Luckydog Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Picture quality, Editing, Copy, Sound quality in fact vitually everything about them is mind blowingly amateurish and unlikely to achieve what they are made to do ie. attract punters! Have you ever been persuaded to try out one of those restaurants or services? If so, did they live up to the claims in the advert? 'Best Steaks in Town"....."Fine Food"......"Not only a place to eat, it's a way of life" "VIP visa Runs"......Best Night out in Pattaya" ......etc etc etc. I know the ads are made in the cheap. But do they HAVE to be so bad??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libya 115 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The most annoying advert for me was the Rabbit Resort Bungalows, it was so sickly. I am sure they are great people and it's an enjoyable place to stay, but the commercial itself: it was cringe factor 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Another vote for Tony, in particular the old advert for the floating restaurant/Tony type nightclub (?) in Pattaya Bay. With the still image of a cruise liner shown on screen while the voiceover proclaims "...biggest investment ever....", clearly a case of misleading advertizing. This was before the new pier was built I wondered where the "ship" would dock before someone pointed out Tony's "ship". (a former car ferry?) Another advert that puzzles me is the one for the 79 Baht buffet restaurant, the food looks like masses of rice padded dough balls etc. but the advert does nothing for communicating where the place is. The map flashed up for a second or two at the end has no land marks on it, totally useless advertizing if directed at people that do not know where the place is.

Jimmyd Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The fact that Crazy Dave's adverts are so memorable means they are very effective in my book, no matter how annoying they may be to some members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The fact that Crazy Dave's adverts are so memorable means they are very effective in my book, no matter how annoying they may be to some members. The thing I find most annoying is the repititiousness of the ads and features. It's nice watching movies without commercial interruptions, but the breaks between movies seems to drag on forever. It seems that every break features the same commercials over and over again. Same for the Wine & Dine and Business Matters features. Split them up a bit. Rotate the features so that we don't get bored with viewing the same ones repeatedly for a week (or more) on end. Use some different voices for the commercials. Make a couple different versions of the commercials and rotate those. (I know, these things take time and cost money, but the upside is you may gain a wider viewing audience, or at least the current audience would be less likely to simply "tune-out" the current fare.)

Kerryd Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Then theres Slim Pattaya win a car competition with the draw in March ... still showing in April The worse case was when they continued to show ads for the Route 999 disco, for a couple of weeks after it had burnt down (was it 9 people that died in that one ?). Not as bad were the ads for various Christmas and New Years events around Pattaya that continued on long after the dates in question were fading into a hazy memory.

torngseea Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Howard always makes me smile when I see him. Seems like a nice inglish bloke. The guy on 'Bighorn Steakhouse' makes me laugh. Like someone's pointing a gun at him off camera, 'Er, this is the best steakhouse in Pattaya.' Tony probably has had guns pointed at people in the past. Should be in the Godfather, 'Hey, Tony!' 'Welcome to my world, or else!' and finally, where is Soi Beeokeow? Thought it was Bua Khao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he says it he pronounces it "ay". Its "a" - rhymes with "the" (and that's not pronounced "thee")! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
