Awesome advert

DanaC · 04-23-2011, 05:53 AM

I'm putting this here rather than in the Funny Youtube Clips thread, because I think it's brilliant.

It's a T-Mobile advert. Not sure if you guys have come accross it yet. It's one of the very few adverts drawing on the upcoming Royal Wedding that hasn't made me gag :p Very funny.

Charlie Brooker talked about this on Thursday night.
I think he wanted to kill the people responsible.

I'm now torn and don't know what to think.
Please can someone tell me?!

I got it from him :p

I didnt' get the impression he wanted to kill the people responsible. I think he reserved his most visceral attack for the news coverage.

I don't care though. Mr Brooker and I will have to disagree (for a rarity) on this :p I thought it was fucking funny.

Lauren Laverne didn't agree with us about that Australian kid trying to kill the bully, did you see? It made me sad.

But yes, I really laughed at that American trailer he showed.
All those photos of Diana. Barf barf.

The plastic presenter was amazing. There was literally not a single natural feature on show.

I thought it was great. Loved it.

I am so anal. I watched 10 o'clock live AGAIN, just to catch the quote.
Well, it's hardly a chore.

In fact it wasn't Brooker (I stand corrected, sir!) it was Mitchell.

Quote:

"So. The Monarchy. Well, I used to be a Monarchist, and then I saw the T-Mobile "Life is for Sharing" Royal Wedding dance routine viral and I realised that any institution that can induce that to exist must be evil. So I propose we get all the senior members of the Royal Family and the marketing executives of T-Mobile and machine gun them in the same cellar*."

* not likely to be this one

Now I know it's David Mitchell, I'm happy to like it again

Hahahaha.

I love Mitchell though. I think he's marvellous. But i don't find myself as firmly in agreement with him as I do with Brooker generally.

Love it. It would be Sooooooo cool if they really did that. So much fun.

DanaC · 04-26-2011, 04:32 PM

I think if that was what it was, I'd watch it all lol.
