Well normally I'm quite happy with my Tesco's teabags at 26p per-box, but if John says that Yorkshire tea is the way to go, then I'll give it a try. Will report back when I've bought my first box and sampled the tea contained within....
im so sorry john! i have tried yorkshire tea, 2 boxes! (not bought together i might ad, 2 journeys) but it just didnt feel right, youve to leave it much longer to brew (i think the bags restricting it) so last night in morrisons, despite the fact that pg tips carries a 34p price premium, ive gone back to pg.
so good!! hilarious. thisa guy is a genius! and yes, instead of this super geezer, we have those two ponsy oxbridge cunts from peep show, and that twat Walliams as mentioned.
I absolutely agree-the Industry these days is so Industry they have forgotten what they are actually there to do which is communicate with a potential audience not sit around and tell themselves they know better than anyone who doesnt work in the industry and because of this we all have to suffer Little Britain endlessly and the like,whilst geniuses like Graham Fellows just get put down!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It has nothing to do with "working" in the industry. I made the point, in MY opinion, that I thought THAT particular commercial was awful. It was MY opinion only. Great though to see the debate my comment started!
MacSel1: "dreadful commercial, cheap, horrible, shoddy camera work" yet EVERYONE seems to like it.
You work 'in the industry'? As far as i can see and from what i've read you have no clue!
This advert is everything it was intended to be...This advert is pure excellence... Your assessment is at best poor.
The quality of adverts are far superior and entertaining now than ever. it has nothing to do with budget. which isn't a valid arguement as we invest more in to creative development than ever
Great ad, tried to recreate it on my own keyboard from memory and created my own interpretation of the song to annoy my wife (using C, F& G chords). Love the creativity and intelligence behind this ad, it's a refreshing antidote to the inane aspirational cr@p we get from Gillette or car manufacturers who treat the public like morons whom they can dazzle with special effects or expensive production values.
Sadly not only is there little money in the making of commercials, but also in film making as a whole. When you see the quality of a lot of commercials it is poor. New films coming out are also thin on the ground. I think your language is not necessary and no it is not the best ad on the tv by a long chalk in terms of quality filming etc, but whatever rocks your boat. I wonder if you are the type to watch that anal crap Big Brother? Says a lot about what people watch these days.
The point I was making was the quality of commercials now on the TV. So many are animated and commercials like one of them for car/house ins and a window commercial are terrible. Commercials used to be like mini features. Everything is done on small budgets with no content. I only comment on them because we make them and sadly its a sign of our times. I suppose it depends what you are looking for, but being in the business you notice it far more than maybe other people do.
Can I hear backpedalling? You went in all guns blazing and made an arse of yourself. John Shuttleworth is funny *because* he is hopeless; I take it you've never listened to any of his previous material.
Go and make your boring pseud judgments somewhere else.
No you cant hear backpedalling! I still stand by what I said because it is a dreadful commercial, cheap, horrible, shoddy camera work need I go on? The point was not the "man" himself but the commercial. And to your final point - no I have not listened to his previous material and given the angle of the commercial I wouldn't as apart from the above I don't find it remotely funny. The guns are still blazing re commercials - that is my bread and butter.
It shows. You need to because you don't understand what you're criticising; no wonder adverts are shit, with the likes of you making them. Why not go and talk to your family or something? You're boring, and I'm just going to start calling you gay.
What a pathetic reply! We don't write the scripts we film AFTER the agency and client have decided their format, from a storyboard. We can only film what we are told to. When budgets are cheap you get boys doing a mans job, which is partly why our BRITISH film industry is in the state it is in and commercials shot on video and not film because it's cheap. Judging from your last comment I think you're giving your age away! Bedtime soon? I understand completely what I'm critising YOU dont!
Jesus Christ. Go and LISTEN to some of Graham Fellows' (as John Shuttleworth) material. Then come back and tell me that the production values aren't spot on.
Now you really are being pathetic and are not not worth talking to - funny how now you are out of your depth you decend to talking rubbish. And you started off so well. I think we know who the failure is here don't we! Back to school me thinks and for some spelling lessons. Perhaps you should learn the lesson never to criticise those who actually know more than you as now you look stupid.
You're funny. 'Bow to dow teh Advret king' is a take on how kids get all het up and type any old shit when they're arguing, you may not have come across it. Trying to patronise me won't work and neither will criticising my spelling as you'll notice I can spell perfectly well. Look up 'fail', look up 'teh' and don't rely on being able to bullshit your way out of an argument. You haven't listened to Graham Fellows so you don't know what you're talking about.
Who said anything about arguing? Your back to talking about the "person" not the technical content of commercials in general. I don't need to bullshit my way out of anything and if you feel patronised thats your problem, not mine. If you knew anything about the art of film making this "discussion" could go on, but clearly you have no idea at all, so I rest my case.
Pick your case back up then, you are bullshitting; you came in, saying how beastly this advert is and now you're trying to digress into an area you're comfortable with. We aren't talking about film-making, we are talking about THIS advert, for which the production methods are entirely appropriate.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
From other comments I seem to be in the minority - dreadful cheap commercial. Would put me buying Yorkshire tea - that is if I drank Yorkshire Tea. And the latest one with John wanting to eat cake as well.... what can I say. Bring back quality commercials that are well shot. They used to be like mini feature films the quality generally is now so poor and badly made. A sign of people wanting something for very little money. Sad.
this is the best advert atm along with the pg tips with the chimp and the other yorkshire tea advert (cartoon one) I love these adverts, so relaxing :D
I can't remember the number of times i've fixed our bloody washing line.......... Should have had a proper English cup of tea.... :0)...........these ads are so cool....soooooooo cool. ;0)
I would think the number of illiterate folk posting on youtube would be more embarrassing to the people of Yorkshire, rather than this gentle, satirical and talented bit of humour from a bloke born in Sheffield who still plays to packed venues in Yorkshire
Ken Worthington is Johns next door neighbour and sole agent.He appeared on New faces in the early 70`s with his wife rhiannon but Tony Hatch crucified him.........
if you ask me ken probably didn't swing this for john, i think he'd be too scared to tlak to the yorkshire tea people. it was probably john's ledgend that enticed them!
I am a coffee drinker but I shall now be making time for tea, such is the persuasive power of the Shuttleworth. This is the first time an advert has ever excited me. Well done Ken Worthington.
@mikecsvu 95% of the time David Walliams is on TV he's doing charity work and raising money, so I fail to see how he can be called a cunt.
