Im totaly sick of the adverts on Discovery Turbo in the morning. The fillers like Estonian wife carrying races, mobile phone throwing championships and robot football are bad enough after seeing them a million times but then the adverts for the 50s and 60s cd collections and worst of all the (played 2 or 3 times in a row) advert for the Micro force micro shaver. mad All I want is for the next episode of Chasing Classic Cars to start frown

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 banghead
Equally cringe-worthy is the Cortana advert that features some band I've never heard of (I'm 29 - I guess that's why?) ... When the guy says, "You make me laugh Cortana", I think even his expression is one of embarrassment. I'm pulling a similar face every time he says that line.

It's not a razor, it's not a shaver! It's a laser!!

And that awful one with Australian women and their face creams - it's on every single break on most of the Sky channels.

Have we had the one where the woman looks all forlorn and says "the car came out of nowhere" and is shown in the hospital, then at home where she is tended by the man-partner and she is all feeble, then some firm of compo lawyers gets involved and she is talking to a mate and tells them "I am entitled to money but they think I could get more" and finally (once the money has been divvied up) she feels able to do a fking chicken teriyaki.

wkers.

There's one for Google on the radio at he moment where a Locke asks his phone if dogs are vegetarian. When Google replies that dogs can 'thrive' being vegetarian, he replies to his dog 'tofu for two for me and you then Max.' fk off you pathetic twerp, who do you think you are to push your lifestyle choice on your dog, it's not for you to decide that he's to be vegetarian.

It'd be nice if the following advert was for the RSPCA combatting animal abuse. wker.

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
She has a twin sister - Aurore Morisse.

Cups of fking tea, to hammer home the message of cosy lifestyle a lot of adverts have people cuddling a cup of tea, even the "big head" British gas adverts have the animated-freshly rescued homeowner cupping a steaming brew and looking happy.

Not really adverts, but the irritating "Vanish Tip Exchange" promo clips that surround the breaks in "You've been framed" are really annoying me at the moment. I don't know if it's the annoying music, the staged "accidents" where the silly cow leaves the top off the blender or the beardy one splurges ketchup all over his shirt, or the thought that there actually might be a web site where people exchange tips on how to use a cleaning product whose makers presumably thought it's easier to set up a web site, moderate it, and pay thousands to advertise it on national prime-time TV than to just put some instructions on the packaging.

if you had an accident, and then subsequently said in your statement to the police "the car came out of nowhere" they'd infer you weren't paying attention... possible even driving without due care and attention. Cars don't come out of nowhere, and it's fking irresponsible to depict a scenario in an advert where someone in that situation is seen as a poor victim. Infuriating!

anyone mentioned that Ford Park Assist advert with the confused looking guy who is overwhelmed by the challenge of parking his car in an empty parking space?

At what point did men become so emasculated?

Why would somebody who requires Park Assist be given a licence in the first place?

Why not save the production costs on this BS technology that can only lower driving standards and awareness, and make the car cheaper/improve other aspects of it?
