Can't stick the ads with the bloke going gliding / off roading / ballooning in a Land Rover.
Pretty sure it's a Jeep so it's failed on that level too
This probably belongs in the "Things that annoy you beyond reason..." thread, but recently the Telegraph ran a story where they referred to a Land Rover as a Jeep. To the extent of having a picture of a Land Rover with a caption calling it a Jeep.

Seems that the terms are interchangeable to the Ignorami. frown

Land Rover and Jeep both seem to be fighting for the Hoover/Sellotape etc generic product identified by a brand name, if that makes sense

What's going on in the GAP advert with the mistletoe?

Is the young chap wanting to snog his aunt or mother?

The mom is noticeably youthful-looking and attractive here -- for the same reasons. And the two young girls in the back seem to adorn traditional "puritan" hairstyles.

Just fk the fk off you fking fk. I'm surprised he didn't write half of that comment in latin.

Another radio ad, for Halfords. A patronising voiceover while the Halfords "expert" changes a headlight bulb "and you mustn't touch the glass because it will be hot"

If it's fking hot it must be working so why the fk are you changing it?
Halfords changes stuff that's perfectly fine, and boasts about it in an advert?

At least their adverts are honest.

Priceless. There's a perfectly good reason for not touching the glass so why not use that? Are they afraid that "the moisture on your skin can damage the glass" will be too incomprehensible for some people?

I have a new most hated advert.... The Lidl Christmas one has lots of annoying chat going on but the worst has got to be the woman who tries to get in as many sound bites to describe a properly cooked turkey in 5 seconds. "really succulent, quite moist, quite juicy, not dry" Another month to put up with this spangle,frown think I will be tracking her down by then and sticking her turkey where the sun don't shine! furious

‘Peter goes to iceland'…..

Pug faced, vain, talentless, faux self deprecating whiner…..goes to the food equivalent of £ land, where a gaggle of tired looking, tramp stamped munters, stub out their last embassy regal’s and are stunned how this self proclaimed Adonis could grace their grey, vacuous lives by visiting Kerry Katona’s fridge compartment.

But oh, the ironic twist, better than Bryan Singer could ever have dreamt of….Pug, is blissfully unaware of this fawning ( though has taken 2 days to gel his silly hair, and cover himself in gravy browning), and points to a 300 kilo synthetic cake and drops to his knees in awe at this new 9th Wonder of the World.

‘Nuke him from space….it’s the only way to be sure'.

I was just thinking that. Why is he blithering on about bloody subtext of what is only an advert and a pretty crap one at that. The whole point of it is to sell Gap clothes and in that respect he looks like a prick in that shirt with the top button done up. I wouldn't shop at Gap based on the advert.

The ttting NatWest (I think) one with the song from The Sound of Music is back...

Also, ANY supermarket advert at the moment. All twee, over-chintzified Christmassy ste.

(edit) Add to that the bingo/casino one with the giant pink pigeon - I spend enough time chasing off the local pigeons from stting all over my cars, this ad is just taunting me!

If I see or hear that fking Toyota Yaris "Fall in Love with driving again" advert I'll throw whatever beverage I'm currently having through the back of the TV and send Toyota the bloody bill.

I hope you are a writer by trade because you should be.

Without a doubt the best thing I've ever read on PH - editorial included.

I salute you.
