lbs. everywhere else in the "after" photo. Any real woman knows that the bust is the FIRST to go on a diet!!

I hadn't even spotted that one Mel! but on a similar note, healthy foods have the disclaimer 'helps reduce weight loss ONLY as part of a calorie controlled diet' well heck I thought I could have a bowl of bran flakes and eat burgers for the rest of the day lol! Just like a piece of lettuce makes a fat filled Mcdonalds healthy!

richw4 3 years ago
Oh my goodness,.. you brought up so many points. I loved it. ;-) I still think the "warning Coffee is HOT" on the McDonalds cup is funny by the way. It happens due to a lawsuit though. I bet you have read about it before. 5 stars!

WEll done my friend! You have got me on my soapbox! I hate those adverts that tell you about car insurance , but really gets me are those adverts that show that crap little knight that sings the telephone number of his company he is advertising! I think its the 0800 00 thing? You know the one! That really annoys me! Grrrrr!

By the way...are YOU paying too much for YOUR car insurance?
Also, why not consolidate YOUR debt into one easy monthly payment of the life of your first born and your immortal soul?
Operators are standing by...
alanpgoodwin 3 years ago
oh gee LMAO all the cliches in one comment, I used to love Carol Voderman before she sold out to debt consolidation ads, being so smart at maths she should be able to work out that the loans advertised are not a cheap way to deal with that kind of thing!! sooo disappointed with her! By the way I think I am paying too much for the car insurance..I'll call one of your operators now with the deeds to my house at hand.
