The Hungry House advert where two rather camp individuals sitting on a sofa are shouting at each other about Prawn balls and Chicken balls.

I've forgotten the name now but it's a "New way to buy a phone"

or something.

Only thing that saves it,it has a large yellow parrot in the ad.

That Barclaycard girl jumping up and down on her sofa is on nearly every advert break. I wish she would bounce out of the window and take her parrot with her!

"As clean as a man called David".....Andrex.

I'd nominate the boy who says that for the punch in the face thread but I'd be arrested.

I noticed last night on Dave that Vistaprint were advertising some special offer called "VT2911" or something like that. "Use the discount before November 29th" went the voiceover. Except it was already November 29th, so what's the point of still running the ad? Even if you meant "up to and including", it's still a bit pointless running it at 23.15 on the closing day.

Ninja Coffee Bar advert, random stalking creep of a coffee bar owner breaks into actress Sofia Vergara's house and accosts her over no longer buying coffee from his shop. She proceeds to tell him she now makes her own coffee. Never heard her speak before but she would have been great in the silent movie age.

Has anyone mentioned the Mentos advert with the children asking adults to be creepy when approaching complete strangers? It get's particularly weird when one child gets the adult to ask a stranger "do you want to come back to my house?"

I know it's very highly likely to be faked, but it just seems a bit of a, well, creepy theme for sweets tbh.

It also seems like the company responsible for the ad came up with the idea after watching a few minutes of C4's Secret life of 4y/o's and thought, "ah lets just play off the back of that, it will be well funny". Maybe they're the same company responsible for the HungryHouse one, as that's essentially just a bunch of selected idiots being asked to pretend to be on Googlebox but with some takeaway instead.

B & M have a current ad which shows primaty-school kids supposedly shopping for Xmas presents for their friends. Huh???

Since when did kids of that age buy "any" presents for their schoolfriends, let alone major items like packaged dolls? Not in my childhood - have things changed?

B & M brings back memories. we used to deal with the original family that owned it. Going back some years now. Also they stocked a Christmas Santa outfit. Think it was for kids. Every year they would wheel them out and pop them on the shelves as you expect. Point was that the model who err modelled them worked for us and was mortified to be reminded of it.

This has probably been mentioned too.

fking Halifax Bank fking Flintstones advert

1. ITV4 have it in EVERY break
2. It sounds like Fred and Wilma recorded their lines from the bottom of a well
3. The way the bank guy adjusts his tie while telling the wker unfunny muffled cartoons that they´re going to get 100 quid
4. There is NO MENTION of the benefits or otherwise of moving to Halifax, apart from getting this hundred quid to buy some new trainers

ps off! Now!

That job app (red background on the app), maybe called "job appy" or something equally disgusting.

Some girl is not spending time with her family because she's on her phone.... "little does she know that I've used this app to find a new job"

  • poof*
now she's a waitress...

hurrah that's something worth aspiring for.

I suppose can see the argument in this day and age when it only take 3 people to get an advert banned for whatever reason froths out of their mouth to ensure they don't oversell but really.

I guess I'm also unbelievably snobby, but why not make her a chef?

App probably doesn't have a listing for Chef. Clearly it's aimed at people for whom the word would be Cook.

Bad news... the original annoying couple and their talking dog are back in a new annoying ad for that credit ratings check company.
The dog asks where he's going and the bloke replies "Lanzhasmush", after seeing it several times I've finally worked out he's saying "Nan's house Lewis".
"Nan's house, Moose!"

boxedin
Moose? But in the first advert the dogs name is Lewis, he says Lewis, clear as day, no ambiguity whatsoever, he says Lewis.

If the dogs name is in fact Moose, then why in the juddering fk is he calling it Lewis in the first advert and Mush in the second?
