B&Q.

It has a song in every advert which has a man scatting 'hapa dooba da, baba doba doba doba, babba de bo ba da beep ba bodo'. EVERY fkING AD BREAK. They've started having radio adverts with the same music so I get the annoying stty little tune stuck in my head when it comes on during my commute. SERIOUSLY fk OFF WITH IT, S.

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?
yes

Stop making cars with pillars so big you can't see to park the fker & you won't need this st to the do the drivers job for them.

The absolute cringe worthy crap Halifax adverts- the one they seem to repeat all the time at the moment is with the "air hostess" going into the Halifax because " they give her more"????

I wonder if they can help her with the toxic air syndrome she's likely to get, judging by reports of frequent air travel recently?!!

As if that wasn't bad enough; it's impossible to believe her as a stew, she's not a funny orange colour and hasn't applied her make up using a shotgun.

The new Lidl advert with the supposedly real, then surprised, customers - what an absolute load of steaming turd.

Currently on the verge of making me turn green and busting yet another check shirt is the ad for an airline featuring the Barcelona FC players - cringeworthy awfulness. Barca are a bit like Ferrari F1. Once respected as either romantic champions or plucky/chaotic underdogs they are now a massive over commercialised PR machine, tacky souvenirs et al. I've been to the Nou Camp, done the tour and taken in the history which is indeed impressive (though the stadium itself resembles a 70's multi-storey from outside) but these ads make them hard to like!

The bit of the current ad with Neymar? Just fk right off..

Gala Bingo.

The meeting when that was signed off is an occasion when it would have been acceptable to throw a punch in the workplace. And the people who agreed to take part in the adverst should all be coshed.

Even if its been mentioned before it deserves to be mentioned again...

Andrex 'Clean as Golden Pants' - we all know the purpose of toilet paper, I'm sure all brands are capable of remove fecal matter from backsides, it doesn't need childish words to illustrate the point.

At least Dawn Porter is off the Scat obsessed Andrex ads.

This was my twitter response to the 'Scrunch or Fold?' campaign:

@Andrexuk - neither I wipe using my hand and and then smear it across my laminated picture of Dawn Porter.

That didn't make it into their next set of adverts!

"Where does it come from, where's it sourced?"

I want to put my foot through the TV screen.

The Galaxy ad with the Audrey Hepburn lookalike on the bus makes me mad. I've always believed that she was a class act, not a hat stealing bh who treats someone doing her a favour as if they're her fking servant.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but YET another ad with a softened up classic track to back it.

Lynx black or summat.

"Welcome to the jungle" is used in the background in a totally ruined version.

Those bloody Iceland ads with The greasy Peter Andre. The very self-obsessed narcissist who would no doubt sell compromising photos of his own family if there was some publicity and a few quid in it for him!

As far as I understand it, the footage is actually her but just cleverly done. The giveaway is that she doesn't actually bite into the chocolate piece she puts in her mouth. Doesn't make it a good advert though!

That's bad enough as it is; I'd hate to think the guardians of her estate would agree to her actual image being used to sell chocolate bars. Bad enough that James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart were used to sell Coke, and Steve McQueen to sell Ford Pumas.

Andrex 'Clean as Golden Pants' -
I'll go out on a limb here and say that the purpose of toilet paper is to avoid golden pants.
If your pants end up golden then you're not wiping properly!!
