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.

Or John Mills advertising Carlsberg.

Oh, wait....

I realise I'm on shaky ground here, but I'm OK with those because it's really Griff Rhys Jones selling the product, intercut with scenes with famous actors; but they're not digitally manipulated to show them doing something they're not. If you know what I mean.

The new Air Wick advert that just appeared during ITV news.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBASpLJ0-QI

"This is Anna & David getting to know the new neighbours".
"This is a vanilla scent which is calming and reminding Anna to tell that funny story about last summer".
"Now white flowers making her realise she really likes this couple".
"This is our new scent saying stay a while this is Anna on a roll".

Jesus titty fking Christ. What sort of bellends actually come out with this sort of crap

[kowalski655]

"This is Anna and David inviting the neighbours over for a swapping session!"

Yes, but no, but....

Actually has 'Carlsberg' on the glasses in the film. An early example of product placement?

I deserve a whoosh here. I've only just realised what you were referring to.

The climax of 'Ice Cold in Alex' always make me think 'god that looks good', even though I don't like Carly.

In the book they drink a lager called Rheingold.

Well ps off then.

Agreed. Really annoying.

fking advert for the Android version of Siri called 'Cortana'. Whoever the fk those pricks are, they are apparently a band we are meant to have heard of. The main spokesprick for this band carries on a conversation with a phone who appears to have slightly more personality than him. This excruciatingly flirty attempt at a Turing test finishes by him saying 'You made me laugh Cortana'.

At this point I want to hurl my TV out the window like a comically oversized frisbee.

Don't be too hard on the poor guy. Remember, he has to justify it to himself for the rest of his life.

I fking hate this advert with a venomous passion. The alleged musicians look like a st band made up of public schoolboys and stage-school wannabes who would make the kind of tedious, drab, bland music that would be chosen for an advert by an organic muesli company and Cortana is such an obvious copy of Siri that I can't imagine why Apple haven't sued.

Edit - I've looked the s up on Google.

The band is called Clean Bandit and their Wikipedia entry is the most cringeworthy thing I've seen since that thread was closed.

Quotes -

"Band members Jack Patterson, Grace Chatto, and Milan Neil Amin-Smith met while studying as undergraduates at Jesus College, University of Cambridge. At the time, Amin-Smith was leading a string quartet together with Chatto, who both attended Westminster School."

"The band mixes electronic music with classical pieces by composers such as Mozart and Shostakovich. Some of their music also involves tongue in cheek humour."

Yes, have it on my phone (Lumia), but never use it, and probably never will..

There is an advert on the radio at the moment for some google app.Women asking is everyone ok with splitting the bill?

She then asks her phone what is 133 divided by 7.It's bad enough she can't work it out in her head but after being told the answer is 19,she then asks the phone to add 10%.It might be 1.90 you dimwit.

The new Wickes advert about bodgers.
Well fk you you fking stupid fking s.
Is alienating the customers who use your fking st shed a good idea?

No. s.

The latest Lidl advert full of pretentious tts supposedly aghast that Lamb can be bought for £10.39 in a supermarket.

"Where does it come from? Wheres it sourced... Where is this place, you have to tell us..."

Just fk off you bunch of monumental mongs

[Cupramax]

Oh, and while I'm at it, Lineker, the jug eared, crisp chomping tt. "oh, a Dorito!"

[CooperD]

Possibly because it seems to be on all the time but the Barclays advert with Alan Shearer telling us about his first game at St James Park and all the Geordies chirping in about driving the tram or making the pies he ate there. I find it really annoying and it certainly won't make me want to open an account with that particular bank.

The new Allianze advert with these two;

Can't find a link to the actual advert but anyone else getting it??

[AlexRS2782]

The .gov advert telling people about whether or not they are registered to vote featuring "real" members of the public being told they're not allowed to do certain things.

What a load of ste.

The one where the dad picks up his daughter and they break into a singing / jam session?

Saw that last night during Person of Interest and thought WTF is that all about.
