The votes have been cast and the judges have reached a decision. It didn’t take them more than a split second - ladies and gentlemen - we give the award for the most appallingly dreadful, ludicrously fucking shite advert ever to have graced our TV’s… A big fist in your arsehole please, for Moonpig.
Right, where to start. Firstly I need a stiff drink before I undertake this, for medicinal purposes. Moonpig (fucking ‘Moonpig’, which giant turd thought that one up, I should imagine they thought is was ‘wacky’ and ‘zany’ when it’s just a dustbin full of old horsetits) are some grubby little greeting card firm that specialise in ‘cards for every occasion’ though I don’t see a sympathy one for the family of the chairman who may well be found slumped in a doorway with head injuries if there is any justice in the world.
The advert is cheap and shitty on one level, so mundane in fact that it wouldn’t be given a second’s glance if it wasn’t for one quite disgusting human right threatening addition: the jingle. But it would be irresponsible not to mention the middle class jumper brigade grinning like medicated retards receiving and sending ‘personalised’ tree slaughtered wank to one another. They all look like a bunch of right golfclub BMW-driving ball-bags.
The jingle (excuse me while I open another bottle) comprises of close harmony singing, the sort of thing that reminds one of early TV advertising jingles sung by women with poodle haircuts attired in prom dresses and white slingbacks… Fucking shit, then.
Five times, FIVE godforsaken times we are jingled at from one end of this 29-second hell to the other, the ‘moon’ part sung in a higher tone to ‘pig’ but in a slightly different key each time, and each time the jingle gets seemingly louder, the fourth incarnation being hysterical and the one that will cause you to rip out your teeth with hammers…
No, I can’t do anymore on this, see for yourselves, this is worse than scatological rape porn.

does anyone rememebr the cartoon jimbo (think it was itv) in the 80s? jimbo, jimboooooo, jimbo…..
well moonpig is exactly the same tune, except the other way around (musically).
terrible stuff. i’ve actually yet to watch this advert. it’s always on when i’m doing my make-up in the morning or getting my hair dry. but the jingle is ingrained and it’s a nasty nasty thing.
i actually thought they were saying “loopy” at first, the enunciation is so bad.
November 22, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Not a bad comparison, but ‘Jimbo’ was sort of funny and *ahem* ‘cute’
Moonpig is vile and evil and cunty, unlike Jimbo…
Hang on. Actually, Jimbo is an environmental threat… HE’S POLLUTING OUR FUCKING PLANET, KILL JIMBO, STAB HIM IN HIS FUSELAGE CUT OFF HIS COCK
PIT

Oooh, thanks. I got the bobble hat and pants from Oxfam and the sock I found in a hedge. The sick washed off okay but they still reek of bloated corpses… Oh well!!
Anyway, I appreciate you kind wor…
Hang on, you meant the new WWM graphics didn’t you.
Oh.

spot on every day when i get up to go to work that advert is drilling it ways slowly into my head like a scene from saw 12.
November 25, 2007 at 10:41 am
I’ve never even heard of these MoonPig fuckers (in fact I didn’t even know MoonPigs existed, never mind someone who wanted to fuck one), but having watched that advert just the once, I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life.
That advert makes me want to actively avoid their shit products.

Technically, that’s spam.

Depends on your point of view. Mine is that it isn’t. Ahem.
