It is indeed toilet.

Yep, nice.

Hey Mr Toilet, Mr Poo Poo, Mr Shitty Shit, could you be a little more expansive?

It's cute. It looks like the first idea to come out of their heads but sometimes they're the good ones.

that old chestnut - yawn!

Agree, pretty good.

Gee, I've never seen the Sistene Chapel artwork used for commercial purposes like that before.

Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffresh!

That's a good unpretentious fun ad. While, you 1.33pm are indeed toilet.

Yeah, come on Mr Toilet. What would you have done?

Nice. Punters will love this ad. Old 1.33pm toilet can go flush himself.

alot better my friend alot better.

crap smeared on a wall for one.

Yeah, I like this ad too. Sure the Sistene Chapel's been done before, but for footy? Nope. That makes it ffffffffffffresh to me. Anyway, where's Mr Toilet? He's keeping quiet. Probably straining out another shit ad, the arsehole.

6:28pm A lot more than you.
The only Lions you'll ever see are in Tooronga, if you think this is good.

The sistene chapel idea comes third in the 'things most used things to base a crap ad on' according to my list.

First ofcourse is any ad using 'The running of the bulls."

Second, I would say, is any ad using sumo wrestlers.

It astounds me that generation after generation of creatives are allowed to leap to their feet and say..."I've got it... a guy in a RED shirt, geddit? RED shirt gets away from the bulls by drinking (insert product here) "

Shall we compile a top ten?...I get the feeling Jack Russell's are up there after their Ikea succes 8 years ago, and any ad where greyhounds are chasing anything other than the rabbit. I think that was first used for Reebok in 1941...

Discuss.

There needs to be a United Nations ban on advertising that uses the 'art of' idea. It has to be the oldest idea in the book.

re: 10.05pm

C'mon there are more obvious one's than that:

Moon landing (one small step for man)

Nuns or monks (renouncing religion for said product)

Monkeys doing things instead of people

10.05pm, you are a fool and a toilet.

i don't love the ad or anything, but isn't the journo's name michelangelo? surely that makes the sistine chapel gag at least relevant, if not a little tired.

11.35 - if his name is Michelangelo then that makes the ad even worse.

It's now a shit visual pun.

Any bank ad with a premise based on "We show more 'interest' in your business "etc

JUST NOT VERY GOOD

Without a doubt, the most overused ad-cliche in the world is:

There's an easier way to...

If they gave out royalties for inventing ad devices, the guy who came up with that one would be almost as wealthy as warren brown.

Sat nav ads that 'tell you where to go'

You forget the old Swiss army knife execution.
And the medicinal blister pack execution.

Dear 10.18

Fruit costumes?

So what am I going to do with my $600 banana suit now?

Don't forget:

Things falling down like dominos
Photocopiers not working
Cars driving on curvy roads
Cats that rub against your leg
Sandcastles
Sentences that begin with 'There's a better way...'
Sentences that begin with 'Need a...'
People juggling stuff with their feet as if it was a soccerball.
Expert in a lab coat

"In an ever changing world..."

And are you even allowed to pass the ball to another player in AFL? I thought you had to punt it?

So, not only is it as hackneyed as a concept can be, but it's also not an accurate depiction of the game.

Was this somebody's first thought, or what?

Christ 10.18 and 12.01

You've just described my folio.

But you've left out my front page piece:

"If only....."

and my 'Monopoly' DM idea.

and don't forget my bikers on harleys/guys in prison campagin.

is there a writers strike on this blog?

He's not passing it numbnuts (12:11).
God here is clearly giving Adam "a sniff" of the ball presumably before ducking the other way to checkside a snag from the pocket. A la G.Ablett v G.Ayers.

Ads with lots of people
Ending ads with a guy saying "What?"

now i'm able to go horseriding again

Lynchy, new blog topic. Top 50 'ideas' to be avoided by award students. We have plenty already.

Free content for the mag, mate.

How about...."Welll (insert pathos)...maybe the 2nd most etc etc"

What about that stupid little "boy that's good' tilt of the head abeer drinkers do in ads after their first sip.

"The freedom to......................"

Oh, cringe.

You're all idiots.

Creatives new to the industry might like to ponder whether having Michelangelo hold a paintbrush and palette at the bottom enhances the concept or not.

People making shapes carrying their freshly painted walls.

People with deformities (exaggerated muscular arms, big ears, big eyes, long necks, short necks, long arms or legs, hunchbacks.)
People with animal heads or appendages.
People seeing or hearing things that aren't there.
Animals that talk. (or that you can hear think aloud)
Babies that talk.
Inanimate objects that talk or feel.
Kids acting like adults.

A town suddenly and spontaneously partaking in a group activity, usually sport or fighting (usually an eastern-block or south American looking town).

Any 'hilarious' situation with a copy line like..."There is an easier way to ..etc etc"
Even more annoying is when the voice over hits the 'is' with chuckle.

That town activity is usually quite bizarre, like building a giant glass of Guinness in the middle of the Andes.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!

It is a turd and worse still their attempts at polishing it have been mismanaged as it still looks like crap. And yes agreed 'the art of' line and the showing the writer with a paint brush, mmmm.... It now wreaks of crap.

What is it doing on the blog? Oh yes, Lynchy wanted to feed something to the hungry bloggers. You got served.

Keep going though, you'll get there.

you forgot
a women giving birth and a nervous expecting dad with video camera and
two guys checking out two girls on the beach, one guy smacks the other in the head.

new rule - to avoid getting creamed by peers, if it ain't news worthy don't try to make it news worthy.

kwap!

7.18, "reeks" is the correct spelling. Sloppy. You need to spend more time polishing your turds.

Ads featuring an ad agency or obscure research institute of some sort, especially when shot doco style.

Ads with fat kids with their glasses skewed and a cap at a jaunty angle

Chefs.

"Everything else seems..." is my favourite.

'Michaelango', didn't he play soccer?
