3 mobile phone adverts
Discussion
That's it, I just don't get it. What the hell does a singing cherry have to do with a mobile phone newtwork? Or a huge bloody jellyfish being fed some sort of liquid by two blokes who look like Peruvian farmers? I mean, come on, does anyone else get this or I am just being a cretin?!

That is a fair point, but the problem is that some advertising campaigns gain attention but turn people off to the product or service. The problem mainly comes when the campaign damages or trivialises the image of the product.
The old adage "All publicity is good publicity" is not really true.
Ask David Blunkett.

This is true though I think that the target audience of young fashionable people would find this style of marketing appealing, especially when used in conjunction with the more in-depth price deals in print and the TV adverts aping comedy flash movies, which
are mainstream and dependable yet still appear to be avant garde to the average consumer.
I like those, but much prefer the anime style ones with the panda :P
Ok they have nothing to do with phones, who cares, I like them.
Some of the best adverts imho have sod all to do with their subject material, merely associate them with something cool, fun, funny or interesting.
The citroen advert for example where the car changes into a dancing robot? Nothing to do with the car, but great a ad.
All imho of course...

Anyone know what the music is, from the singing cherry one? Sounds like the Beach Boys but can't be...
Edited to add I was having a brain dead moment on the first answer.
Chicago, If you leave me now :P

I totally disagree.
I now represent '3' with shite adverts... thus a shite product and i'm even less likely to buy one of their bricks they call a phone.

I remember the ads for how irritating and irrelevant they are. Not for the service or product they sell. Are they phones? Or just a network? Do they work on normal GSM or are they always 3G? I could find out, but the ads don't tell me, and I don't want some snotty 15yr old shop assistant stumble his way though trying to force me to sign up. <fast show farmers>
"What do you think of them new '3' adverts then?"
"It's a load of old bollocks"
