for postdog

[Pheobe]

thankyou for your answer to my question you seem to be the only other person having trouble understanding the axa advert.

[factor-fiction]

Phoebe- you don't need to keep starting a new thread- you can add information/messages etc simply by replying to your own question.

Hi ABerrant- yes, Pheobe has raised this on several threads, but I think she is asking again because she didn't agree with all the other answers- she said she is talking about a different version of the advert to everyone else (apart from Postdog)

[ABerrant]

...and Postdog's description of the advert matches the one in the link I provided, which is the same one that everybody else has commented on.

[factor-fiction]

I read it that she seemed insistent everyone was talking about the wrong ad.
Hopefully Phoebe can clarify then maybe we can put this to bed

[Postdog]

If I remember rightly, an answer given was that it was "driving" but the voiceover was laughing as he said it. No way is this so, as there is no laughing involved, and it does sound like truffing or troffing.

I've tried looking it up, but the nearest definition I have found is this, and I am wondering if the ad is some kind of subtle pee take.

Postdog - can you confirm that this is the ad being discussed since the issue will never be resolved without seeing the ad...

[Postdog]

that's the one

[ABerrant]

Then I stand by my statement in one of the many previous threads - It definitely IS him chuckling when saying 'driving', which causes the voiceover to sound like 'try-fing'.

Now all we need is for Pheobe to confirm this as the correct advert to tie up all these loose ends

Sounds like driving to me; with a sort of 'huh' chuckle thing in the middle!

[Postdog]

sorry, you're wrong - no way can that be described as a laugh or a chuckle. It's definitely a word, the question is what word.

[sophie_1003]

What else would it be on an advert for car insurance?? It's definitley driving he just kind of pauses half way through; say driving in a scoffing voice and that's what you get!

Read this; it states that the advert says driving and that is on the axa website.

Thanks for sorting it out sophie - it was 'tryfing' everyone mad.

[joko]

the whole point of the ad is to point out that people are very aggressive when driving and feel its acceptable to swear, shout, barge in front of, etc etc at strangers from their cars - but that we dont do that when we are walking...

how on earth can you not grasp that that is what he is saying, just because he says it in a odd way...?

what else could it, or would it be? ...sheesh!

[factor-fiction]

Thanks ristian. And thanks for the link Aberant which to me shows the word is definitely Driving.
Yes, we just need Pheobe now to confirm it's the right ad because in one of her 3 other threads on this she defintely said she was talking about a different Axa ad to the one others were talking about.
