I want to like the new GWR advert, but the animator spoiled it by going all clown car at the end and making the TR3 fall to bits.
Pretty appropriate really considering their "joke" of a service.

Believe everyone on here, you do not want to see it, disgusting and what an example to set to young people today.
There is a school of thought that says the more an ad pi$$e$ you off, the more likely you are to remember the product (and presumably, maybe, try it?)

It's the exact opposite for me, it makes me more determined not to ever buy that product.

Those 2 chattering women about their pee pants.
You notice that the woman (PP1)who recommends the pants to the other woman (PP2) is stood a bit away from PP2 who is surprised how good they are. I feel sorry for the bloke who has PP2's legs round his neck
There will be some who'd pay good money for that! Always been an advocate of a shared shower prior to any lick (and NOT Golden Showers before any clever quips)

And for me! I would never buy any McCain product because of their intolerably sanctimonious ads. Neither would I buy Calgon because of the poor overdubbing and the gross hyperbole in the claims. Other rants are available on request.

I'm the same although I struggle with comparison sites as their ads are all as bad as each other.

Two men. One was a runner-up in a Donald Trump lookalike contest.
Just saw this one, indeed the acting bar has been lowered even further.

At least they've given up the pretence of trying to make it resemble a UK market advert like they've done with previous ones with CGI'd in images of London - they're basically now just showing the US market advert.

Injury Lawyers 4 You.

A cute kiddie will be saying something like ‘I want to be farmer when I grow up ….’

Cut to that child as an adult; ‘
…. until I fell in front of a combine harvester …’. eek

A bit disturbing imho.

The All Clear Insurance adverts.
Nothing to do with paying for yer funeral = good
Nothing to do with borrowing against yer house value = good
Attractive woman who distracts me when ad appears = not good

Oh, absolutely. You'd have to stand over me with a shotgun to make me eat that plastic shyte!

The winner for that one is the mixed girl who wants to ride a motorbike. That demographic probably makes up about 1% of the numbers.

In the Pot Noodle advert, also has a cameo role from that bloody annoying woman at the till on the Asda price match advert. She’s obviously got a good agent.
I noticed that too.

There are some actors that seem to get quite a few gigs in adverts.

When the demand for ticking boxes outstrips the supply of actors. I swear some actors are in adverts for three different businesses.

I would like to see some in more adverts, like the blond in the current Smarty advert and was in the Xmas Thorntons' advert and some cosmetic one before that smile

It's unlikely to make me want to make me smash the TV because it will never be aired...

The Vinted advert where the voiceover can't enunciate "environment". Surely the ad makers have a choice of voices from a casting agency? Couldn't they find someone who could speak properly ?

Mini Countryman with Technotronic's 'Pump Up The Jam' on the soundtrack, a track I could happily live without ever hearing again and now it's on in every sodding ad break on the Dave channel.

The 2 men. The older one is totally a Tim "nice but dim" Harry Enfield rip off.
It is so much like the Harry Enfield character it's unreal
