Could anything be more puke-inducing than that advert? It's set in a country house with the obligatory big white kitchen with the central island. Mum is making a victoria sponge cake whilst spoilt daughter is seen in various other rooms and the garden with the various bears dotted around all over the place. The mother looks slightly wistful as she sieves icing sugar over her sponge cake and the slightly husky female voice-over burbles on about the bears becoming friends for life. I guess this is supposed to evoke nostalgia and the feeling that if we buy one of those stupid bears we can buy into that perfect lifestyle.
I'd love to do a spoof of this advert, and film it in a tower block flat. There would be a massive wide screen telly, leather sofa from DFS / Argos. The mother would stuff the remaining slice of a Mr Kipling / Sara Lee sponge cake down her throat and then would slap the child around the head because she's just broken her ipad that she bought on credit from the Provident. The bathroom would be full of Pantene, Tresemmé and Alberto Balsam products from Savers on the dreaded "high street." I'd have one of those doll toilet roll covers with the big dress in shot. There would be copies of Britain's best red-top tabloid on the table.
