Irritating Southern Comfort Advert

Avant

I suppose it really should belong in the 'trivial things that annoy you' thread but the advert for Sothern Comfort has really got to me over the weekend.

For clarity this is the one with the fat, smug, self-satisfied bloke walking along a beach, wish he would step on a long abandoned landmine. Everything about it just winds me up, as in REALLY winds me up. Working hard on the Turbo Trainer last night I found myself wishing it was powering a dynamo wired to a 9 inch nail rammed in his forehead

This company have a track record of producing advertising dross, anyone care to recall the 'SoCo' one? 20 seconds of pretentious scum saying things like 'ohhhhhhh SoCo and coke',' can I get a SoCo', that also did my head in. Anyone who have ever gone to a bar and asked for a 'SoCo' deserves to be banned from every premises selling alcohol worldwide and have a 'PT' for pretentious twat branded on their forehead.

Rant over.

Either that or just chill out.
Maybe a SoCo would help?

For the ultimate in pretentious bad, does anyone remember the 'If you're drinking Bacardi' cinema one played before every goddamn film for about 10 years straight?

Bacardi, gives you hallucinations, gotcha.

To be fair to Southern Comfort, trying to emulate the fact that Jack Daniels is JD but differentiate with it being a bit longer, and the only other workable abbreviation would be Sou Com, which would end up pronounced Sow Cum.

I really like it - his cool attitude at juxtaposition to his totally uncool look. Also love the cute dog joining in bit.

Nothing like as irritating as people who sign off posts with 'Rant over'.

I like the bit when he gives the hot brunette a cheeky shoulder dip, like a tip of the cap if you will
