Ad rant: Virgin Media - Catch-up TV

I am thoroughly sick and tired of this ad! It really is awful.

Every time it appears at the cinema, the audience groan, and in the words of Chris Rock, "that ain't right!"

I mean, why Mick Hucknall? 

Why the crappy style of CGi?

Is this something to do with the seriously unfunny animated series 'Headcases?' I really hope not.

Everytime I here the Matron figure say "Hey, Mick, Dude" I just cringe.

You know it actually makes me a bit paranoid because I can't help but think "am I missing something here?"

Is this sooooo funny that it's slipped under my humour radar?

Luckily sense prevails and I realise, NO, THIS IS JUST SHIT.

Ad rant: Big Brother - Virgin Mobile Idents

Normally I find brand sponsor idents dull or at the most a little cringey in their attempt to be funny or bizarre, but for the first time in a long while I've actually found these Virgin Mobile idents to be quite funny. Okay, there are a few that seem a bit clanky in their conception, but on the whole they seem to be generally well written and therefore quite humorous.

Well done to the team/copywriter who managed to create some positive thinking about a brand that wouldn't be my first choice of Mobile phone supplier.
