I have just spotted Go compare advert for singing pigs, something strange happened. Near the end of the advert the screen pulls back to seing a woman holding a teacake and cup of tea in seat watching the advert. The woman seems very disgusted with the advert. Then a LED Countdown appear for 2nd July..
* what happening?
* Is any other adverts effect?

Hopefully that means the fat lady has finally stopped singing.
There's been posters about this too. Basically we are getting new ads but think Gio is staying because it says on the poster look out for my new ads. I like the bit in the commercial where the man is trying to change the channel. I also like seeing the earlier ads again especially the first one.
I think they need to come up with a new concept. Every few weeks it's just the same song with different pictures. At least with the Meerkats every advert remains fresh and never fails to make me giggle each time.
Every time this man comes on and starts singing "Go Compare, Go Compare" I just roll my eyes and hit mute.

Its obviously a concept that works well otherwise they wouldn't have kept it. It's possibly one of the most irritating things ever on TV but the song is a very good advertisement concept. A lot of other companies do it too and quite effectively (Moonpig, We Buy Any Car etc).
'We-Baa-Enee-Caa-Dort-Corm' was exceptionally successful at being irritating.
'From-Fiftee-Quid-Toa-Hun-Drid-PAAAAAAAAND'
You're all singing it... 'Enee-Enee-Enee-Enee-We-Baa-Enee-Caa-Dort-Corm'
I think what it gets down to is that Advertisers want their adverts to become part of the popular culture, now whilst the majority will find these ads irritating, if the ads lead to an increase in sales then they are deemed a success.
'En-Teh-Yo-Reg-Num-Bah-NAAAAAAAA'
Even the fact we are talking about Monday 2nd July is a boon to advertisers because its EXACTLY what they want.
