sidcow Posted June 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2021 Peter Crouch having this media career. He's not particularly funny and he's not a natural presenter. It's all just a bit weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yeah I'm fairly new to it, but the Peter Crouch podcast is very good. I disagree that he isn't funny. He's hilarious on that. Helps that I like Chris Stark too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2021 I was going to post this in “the game’s gone” thread but frankly the wide range of people doing this means it’s better suited here. Based on my initial research, Michael is around the mid price range there I think. Gary Busey is charging £262.50 (and frankly I wouldn’t trust him to stick to the script). Vanilla Ice is £299.25. Naturally, this being fairly shameless, Farage is available for £75. Or alternatively you can save yourself £11.25 and hear from Didi Conn who played beauty school drop out Frenchy in “Grease”.

sidcow Posted June 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2021 Seriously, I've had a look at this and you can get a personal message from James Buckley from The Inbetweeners. My lad is taking his driving test soon. I'm seriously thinking about asking for a message congratulating him on passing his test and asking if he can now be his car friend. He would go mental for that. It's only £42.75. Seems like value to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Some people can just never get enough money. I can never understand multi-millionaires who sell out and take money to do adverts, especially for shit companies. David Schwimmer has earned hundreds of millions of dollars from Friends, nevermind the rest of his work. Is it really worth being a shill for TSB? I'd be **** ashamed. I subscribe to the Bill Hicks philosophy really. Once you take the marketting dollar, you've been bought and paid for, and every word you say is suspect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2021 I don't see anything wrong in using your fame for advertising, as long as it's ethical. Fame can be fickle and you never know when it's over. But I really can't fathom Ant and Dec promoting online gambling, and heavily too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted June 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2021 Even if I was loaded, I think I'd say go on then if someone offered me a hundred odd quid to spend 30 seconds reading a few sentences out loud into my phone. Especially if it was usually something nice or funny and you know it's going to be pleasantly received. It would be like offering one of you lot a fiver to wish someone happy birthday, whilst it wouldn't be life changing money I doubt many would say no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would enjoy spending a morning doing that more than a couple of days shooting an advert for some nonsense product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that quite annoying thing that American celebs are willing to do embarrassing adverts in the UK for huge money because they know no-one at home - which is all that actually matters - will ever see it. See also Kevin bacon, Harvey keitel, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
