Ginger Catering Ad - What is the Song?

They have all these “smart elements” in them that everyone totally missed, as they were too busy hating their clumsy nature.

Bearcage has gone to the dogs, the mob who used to do the Magnet Mart ads are poised to take over.

I would also like to stick up for the adds a little bit. I think they have some smart elemets to them. Did you notice that all the features females in the adds have ginger hair? The shop that is featured in the first of the series of adds has signs up on the wall advertising ginger bread. And there is a predominance of the colour red / ginger throught the series of adds. Or maybe I’m imagining things…

Good lord… I’ve been so busy loathing those ads that I hadn’t noticed. Now I hate them even more. Oh, and +1 to the nasty plastic biker jacket comment.

What would Matt Preston say?

I reckon Matt Preston would say “Thank you for paying to run these adds in my tv show, and making me rich(er)”. The only time I’ve seen the adds is when Master Chef is on.

Who chose the plastic jacket he wears in the final shot when he carries the drinks oz? Probably the worst ads on TV and a complete waste of money – people may talk about GC more but only to swap stories about the sheer arrogance of their staff.

Also, everyone is commenting on the her weight, what about the guy? Ack.

Hehe, since he’s a friend of mine, would you like me to pass that assessment on for you? 😉

If they can’t tell a breakfast mushroom from a lunch mushroom, there’s no hope for them. What would Matt Preston say?

I think you need to start building a bridge in regards to the mushrooms.

As for the ads – terrible.

i fkn hate that series of adds

At the risk of sounding uneducated,aside from the time of day that it’s picked / cooked / eaten what is the difference between a breakfast and a lunch mushroom ?

I’m just glad someone asked.. (runs back to corner)

Do you mean the ad with the fat girl?

I hope she is the owner or something. Otherwise there is no need to put her in an ad. Or on view. In public.

Yes, I know. Im very nice.

Hell Yeah S.O.D.

Speak English Or Die – one of their finer moments 😛

Just the sort of thing a bogan 15 year old from early 90’s Queanbeyan would think was cool. Hehehe.

I don’t want to know more! I think “clunky crap ad, what were they thinking, avoid like plague”. Then I’ll grumble about it on the internet, too.

From a comment a few spots above, it sounds like the much-vaunted Ginger Room is as underwhelming as Cafe in the House. If they can’t tell a breakfast mushroom from a lunch mushroom, there’s no hope for them. What would Matt Preston say?

Passing clots the size of basketballs…

Skidbladnir, quoting the simpsons – pure gold.. they have an answer to everything

agreed that they are annoying.
agreed that they are confusing, too – is this a shop, bar, cafe, or catering service?
…but theyre also effective. i want to know more because of the unclear nature of what is offered.

Also, SOD…… lllllame….

I too have no idea what these ‘horrible ads’ are that you’re talking about.
But then again, you’re talking about Ginger Catering and requiring other people to watch it so they can help you. IE: the ads are successfully building profile.

To quote the Simpsons on defeating advertising if you hate it:
(Treehouse of Horror VI: Attack of the 50ft Eyesores)
Man: You see, advertising is a funny thing. If people stop paying attention to it, pretty soon, it goes away.
Lisa: Like that old woman who couldn’t find the beef?
Man: Exactly. If you stop paying attention to the monsters, they’ll lose their powers.
…
Together: [singing] Just don’t look. Just don’t look.
Just don’t look. Just don’t look.
Just don’t look. Just don’t look.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ad either. Most of my free-to-air watching is taped earlier and I fast forward through the ads.

Hell Yeah S.O.D.

I found out there seems to be a bakery there, so not a total fail. No idea what its like. It’d better be better than the Ginger Room. Poor service and very average food trying too hard.

Ugh, I hate those ads. And yes, I thought she was preggers too! The acting is cringe worthy.

And I can’t stand that hat she wears in the second scene – it looks so stupid on her.

I think the song is called “Premenstrual Princess Blues” by the Stormtroopers Of Death (aka S.O.D.).

Anyone else rememther this band?

Yeah, I have to admit I’m not a fan of the Ginger Catering ads (even though there are people I know in them). I think they totally fail as far as selling their product. You watch them, and if it wasn’t for the company logo at the end, you wouldn’t know what they’re selling.

I loathe those Ginger Catering ads. Bearcage usually do much better than that. They’re clunky… I thought the lady in the shiny dress was pregnant; the first front shot certainly suggests it, but then she’s guzzling champagne so I figure she’s not pregnant, just wearing a very unflattering dress. Clumsy ads that don’t really portray the image I think they want to portray (fun plance, sophisticated and stylish).

Since it’s an ad for a local company produced locally, I doubt it’s anything well known. Most likely a local band, or a professionally produced jingle.

I think the ad was produced by Bearcage Productions. If it’s really bugging you, you could always email them and ask 🙂

What are the lyrics?

Why not call them, I’m sure they could find out for you.

Not sure about the song but what shi!ts me about the ad is when she pretends to drink the coffee. It looks so stupid, why not just drink the coffee or whatever.
