Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

I saw the "cupcake" one for the first time the other day and actually shouted "What the b
ks was that?" at the telly. Wasn't til I read this thread that I found out what it was trying to advertise, so it clearly isn't coming close to doing its job in the first place. (For the record, as a West Midlander I can confirm that very few Brummies talk like that moron in the ad does.)
Also, I watched Motors TV yesterday and it struck me that the only adverts they and most other Sky channels have are PPI companies, no-win-no-fee leechers, comparison websites and guilt-tripping charity appeals. That's ALL they advertise!
Annoying me most is an ad on a local radio station my dad listens to, which is for (I think) a kids' nursery and has really annoying singing children on it. I'm pretty certain it's the only ad the station's got as it seems to be played after every song! I think it's made my parents realise why I only listen to Radio 2 or Five Live.
(edit) re the above post, I think the Wrestling one is very funny and I'm impressed that it got past the censors. In a similar vein, there was the one a couple of years ago where the kid asks "Where did I come from?" and it ends after the implied explanation with "but Jimmy only comes from Scotland" or something similar. What was that ad for? I remember the ad but not what it was advertising.

Has anyone else noticed recently that lots of adverts feature dads making sandwiches for their children?
it's as a modern stay-at-home mum, she's hungover in bed, so Dad's making the sandwiches before taking the kids to school. w

The 'advert' for the Winter Olympics. It is always laughable when they try and make sports like film, or cinematic, worse culprits are usually footballers, but they have a fantastic mountain, and weather, it might be something out of the Hobbit, but then it turns out to be fking athletes.
They do it for everything now, it's so overplayed. Next thing they'll be trailing the world tiddlywinks finals with some atmosphetic piece of poetry recited in a deep and brooding voice accompanied by swooping landscapes filled with ancient warriors forging tiddlywinks in the furnaces of Mount Doom, when they then cut to some dingy working mens club in Wigan, filled with half a dozen paunchy down and outs hunched over a wallpapering table. Talk about overdoing it!king athletes.24lemons said:

At 42% pork they only just meet the legal requirement for being described as "pork sausages". They are fking disgusting - I'd rather eat my own vomit.
£2-00 a pack in Tesco. Just along the road I can get a pack of Aldi Ultimate pork sausages (90% pork) for £1-99 which look and taste like sausages should.

Totally agree. As the old joke goes: Walls have ears, that's why I don't eat their sausages. king disgusting - I'd rather eat my own vomit.£2-00 a pack in Tesco. Just along the road I can get a pack of Aldi Ultimate pork sausages (90% pork) for £1-99 which look and taste like sausages should.
