"Car shown May vary from UK specification"
All that money car manufacturers make and they cannot be arsed to re-shoot for the uk market.

ridiculous thing to say. They don't vary that much! Why would they spend a further million quid or whatever re-shooting the same ad, just because of the colour of the washer bottle lid differs?

Small stuff is ok but what about if it does not come with sat nav, alloys and a bunch of other things?
Maybe it's to get round false advert rules?

People will try to claim compo for all sorts of ridiculous things these days, so they have to cover themselves. Someone somewhere will buy one, then examine every frame of the advert just to find something in the ad that isn't on their base model, then try to claim it's the only reason they selected that car. Hence all the quickly mumbled Ts and Cs on radio ads - 'your home is at risk if you leave the doors and windows open' and the like.

The diet coke 'regret nothing' advert. Holy crap! WTF is this?!?!

That minger obviously doesn't regret not wearing her seat belt and having a head on crash. That can be the only explanation for that excuse of a face. Either that or she caught fire whilst participating in some activity she would define as 'Regretting Nothing' and preceded to extinguish said fire by repeatedly headbutting a wall before cooling off her burnt chops in a cess pit

On the other hand, she has very nice bottom.

If the facial standard is anything to go on the bottom is highly likely to be hairy, unwashed and spotty, very spotty.

As they say in Glasgow, she looks like she's been "dookin' fur chips".

That insurance advert with Brian the robot (the name of the product escapes me); now we've got Brian in peril and all his robot pals rushing to his aid; yet another bloody advertising campaign that looks like it's growing arms and legs and turning into a fking soap opera like those sodding meerkats.

Stand by for plushy Brians being given away to attract mouthbreathing insurance buyers.

My prognostication skills are a little rusty, but only a little; I've just received an email from Confused relating the joyous news that every customer will get a ghastly piece of plastic tat in the shape of Brian the adenoidal robot. Not cuddly enough, so this marketing jape is doomed.

On a similar note for the usual beige/vanilla super-mini hatchback

From £9999

then the small print at the end

Car shown is suped-up 2.0 GTi with every available option blah blah. List Price £22,999

Liverpool Victoria's ad that says "Car Insurance from £169 (or some amount)"...

WTF does that mean? That somewhere, there's someone, driving some sort of car of some specific age with a certain amount of NCB who will pay 'as little as £169?

Is that possibly the most meaningless, misleading piece of advertising of all time?

Oh, and LV, I paid £144 fully comp for my RX8 insurance this year, so you're not that good

You see, if you look at this from a realistic point of view, it makes no sense whatsoever. She waves off her partner as he gets on his plane, (who incidentally is probably looking forward to some time away from the missus, and has already planned to get some hookers into his hotel room as soon as he arrives) but then she feels bad and decides to get on another flight to go and see him.

So she was at the airport to see him off, but has her passport ready to catch a flight? Clearly a serious case of the mental going on here. I'd love to have seen his face though when she pitches up at his hotel room, spoiling his plans of freedom.

But if you look at it from an advertising perspective, how does "Regret Nothing" tie in with the product? I can see how it ties in with what's going on on screen, but not the drink angle. But then adverts never really make much sense to me.

Oh, is it the Toyota Aygo advert that has the bloke dressed as a seat making it look like its driving itself? I hope that costume is on the options list, otherwise why would you show it? There's not even a normally mandatory warning telling Joe Public to not try this at home.

Radio, rather than TV - but I really loath those Third Reich HMRC tax adverts.

Is 'regret nothing' just a rebranded 'yolo'?

My mum said something fairly similar when she first saw that advert - she also referred to the woman as a dirty cougar

[AlexRS2782]

The new Nokia / Cortana advert offering to help "prepare" you for a baby, that's been festering like an unflushable turd, in nearly every advert break recently

[TheDoggingFather]

The advert for 'Indeed', which is some form of employment agency. The fking idiots jigging along to that irritating piano tune. Pisses me right off. s.

[Halmyre]

Nooooooooooo!!! Someone's licensed Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower" for a perfume advert! You maniacs! God damn you all to hell!

[Ian974]

For a change I saw an airwaves one I think the other day that was excellent, man goes back to a woman's place and she's got pet snakes all over the place.

[rehab71]

I hate the trend for adverts with openers like 'we all want......' 'Healthier looking hair/skin/aholes etc.'

How the fk do you know what I want? My skin look healthy enough! s

[Lordbenny]

Quatar Airlines with Barcelona team....possibly the worst advert if all time....DONT ASK FOOTBALLERS TO ACT EVER!
