Ferrero Rocher: Sad News

Dudley · 13 October, 2003, 05:31:58 PM

I'm afraid that they are re-making the Ferrero Rocher adverts.

Using English actors (no dubbing)
Without the phrase "Weeeeeth theeeeeese chocolates you are reeeeeally spoioioiling uzzzz"
Without the golden pyramid of Ferrero Rocher.

So what's the point? Well, the advertising scumbags believe that because everyone liked the old ones, they'll like the new ones MORE, as long as none of the embarassing bits are in there.

Advertising people: kill yourselves.

The bastards aint spoioioiling uzzzz no more!!!

It was on last night, during Tarrant on TV. And I was right - it's absolutely awful but without the in-yer-face awfulness that made their Ambassador ad so memorable.

What! you lie!

There is a big (in fact bloody huge) pyramid of chocks and a 'you are spoiling us' line in there...

but it's all done in such a nudge-nudge 'let's laugh at how crap the old ad was' way it makes me wanna but my foot through the telly.

Didn't hear "you are spoiling us", so my apologies there. They've kept the huge pile of chocs purely in order to encourage students to create "ironic" homages by buying sodding loads of their product.

Boycott the Rocher!

Ferrero Rocher is actually a fairly unpleasant chocolate that tastes of cardboard. What kind of posh ambassador would give his posh guests chocolate you can get in a supermarket?

paulvonscott · 15 October, 2003, 07:20:15 PM

I dunno, I used to like them a lot! In fact I probably ate more than was good for me as I'm not as keen on them now. Any sort of Hazelnutty/praline chocolatey thing has to be good. And the cardboard texture is nice too.

Chocolate should never be wrapped in foil.

It makes my fillings hurt just looking at it.

complain? boycott the product ? imagine if the whole world was kindof like this site, you could go to the rocher site & say, OY NO !, or Tony Blairs site & say OY NO ! and then there would be democracy & accountability & a lack of stupid new adverts that will be rubbish.

ahhhhh, but then every site , for every subject would get its own obbsessive stalky arguey spammy nutjob who would dominate & drive everyone else away, so the bosses wouldnt listen, & we'd be back to square one. Damn those nut jobs. sigh.

damn those nutty chocolates that taste like chipboard.

This whole sorry business reminds me of when they tried to do an "ironic" version of the Shake n Vac ad.

longmanshort · 24 October, 2003, 04:30:58 AM

Though if you listen very very hard, you can actually hear someone say 'But you are really spoiling us'.

Trying to be ironic is possibly worse than anything ....

ANYTHING!!!!!!
