It is a shocker - what was as wrong with cheeky Labrador puppies scooting off with the lav roll?

Instead (for the uninformed), lady in office steps on a duck, retrieves her own personal lav roll, parades through the office with it (stopping en-route to pick up some reading material) before conspicuously entering the office khazi.

Sadly I saw this for the first time last night. Horrendous!!
Is there now no bodily function left for the ad execs to exploit. I thought we had reached a low with keeping your pee in but Andrex managed to drop below the bar!

Who in the world would think this a good idea to submit . Who in the world would accept it and run with it .Totally gross . Andrex own goal

Saw it last night. Simply a terrible advert. It's just weird.

I have to come back to Rylan’s Cinch ad where he is standing in on a suburban pavement, holding an ipad (pointing to camera) in his fingers, down by his waist, talking to a camera about 20ft up in the air.

I don’t know whether it’s the awkward incongruity of his pose or what it is, but I just can’t be doing with it.

What's all this about Ford using an electric Explorer to retrace the route of some woman who drove round the world? Are there charging points in sob-Saharan Africa?

Fat women waving their armpits around, just sod off… Dove I think, but there’s another one at it too, can’t remember who. Either way, give it a rest

I just can't get shot of the feeling that the original version of the advert ended with a tag-line something along the lines of - "If it stops these fat birds sweating, it'll definitely work for you"!

As an aside, does anyone else think they've actually managed to make the much-maligned Pot Noodle advert even worse now they've removed the slurping?

The way all turn their heads to look at the car at the same time and the stickers on the rear window piss me off.

That advert is burned into my mind after seeing the Fatzillas sweaty pits 100ft high on the screens around Time Square last year.

And do you not think that was their plan with the edit?

I've never really undwerstood why anyone would buy from any car company that is represented by a manicured shallow person who has probably never lifted a bonnet, lert alone got his hands dirty or have the faintest idea how a car works.

Closest is probably the back of a TV company limo.

Another breathy song rendition this time it's Iggy Pop's The Passenger for a passenger on a train eating a Magnum ice cream.

Freemans - I assume it's Katherine Ryan?!? with a really grating North American accent

For me it's not just her accent, it's the delivery of the whole voice over, it's just off.

Since when did Samuel L Jackson, net worth $250,000,000, need to advertise Warburtons to get by?

[swisstoni]

Bad investments maybe? I believe Kevin Bacon lost a lot of money with the Bernie Madoff scam. Would explain a lot. *

Probably the same Robert De Niro did it, the bread

I see the ASA have pulled the Nationwide advert as it was misleading. At least it stops me shouting " they have closed branches"!
at the TV everytime it is on. Shame as it was a welcome change from the woke poetry and "we are here to help you get over your mental health" crap. Oh well I guess it is back to the mute button!!

"I'm just checking my over 50's plan"

What for? It's term cover, a fixed monthly premium for a fixed payout amount, it never changes, so what's to check? It's not like the weather.

Thing is that Nationwide have bought out Virgin money.
They will close some branches (of either company) but have pledged to keep a branch in every town where there is one currently.

They used to have 2 branches on my local highstreet, which was a bit bonkers, they've closed one and reduced the other to a 3 day week.

I like Dominic West but if a white chap is still used, he is portrayed as either a complete dope, miserable pensioner or in this case a complete boorish prick.
