I see the "As clean as a man called David" is back! FFS how does a kid know how clean David's rear end is!!!
Can the advert be reported to the Perv Police?
i think it's just meant to be a 'hilarious' random things that kids say thing, but it is a bit weird. Not sure the kid is actually referring to David's ahole.

Shpock

Beyond it being a really stupid name for a company the advert is just full of annoying looking people with fake smiles living in fake worlds. Then they have the catchy phrase: snap, sell, kerching!

Please make them go on fire. It's one of 2 adverts right now that make me mute the TV, the other is the baby meerkat with the snow and the annoying kids film song, flogging a dead horse there and just awful. I admit I am a grumpy old git and dislike happy clappy music anyway so that doesn't help.
I think Shpock needs a whole thread of its own. Has anyone actually looked on the site?
If you thought Ebay was full of retards and wasters, it's got nothing on Shpock. If you want to see the prime examples, click on anything electrical like phones or I-Pads. It shows the questions asked and the answers, the ones like "will you swap for a fish tank?" along with people chipping in with "It's not worth it", "I've got one for sale cheaper, click on my profile".
Funny replies to phone advertised for £350 like "Will you take I-Phone 4 plus cash" Seller says "Yes", how much cash asks buyer? £350 replies seller! hehe

I always think it's one of those Dragons Den business ideas that didn't get past the auditions.

At least he tries to salvage the situation:

"As clean as a man called David..." (realises that he's said something utterly moronic, even for a kid) "...who is very clean".

But I agree, it's a hateful advert. Please, Andrex, bring the puppies back.

the currys PC world app where the daughter and dad are searching for a ridiculously expensive laptop for her to take travelling. Firstly she looks about 30 so not sure what it's all about for starters, although she does act about 12, and secondly he comes across as a bit of a bell. First he tells her to shush because adults are talking, then he doesn't listen to her (even though he was biffing at the start about her never listening to him) and then proceeds to tell her what she wants after only 3 seconds of talking to a sales assistant!!
Yeah but you would, wouldn't you. biggrin




Even though unlike her "father" she doesn't sound Irish at all laugh

Can you imagine how annoying the instructor would be in real life.

That Center Parcs advert with the middle-class family walking through the woods and making up a story about robots, leaf monsters and forest whales. WTF? Did they find magic mushrooms? Who behaves like that?

Have to mute any Argos adverts - the voiceover and that damn music drive me nuts.

I've just seen Sainsbury's effort for 2017. That's a real "WTF were they thinking when they came up with that one?" effort. #fooddancing evidently.

How did you make sure it was her? Did you beep your horn to make her turn around?

You were not alone in disliking Ruth n Ben

Personally I think that Ruths character passed away just after new year as her heart gave up after the stress put upon by all that eating. As Tesco don't (unlike the co-op) do Funerals there was nowhere left to go

Nomination for "current worst advert" - The really annoying dad and his daughter in the VW Tiguan. The music is crap, the 2 people are really annoying and the thought that all the teenagers think they are both cool as dad drops his daughter off in a VW. FFS!!!
