I would like to know exactly who the target audience is, who pays to listen to classical music and then drowns it all out by blowing a whistle. Just so that I can avoid them generally in life.
That chap in the Heinz beans advert annoyed me within the first 10 seconds (yes, that long), the first time I saw it. In spite of my best efforts the adverts do slip through now and again. When my OH saw it, he said "No wonder he's holidaying on his own". I confess to liking the Haribo advert with the 2 policemen "talking" in children's voices. My late Mum had dementia,and for some reason this really made her smile. It was shown a lot after she died and I found it really bittersweet. To get back on topic, later Haribo adverts using the same technique drove me crazy as I couldn't make out a word they were saying, unlike the police one .
I've not seen this Heinz advert... but then, I barely watch TV at all. Heinz own tins are enough to persuade me not to buy their products if at all possible as the ruddy things won't stack!
Todays Heinz Beans are nothing like the original. Watching one of the "Inside the Factory" programmes ( always interesting if you could ignore the presenter ) which dealt with the Heinz beans production reminded me how much they had changed. I always have a book to hand when watching TV, mute the ads when they come on and read. I glance at the screen occasionally in order that I can put the sound back on when the ads are finished. I'm obviously not missing much.
