The Ford eco 4*4 thing advert about keyless entry.
The guy in just some speedo's and smirking about where he has hidden his keyt, and the music is the lollipop song and even uses the 'pop' effect as he gets to the car.
So he has the key up his arse then does he, how lovely.

Also, why are they calling it the "Echosport" rather than what it spells out!

I do wonder if the advertisement agencies have figured out that most people are heartily sick of having the word 'Eco' and the connotations that word brings, stuffed down their throats - hence the chance to 'Echo'
I thought it was just an Americanised pronunciation, but that makes more sense.I did appreciate the wry humour of a car which is neither particularly economical or sporty being called 'ecosport'.

Does anyone know if there are some rules in advertising that prevent a) showing someone actually shaving hair off with a razor (there are always already shaved under the foam) b) people actually using toothpaste to brush their teeth c) using a real packet of crisps or sweets that has a wrinkle from where you've opened it, or a yogurt pot where the foil top has actually ever been attached

Another vote here for the Renault Zoe ad - I hope Paul Weller finds out who signed that song off so he can publicly murder them!
Probably the worst example ever of what I call "Soppy girl singing". Utterly sick making - though I dont suppose it's aimed at 50 year old men.budgie smuggler said:

The Suzuki Vitara one is getting on my tits, with all the hulabaloo that some orange and torquoise pieces of st are about to invade the town, the kid at the end with the "i want to touch them" but yet he doesn't look like he's really that bothered.

The new Cortana advert. OK, so it doesn't have one-armed bandit in any more, but now it deliberately misunderstands the instruction. It's told to remind the voiceover-woman to get something next time they're near a pharmacy, and it says "OK, I'll remind you next time you're in the pharmacy". No! Near the pharmacy, not in it. If I'm in it, it's probably because I've already remembered whatever it was I wanted to buy, that's why I came in here, and some smug phone announcing to the world that I need to get thrush ointment isn't going to be appreciated.
