Advantages: Not on anymore (fingers crossed)

Disadvantages: Shown too much

The Ferrero Roche advert is one that everyone remembers with utter loathing, and yet it has entered the collective memory, just like the infamous "Shake n Vac" advert.

It was obviously a marketing man's banal idea of giving their product an "upmarket" feel. After all what could be more upmarket than an Ambassador's reception?

Sadly, it all fails. The actors appear to be dubbed, which is strange as the chappie carrying the tray of Ferrero Roche is John Abineri, great British Actor who played Herne in Robin of Sherwood, and has just recently passed away. The whole place has a tacky, badly lit feel to it. It felt dated when it first appeared (mid 80's?) and considering the long period over which it was shown, its dated feel has only gotten worse.

I think the ridicule this ad generated is the reason the agency kept running it .The slaggings and spoofs it generated meant the ad budget was doubled without effort.Bad can be good.Who'll be writing about those cringeworthy "Flash" ads in 10 years time?
