First time I saw it I cringed, second time it really annoyed me after that I wondered if the makers realised how poor it is then it dawned on me I was talking to another person about it and that it had achieved their goal for publicity.
Indeed. In so many contexts it is very easy to forget that it is often the case that "any publicity (even 'bad publicity') is good publicity"! However ...
This seems to be increasingly common with TV adds. There are a good few which I "know very well", sometimes finding them interesting or amusing, and sometimes 'technically impressive' (and could often 'hum the tunes' and/or recite some of the dialogue) but in relation to which I haven't got a clue as to who/what they are advertising. Hence, whilst they might have 'entertained' me in some senses, they have surely failed miserably in what they were (presumably) trying to achieve?
I recall talking about this at work and with who so i think it had to be 1974-75.
You're almost back far enough to the days when shoe shops (Clarks and otherwise) encouraged children to 'play with X-ray machines'!
Heck
I don't remember that.
