Yep its just into November and it seems that every advert is for christmas stuff

Are the Christmas stink water ones out yet? They seem to be a bit thin on the ground so far...

Seen a couple already. There's one with Johnny Depp which seems to tick every off cliché in the book.

See also the adverts for stupid board/card/whatever games. Couldn't tell you what they were selling but the sort of thing you only see in the run-up to Christmas.

Wonga where they say the interest rate is "One five oh nine percent" instead of "One thousand five hundred and nine percent"

Trying to soften the blow by making it sound better eh?

Ikea.
Erm, what the fk. The 70's style animation/live action, whatever it is, is pretty weird/cool...but then it's just the tagline of Ikea #somethingsomething#...it has no reference to Ikea. wk.

I've noticed an increasing trend of promos for films and DVDs being shoehorned into ads for completely unrelated products. For example those bd Minion things that are already on every fking product you can find in most supermarkets, but now promos for the DVDs are being put into other adverts such as the (I think) Karcher one.

Tesco.

The "family" of Ben Miller,Ruth Jones and drippy son.

I thought it was not called Gas safe? But most people still think of CORGI.

It is called Gas Safe these days, but joe bloggs doesn't know that. If I changed my name to Ford Guaranteed by deed poll and opened a used car sales business I'd get fairly short shrift if I tried to call it Ford Guaranteed Used Cars.

I agree. It's a very crafty way of advertising.

BT Infinity(?) with that karate bloke catching flies and then her gagging into a bucket. Something I don't want to see or hear at tea time.

Hive....be it radio or on tv just makes me want to tear my ears off.

All Hive offer is the ability to remote-control your central heating system from your mobile phone. For this they want a minimum of £249.

My central heating system, like everyone else's, has both a thermostat and a timer allowing me to set it up to come on and off whenever I like. Hive can fk right off.

With you on that. Its the rhyme rugby and warm and snuggly which makes me want to inflict violence.

Why are so many Hollywood stars doing adverts now?

Latest being Willem The Grinch Defoe on BT and now Jeff Goldblum for Currys PC World.

Both of which are terrible adverts.

Come the Revolution, they are the first bunch of s up against the wall!

Who the fk signed these advert's off? The one with the mongo kid trying to chat up the milf....it's like it was written (and acted) by primary school kids.

[Bluedot]

The Warburtons Muppets one.

The Muppets were something from the 70's and should stay there.

I wondered if Victoria Plumb (the smug woman in the trendy bath from a while back) and the more recent ads for Victorian Plumbing are related. Not enough to research it, of course.

If nothing else they have addressed my previous issue raised on this very thread by having a Plum as their logo for Plumbing company...its gone!

Current piss boiler advert is the AO.com new one.

Oh no my cookers broke down and I've got a dinner party.

No problem, I'll order a cooker and it'll come NEXT DAY

Installed and ready to go. The dinner party was saved.

I'm sorry, how was it saved. It was delivered THE DAY AFTER YOUR DINNER PARTY YOU MONG

[budgie smuggler]

Travelogical. I WILL NEVER STAY IN YOUR HOTEL

Full length version twice on a row on 4od last night. Not two separate ad breaks, literally straight after the first ad, it came back on again.

Put on the radio in the car this morning. SAME fkING AD. S

[Mcphisto]

The Christmas Aldi one with the woman craming words in to fit the tune of favourite things (i think) It's just the way she sings it, drives me crazy for the mute button.
