Tesco Advert - Is It The Worst Advert Ever?

[lankeela]

Terrible accents and makes me want to throw a brick at the tv

I remember when there was a bit of a hoo ha about the ethics of using the late Steve McQueen in the Ford Puma ad because the actor couldn't consent to being associated with a product. Seems to be commonplace now and the big companies don't care about ethics.

Oh right, I see, well worth getting upset to the point of violence about.

The Tesco advert is utter sacrilege - but the Aldi one entertained me so the song worked. Still wouldn't shop there though.

It’s an insult to a classic movie. A lack of respect, like overdubbing the Queen. And so poorly executed.

An insult to a classic movie. It shows a lack of respect, as if they were overdubbing the Queen. And poorly executed too.

The worst ever imitation of Bogart.

[MidnightVoice]

Maybe Sainsbury’s should do one based on the end of Thelma and Louise, with them overdubbed as saying “I’m damned if I ever go to Tesco again!” and “Me neither!”

[emmie]

its a poor ad and should be binned.

@Emmie Could you explain your pointers as to why you've come to the conclusion as to why you feel the ad does nothing for their brand ?
I've done my own short review of it here:
