I don't if it's because i've just got caught watching a lot of daytime tv or whatever but it appears that there's a new ad for an online bingo service every single day.
I've lost track of how many there are. And absolutely none have convinced me that online bingo is anything other than shit.

Foxy Bingo is like nails down a blackboard, particularly, but just generally, I hate these too. I don't see the attraction of real-life bingo anyway, apart from the social aspect of a night out and the possibility of some cash. So why bingo minus the night out is so popular (it must be, otherwise there wouldn't be so many online bingo ads...would there?) I haven't a clue.
Apart from the Fox rhyming slang atrocity, I really hate the Sun's "I'm on my way to play Sun Bingo". If you're going to have a crap rewrite of a song then at least make the people sing it IN TUNE. And the windows make the people look like they're in a shite advent calendar.

The Foxy Bingo ads did encourage my mum to go out to an ACTUAL bingo night, thus shooting themselves in the foot rather loltastically.
Also my niece has taken to calling my sister Foxybingo.com. We have no idea what this may mean to her.

The Foxy Bingo ad disturbs me greatly. Foxy is clearly some kind of cult leader preying on girl power sisters who want to do it for themselves and play bingo, who impressionably follow him blindly to a detached house on a deserted street.
He then leaves the house jampacked, having clearly locked all doors and windows and released the gas.

There's one I've seen involving lots of curvy happy ladies in a swimming pool, with numbered balls floating up every now and then. It made me happier than eating Skittles and sniffing marker pens.
All the others are a bit cack though. I don't understand why you'd want to play bingo without a bar and lots of old women around you either.

I had a chuckle at the ITV late night bingo ad, with the numbers written on footballs etc, on a spin in a washing machine.

The S1 Bingo ad (probably only shown in Scotland but I can't be sure) features the Krankies as bingo balls. I doubt they'd call it a career high but I don't think they've ever been funnier.
