Reminds me of my brother-in-law who loves Heinz baked beans.
He’d fill his case if he went abroad - none of that foreign muck????

The Euromillions advert on the jetty doesn't make me want to smash the television, but it is annoying. A smiley chap dances and then hand springs along the jetty and we all win Euromillions and live happily ever after. Except, it's a gymnast hand springing. You know this because when smiley man bobs up at the end, you can still see the gymnast crouching down behind him.

The Mobility Furniture advert for a fold-out electric bed on gbnews and Talktv, maybe others, but the 'dad' telling his son (or his younger brother, who knows the relationship?) to get out of the chocolate box, or he can go to bed if he's bored, well I don't get the logic. Nasty piece of work, until he softens when the blonde woman, who seems to be the new girlfriend, opens up the settee to reveal a bed. Surprise! We're then expected to believe that she's his mother!
It gets muted every time now.

Any advert with silly dancing, do the advertising agencies only have one idea between them?

Yes I’m actually mortified watching them - Wayfair, Wren Kitchens but the worst one was Strike which nearly ended up with a brick through the TV.
I mean what relevance does it have to the product? Cringeworthy and embarrassing.
Luckily I have a foam brick now!

There are some very annoying radio adverts about driving too fast and having accidents in the countryside - having grown up and learned to drive on the back roads these adverts infuriate me! My family home is in the middle of no where no traffic mostly 60 limit - won’t be long till it’s all reduced to something daft like 40 ( or 20!).
There's one on at the moment where I think it talks about driving too fast when it's windy!

The voices are straight from the Pepsi Max & a KFC advert (do ya get me bruv?? Yeah people) The ad is complete bks too. He even talks about a lama confused

They always show ladies that look to be barely in their fifties who need recliners or tip forward ejector chairs like you'd probably see in Wallace and Gromit!

The new McD's advert is following the same setup as the Pot Noodle advert - loads of people loud slurping from various different drinks to promote some "sip it to win it" type game.

How about the one where Sue is measured up and then shown sitting luxuriating in a chair, but the chairs are shown mounted high up on blue display plinths, so people with mobility issues couldn't possibly access them rolleyes

Any Gillette advert where they show 12 years olds who shaved 5 minutes ago shaving again.

They've dropped the middle bit featuring the empty carousel at the airport, which explains the weeping. The edited version makes no sense.

I don't understand the meaning of the accompanying song. The lyric is something like "you've come so far.......". WTF does that mean? In what context? What's that got to do with a razor?

The subtitled Pot Noodle wherein they say some people were upset by the slurping so they've removed it.

Still not buying any....

That robotic voice in the new iPhone 15 one is seriously grating.
