Maltesers,

Two girls talking about one of them borrowing a necklace and having sex with a bloke or some such nonsense.

That's not the annoying part, it's the bit where she pushes half a dozen maltesers off the table onto the floor.

Why? I dont get the connection between the conversation and her shoving them off the table.

Is she going to pick them up ? or leave them for people to walk on? thus making a mess and creating extra work for the poor cleaner.

It's referencing the necklace breaking and the beads flying all over the dance floor just like the Maltesers.

Although if that were real life, given the claim culture here in the UK, someone would go out of their way to slip over on them and proceed to sue the hospital for ££££££ as a result.

The previous one with the girl and her (ex) boyfriend was more amusing tbh.

@ Alex, thanks for the info.

To be honest i wasn't 100% paying attention to what they were saying but that makes sense.

Luckily i had only seen the last advert just the once which was quite enough.

The one for the new super slim HP laptop. When the bloke on the plane won't shut it off, someone boots the back of his seat.

Has No-one got respect for property any more?

Completely missing the point there. Their market is peope who don't want to sell privately. If you wanted to sell privately, you would never consider WBAC. Probably the majority of people think the same as the ad woman. No-one really enjoys dealing with the public, they are all fking weirds and rapists. If I thought I could get a good price for a car i was selling without cleaning it and having psychos come round my house then i would. Most of the people who use WBAC are comparing prices to trade-in price though, and actually the prices are generally st, but it's worth it to some to take the hit in order to remove the hassle. It's not being "stuck up".

Agree with this. WBAC prices are a bit ower than you might otherwise get, but you are in effect paying to take away a whole world of pain, hassle and wasted time. They aren't my favourite company but their basic model is sound.

Is it just me or has he somehow managed to develop a fat head over the years? I can understand getting a bit rounder around the middle but a fat head?!

He was born with a huge head, that's where he got the catchphrase 'Akabusi in the woom' biggrin

EE & their tie in with BT Sport for the upcoming season.

If the previous adverts with Stephen Fry & Rachel Riley weren't cringeworthy enough, this one is much worse.

Latest Compare the Market advert where the Meerkats are now paedophiles, grooming online and inviting a child to join them on their motorhome journey.

At least they think he is a child, he's an adult now, doesn't make it any better.

The Haribo one where the adults describe which is their favourite sweet with cutesy child voices. It's vomit-inspiring.

It's not vomit inducing.

It's creepy. To the point of disturbing,
