I can barely and I mean barely remember Top Cat. Who in the name of the wide, wide world of sports is the demographic that Halifax think they are appealing to with their latest advert? People who want to change their mortgage two years before they have settled it? There are people out there who are paying mortgages whose Dads don't remember Top Cat.
Utterly bizarre.
It all suddenly makes a bit more sense now that it comes out that there's a new movie "Top Cat Begins", though it would have made more sense to use the new-updated TC images rather than the classic ones if it is to be a movie tie-in.

That Halifax Top Cat ad I really don't understand. For one thing, Top Cat is unemployed, not to mention a f

The B&Q Bank Holiday ad where they didn't bother putting decimal points in the prices so it looked like a fence panel would cost you £1700 or so.
I think that's Homebase - B&Q have the ones with humans wearing animal costumes doing DIY.Drummond Baize said:

The current Peugeot one with the smug Scottish tosser asking us why don't we chose our cars on what they're actually like rather images portrayed in an advert. Ironic really, because if people did do that they'd probably never buy a Peugeot and smug tosser would be out of a job.
That's Peter Mullan, one of the least smug actors on the planet. He must have been offered a shedload of cash.

Edit - also the new VW Tiguan advert with the supposedly Hipster dad driving his daughter to school.
I've only just seen this one for the first time - they may as well have dressed the tEdited by AlexRS2782 on Sunday 22 May 20:51
t up as Ali G to match that awful blinged up piece of st Volkswagen. And yet again they use a feature to sell it that makes it appeal to people who are too thick to drive properly. I'd rather buy the Avensis he is in in the opening shot.As for the Domino's ad, the tagline at the end may as well be "Eat this and you'll be as retarded as we all are."

Those crap Tesco ads with the wker of a bloke and his fat, smug wife.
I have no idea how Tesco think these rubbish ads will increase sales.
No wonder profits are down!

Popped into my local Tesco today and there were watermelons located at the front of store and dotted around the ends / sides of a couple of other aisles including the fruit / veg ones.
They seemed to be selling rather well judging by the amount of people stuffing one, or more, into a trolley, so the advert seems to have boosted watermelon sales - well local to me in any case
