I'd imagine it's a US centric advert as she (Sedaris) is a well known comedian over there. I guess the manufacturers figured it'd work over here on a different level.

Well they've got themselves on this thread. That's quite an achievement.

Doesn't really make me want to smash the TV up when I see it but the first time I saw the Cancer advert where all the little bits of cancer start exploding...did anyone else think they were potatoes and it was some screwed up Mccain oven chips advert?

Glad it wasn't just me thinking that... i though chips... then bleach.

One that does drive me insane is the one on the radio about conference calls, and the guy who said No over an email, but yes on the phone.

Thinkbox. Totally dimented adverts.

The worst thing is a Toyoaburu GT-86 with a V8 rumble.

I knew I couldn't be the only only one...
Toyoaburu, where did that come from? Isn't it a Subota?

Had this discusion last night about this advert! It's a bloody GT86 so why make it sound like a monster of a car........ Not fooling anyone!

That & the Direct Line advert when he says you can upgrade & pay the difference.
We all know it's an Audi so why try modifying the front to make it look anything other than an Audi!

Seat Leon "That's my booooy" advert for their lane assist

People who need a light in the dash to let them know they have veered into oncoming traffic shouldn't really be driving in the first place

Not to mention the amount of corrective opposite steer he applies would have sent them off the road the other side

Save the money on developing pointless technology and shoooite marketing and make an interesting car instead

Yes. I thought it was originally intended to alert someone falling asleep, not correct wilful spastication.

Carphone Warehouse seem to have started their bloody scrimp-a-dee-do-dah sing song adverts again

They'll go the way of phones4u soon enough, don't worry

The Microsoft tablet and phone adverts, especially the music at the end.

Has Keitel received a tax demand or had an expensive divorce? This is really scraping the barrel.

I can forgive Harvey, just.

He's still the Bad Lieutenant, in fact he should have done the ad as this character instead.

What, by knocking one out standing at the drivers window of someone's car while they intricately describe how much money they saved on their insurance.

"i think ye are worth it'

I just cringe at the am dram acting in that advert.

Can't stand that Toyota Auris advert with the prick singing Americas 'Horse with no name' in his stupid fking voice while driving through a Arabic /Asian market in his stupid white fridge of a car.
