That perfume advert with Jonny Depp (Dior, I think) Even having him drive Dodge Charger doesn't make it any less wk. WTF is the Bison supposed to symbolise and why is he wearing eyeliner like Jack Sparrow?!!confused

In fact, come to think of it, any perfume advert is complete wk, TBH! smash

Oh, and John Lewis can take their schmaltzy saccharine st and shove it up their arse as well!

Another Christmas advert nomination.

Tesco.

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

Just stop !
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.
This. One of the worst adverts ever in my view, typical ridiculous male stereotype, woman saves the day, male stereotype is so fking stupid he wouldn't even be allowed out into care in the community. Whoever signed it off needs treatment.

Any advert (usually for films) where a date is mentioned and the narrator says December four instead of December fourth.

Drives me mental

Even December fourth is incorrect - it's an Americanism. It should be stated as December THE fourth or the fourth of December.

Thank goodness it's not just me that hate these adverts! Do Tesco actually believe these sort of adverts make people shop there?

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.
She has a really chavvy voice too.

All of them, all adverts especially the Christmas ones.

Is it just me or did they all wait till Nov 25th and then just let rip with an overwhelming avalanche of adverts?

What really grips is the way they split them into mini ads.

So now what you get is

Program goes to break
This program is sponsored by
Trailer for some show due to start in 3 months
Supermarket ad (20 seconds)
Toy advert (20 second)
Perfume ad
JML ad
another brand supermarket ad
Another perfume
Supermarket ad (another short one)
Toy advert (same co as before)
Trailer for the same show they told me about 5 minutes ago
This program is sponsored by
Program resumes (with 3 minute reminder of what part 1 was about!)
And then if its an american show half the bloody screen is pixelated so you cant see what brand name is on someones hat or tee shirt!

As stated by a few already- all of the fragrance / perfume ads at this time of year are particularly notable for their rolleyes factor. Pretentious crap, every single one of them. But what particularly irks me at the moment are the online casino and betting ads. At certain times, on certain channels it seems that every other ad is portraying a sort of gambling utopia world that comprises of either matey blokes 'having banta', housewives dreamily playing roulette or a glamourous mix of designer clothes and expensive champagne quaffing- all played out with a sub-text that it is both easy, universally acceptable and safe to get into ("we give you £20 in your betting account when you place your first £10 bet"). No other 'product' with a potential for a serious addiction problem is allowed to advertise and promote itself in this way mad .

The PayPal ad, where the couple are walking along and the guy remarks on something in the window. While he's talking about it, she's buying it on line (presumably) and paying with PayPal. I'd be thinking "I was only pointing it out, I didn't want it", and remembering to never pass an opinion on anything ever again, in case it turned up in the next few days.

That's probably just me though.

As annoying as it is, it has Rick & Dick Hoytt in it, so gets a free pass from me.

Have we had the Just Eat radio advert yet currently on Talksport every 20 minutes?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYck8dc5PrE

The thing that pisses me off is that he wants a Chicken Tikka Balti with mushroom FRIED rice. Surely mushroom fried rice is a chinese dish? Where is he going to order from that delivers an indian curry with a chinese rice?

There's and ad on TV at the moment for an e-cigarette (is is Vapit?) which is monumentally up its own ar*e. It shows a sequence of great recent inventions and moments of scientific progress, and has the temerity to suggest that its e-fag ranks alongside these things as a stupendous modern invention.

It's just a sop for fag-smokers who are too lazy and ill-disciplined to give up an addiction.

There is a radio advert for one I detest. It is called 'flavourvapour' and keeps repeating the name without any context while it goes on about how great inhaling vapourised crap is.
