The current duo of Ford adverts.

“The first horse is white, the second horse is red” .... fark me it’s annoying. Can’t get to the mute button quick enough.

The James Brown sample on the new one. I hope The Godfather Of Soul is turning in his grave. Piss poor.
Have they decided it's ok to play the Wifebeater of Soul again? I struggle to keep up with who is allowed and who isn't. No doubt MJ and GG will be back in favour soon. wobble

So have you actually done the deed or posturing?
Bet he hasn't smile
I opened an account with Bet365 last year so I could watch a live football match that I particularly wanted to see (albeit on a screen about the size of a matchbox) and a few months later they gave me a free £5 bet on the FA Cup final. I put my £5 on Leicester to win 1-0 and won £45.

Nothing to do with advertising; I'm just showing off.

very very nearly,smash
actually i want to go round to that fred dones house & the others and smash theirs up, yes
that would make me feel better

i do wonder how the hell the tv standards agency are happy to let that amount of gambling advertising on everywhere, all the time
its ridiculous
i even hate the "when the fun stops, Stop," message
i dont think any gambling addict takes that on board, you cant easily get an addict to stop,
like telling a crack head to stop when the fun stops
or telling an alcolholic to stop when the fun stops

i see it as a disease, that is now an epidemic,

Have you noticed the "When the fun stops, stop" warning is on for a few milliseconds? I'm sure it's some legal requirement but it probably doesn't tell them for how long it needs to be shown.

And the word FUN is always in a larger font than the rest of the slogan.

Since I am £45 up on a bet I didn't pay for in the first place I guess I should stop.

You may have difficulty benefiting from your windfall as the T&Cs on these sites are tighter than a duck's arse.

Just seen an advert featuring the McLaren F1 team in collaboration with something or other, Cisco WebEx and Driving Hybrid Work.

I have absolutely no idea what it was on about or trying to sell, but pretty sure I don’t want it whatever it is.

James May once made an amusing comment on Top Gear about those massive billboard adverts you see in major airports, where no one understands them. This ad is like a tv version of one of those.

Total bloody gobbledegook, they might as well have scripted it in Swahili and cast a lost tribe of Amazonians to act it out.

The yodelling Dominos advert. As terrible as the Snickers one, where the rock climber is screaming.
Agreed on the Dominos one but the Snickers one makes me chuckle every time.

Perfume brands can be relied upon for nonsensical, wk adverts but putting James Corden in a nonsensical, wk perfume advert? Not sure if it’s actually genius or utter, utter ste (I am sure, it’s the latter).

The Dominos yodelling is cretinous for sure, but the worst bit for me is the now obligatory for seemingly all adverts "We've got this".

That wouldn't be so bad, except that it many cases it's "We got this".
