View Full Version : Unacceptable continuity in Ambrosia Rice ad
Fallout
19-09-12, 07:21 PM
Anyone seen that Ambrosia Rice advert with the picnic set talking to each other like they're old buddies? See, I get that. Mr Thermos and Miss Spoon have been mates for years and seen many a picnic together. I can even appreciate that the ant and tree, though they may not know the Mr Thermos and Miss Spoon, they have been around a bit and could strike up conversation.
But how the feck do they know Miss Apple? Surely she's just arrived and is soon to be eaten. What about Mr Chicken Leg? Ignoring the fact he has been severed from a chicken and cooked, how does he know everyone? And then there's Scotchy the Scotch Egg. HIS FACE IS INSIDE HIS HEAD! Literally, he has to be hacked in half in order for this face to be revealed and he's perfectly chipper about it.
It just doesn't make sense and it makes me mad. Why don't these animators stop smoking crack? :confused:

I thought i was the only one who's mindset wondered about such things :D I guess the scotch egg had two faces, one on the outside had been eaten and the one on the inside was a bit like kuato but the egg version. And as for the apple well she is obviously irradiated and has been around for a loooong time as who is going to choose her when there is a pot of creamy creamy creamy on offer. Hope this helps you slightly in your search for logic and perspective.

It just doesn't make sense and it makes me mad.
Mrs Jambo has got quite used to using the phrase "There there Sheldon, it'll be OK" during TV programs, I feel your pain.

I really don't see why the Scotch egg can't have his face inside himself.
What are you, facist?
Btw I am also another geekoid who notices stuff that isn't right, a lot of them on adverts too. They should pay us to make them!

Geodude mate, I'm glad we see eye to eye. Frikkin scotch eggs! :D
@Monkey - FACIST! hehehehehehehe. :-P
This advert may be one that has annoyed me perhaps more than any other:
Total racing on the moon. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBSGWQIMNIg)
OK, we're racing on the moon. No worries.
Everyone's wearing space suits on the grid and in the cars, there's clearly no atmosphere. No problem.
Why do the cars have wings for down-force? What on earth are they going to press against in a vacuum?
And why, when they hang in mid-air do they need thrusters, further suggesting the wings do nothing?
Why is there an enormous air-intake (which we take a camera through, just to be sure that this system is getting it's air from the air intake).
Please make up your minds!
Gah.

That Jambo is completely unacceptable. I will write to them.

I've sat in those meetings where the 'creatives' put forward an idea to the client. I can just imagine the one where they said - "So to sell car insurance we have this Russian Meerkat..." Even though thay are native to Botswana. And don't drive cars.
Or the brainstorm where the hungover account manager says, 'Uggghhh Pot Noodle, I had one last night when I got home, it's like when you wake up next to a slutty girl, it's the slag of all snacks.' Stunned silence, then the client says, 'I love it'. I was in that meeting, and Grant the account manager was just hungover and joking!
Don't know if it's still there but the Portsmouth ferry terminal used to have a pot-noodle vending machine.
You put in a couple of quid....
You decide which delicious nutritious flavour you want and press the relevant button...
It whirs and clunks a bit...
Dispenses pot noodle and fork and provides access to a boiling water dispenser.
Now if that wasn't good enough, the best bit is ..........
The machine was built to look like a cow and it Mooos throughout the entire process!!!
So LPH, WTF were the creatives on when they signed that off?
