"british seniors insurance agency"
woman that looks about 50 wittering to camera about reasons why older people need insurance, yet she is doing so within a kitchen that looks like it belongs to an 90 year old living in the 1980s. Weirdly they also seem to have a son that looks about 18.
The bit that drives me nuts though is at the end, the husband is shown fixing a knackered old corsa (faded red paint and everything) on his driveway, and he says with satisfaction "this will run for years and years". The son then says "just like you"; and all three laugh uproariously.
EXCEPT THAT'S NOT A JOKE.
What would be a joke would be if he had said "Unlike you, you old
". Also, that surely would better validate the need for old people insurance, so not only is it not funny and not a joke, it isn't even on message.
Mrs 2CV is getting sick of me ranting about it.

I seem to spend most of my time posting in this thread now but I can't let the latest "no,no - no,no,no,no...." Head And Shoulders advert go without a mention.
What is Joe Hart thinking of ? Reputedly he's on £110k per week but has to stoop to doing stuff like this ? I know it's easy money and all that but really ?
I can only assume there is a little challenge between the various football stars to do the worst shampoo advert possible, I can't think of any other reason to be involved in anything this terrible.What is Joe Hart thinking of ?

Who can forget this classic from Jason McAteer.

"Shpock: the boot sale app", is my current pet hate.
As a non-hipster, I can tell this site isn't for me.
It has to be the most pointless advert ever in the world! It is trying to appeal to some strange age/groups. As I really don't see how some girl having a pillow fit in her undies has any relevance to selling stuff. Just daft!As a non-hipster, I can tell this site isn't for me.

Do us all a favour and take your "booking" ad and shove it where the sun never "booking" shines. Whoever devised that "booking" ad, wants a "booking" punch in the "booking" gob.
I think that ad was directed by Beavis and Butthead. "Hurhurhur, look, the word "booking" sounds a bit like "f**king" hurhurhurhur, hurhurhur".....Childish morons.
