No one mentioned Lewis Hamilton in his L'oreal advert yet?
Noticed they've dropped his lines recently as clearly acting is not in his foreseeable future.
Stick to driving Lewis.
On a side note, does anybody actually buy stuff because it's been promoted by a celeb? Do they actually think that by buying said piece of tat that people will think they move in the same circles of said celeb? Or is it a case of if it's good enough for Lewis, it's good enough for me ignoring the fact that Lewis or whoever gets a shed load of cash and couldn't really give a monkeys over the product being promoted?
Always seemed odd to me.
yes! (Kind of)... I was going to buy the Sure deodorant linked with Williams..Noticed they've dropped his lines recently as clearly acting is not in his foreseeable future.

... But forgot and bought my usual stuff
And I've looked at G Shock watches due to Guy Martin always sporting one.
With most stuff, celebrity endorsements is just a money thing, but if it's something that a certain celebrity uses for their profession, then there is something to it. Like I have bought bodyboards (the good ones, not the £20 ones) based on the pro riders and generally they have been good, same with the Nike footy boots I had that were the same as Cantona's (yes, it was years ago), but if a pro bodyboarder or Cantona recommended a stereo or dishwasher, I wouldn't buy it because their name is linked to it.
The Nivea Man advert is winding me up, because I don't know anything about football. And because of that, it just looks like it starts with a well-dressed man sitting on a bus waving and smiling at a very young girl, who then makes a face at him. It's only a scene or two later it becomes obvious that this is a footballer on the team coach, not something much worse.
I don't think we've had this one yet, but the latest round of Iceland ads. Some smug middles-class family seem suddenly surprised when a home delivery turns up, almost as if they've never ordered it. There follows their observations on what they've been delivered, items they've clearly never heard of or seen before, the typical frozen c*ap Iceland have been offering the lower end of the social scale for decades.
The reason it's cheap, you monkeys, is because it's pumped full of additives, e-numbers and water! Gosh look - chicken breasts you can cook from frozen! YOu can count me out, I don't fancy sitting on the crapper all the next day.

Mrs Tapeworm is a trash TV enthusiast and as such one of the things on her watch list is "Love Island" - the episodes are sponsored by Superdrug, the bits they have before and after each ad break make me want to smash the whole house up just to get to the TV.

Tesco scraping the barrel this evening with their Fathers Day advert 
To sum up - family members have recorded sickly saccharine messages for their father and they get played over the tannoy system, for all to hear, whilst both dad & family member(s) just happen to have arrived in the store.

f
king Betsafe. Especially the one where the fking silly fking cow says that tottenhamdan1977 has paid for the plush surroundings and then invites him to double or quits.
It annoys me so much I reported it to the ASA but they think its fine to promote losing a fk ton of money then suggesting they lose some more.
wkers.

kers.I listen to the radio whilst at work so am subjected to some awful radio ads.
The latest cringey ones are for Asda featuring James Martin where someone calls James for recipe advice. The callers have (so far) all been women and when James tells them his recipe they practically have an orgasm!! Just waiting for the where James pretends to feed his sausage to the caller!!
