I thought it funny myself until you spot the daft premise. He's staying in a hotel and using their eating facilities / restaurant, why would he need his own baked beans? Was he going to ask them to heat them up for him? wink
He doesn't like funny foreign food. Which reminds me of a fifty year old package tour to Florida. One tour member took a suitcase full of cheese sandwiches.

Halfords ones on YouTube.

Especially the one with the gormless bloke and his wipers.

"My wipers are smearing, do you think I should replace them.

Nah mate, I think you buy a brand new car, just to be on the safe side.

I remember meeting a surveyor at Heathrow, we were both traveling to Saudi and he had a brief case packed with pork pies... Things didn't go well for him on arrival Jeddah.

Bold still plumbing the depths with their awful family ads.

This time it’s a clumsy brat “living her best life” after mum managed to get the choccy milkshake off her T-shirt

Upon seeing the Channel 4 "climate crisis" advert for the first time, my first thought was how that passed the standards test.
It turns out it's Ofcom who monitor that not the ASA .
That's my interpretation of the procedure anyway. I have complained to them
I complained to ASA and yes the useless numpties rejected it as ‘not my job’. An advert but not the right sort of advert

We’ve considered your complaint carefully, however in this instance your concerns are not covered by the advertising rules…
..
The advert you complained about is not covered by the Advertising Rules because it is a promotional ad for Channel Four’s own programmes..

Yet, one person complained about the Toyota pickups driving on a dirt road, and it's banned.
The ASA are a sham organisation.

So, you expect an organisation which operates within clear rules , to ignore them in respect of something you don't like. ? If it banned something you do like ,and in doing so again acted outside its authority , I 'd venture a guess you would be unhappy about that ?

Michael Bublé sings in front of Asda. Like that's going to make me shop there.

Wait, there's another bit where he knows Asda products taste as good as M&S. Who cares what he thinks and I reckon the chances of him having ever shopped at Asda are about zero

Now that YT have clamped down on AdBlcokers I'm now finding myself bombarded with all sorts of irritating adverts!

There are 3 which for some reason crop up all the time and they're parcel2go, Mous cases and some fckin flavoured smoked salmon which I swear if I hear that say "this is our Augustus Gloop flavour" again my fist is going through my laptop screen.

The Mous case ones are equally annoying and suffer from YouTuber syndrome where they just shout down the camera at you furious

Just Eats, mainly on Spotify. Some black bloke keeps saying "efforless", not pronouncing the T, some sort of street talk? Stop vandalising the English language! Pisses me off

i had to seek this out as i had no idea about it as we dont watch ch4 much, but after reading this thread, i would say it has probably achieved its goal. People talking about it, regardless of whether you agree with it nor not.

A couple of one grinding my gears recently...

The return of the Celebrations one with the two identical weirdos doing nothing but whooping in increasingly high pitches. Strikes me as bordering on special needs behaviour....

Also, the recent glut of "Wombat" variations on the Meerkat adverts.... Just fk off punch
