That Virgin broadband advert where the mum tells her daughter...

'This is who I want you to be'

fk off with your brain washing controlling st!! If your daughter wants to live on a sink estate with four kids by three different fathers and an MOT expired Zafira rotting 'Police Aware' style on the drive then that's her fking choice, not yours!

Just 'cos you got knocked up higher than a kite round the back of a chippie one Friday night after too many WKD Blues by some football shirt wearing chav doesn't give you the right force your dreams and expectations on your daughter.

BGO Bingo with Verne Troyer and Paris Hilton.

Not one specific ad but a recurring theme. Feeble 'music bites' of what we're great classic songs.

For example, Bohemian Rhapsody in spoken form, Favourite Things altered and sung by what sounds like a nine-year-old.

Not exactly the same thing, but Scott Mills was talking about this years ago. They were talking about what would be the new Marks & Spencer advert (I think it was a Frankie goes to Hollywood cover) since it was always just some old classic with a sweet girl singing over it. So they had Gabrielle Aplin cover Killing in the Name Of to give M&S Christmas Ideas. hehe

Edit- am still in holiday mode. RATM lyrics are sweary.

Zoopla with the woman having a fit (supposed psychic connection with the house) who then offers both her partner and the estate agent upstairs, presumably for a threesome.

Not sure if it's on the telly, but on YouTube that Mars advert with the bloke riding the girl's bike really annoys me. Even more so, it seems to be on before every bloody video I watch and you can't skip it!

I actually said to someone the other day "Nothing says "unplanned pregnancy" more than a base model Vauxhall Zafira".

I seem to spend most of my time posting in this thread now but I can't let the latest "no,no - no,no,no,no...." Head And Shoulders advert go without a mention.
What is Joe Hart thinking of ? Reputedly he's on £110k per week but has to stoop to doing stuff like this ? I know it's easy money and all that but really ?

Aldi's new one is pretty poor by their standards; Nicola Adams is even more wooden than Rory McIlroy's impression of an oak tree in the Santander ad.

I can only assume there is a little challenge between the various football stars to do the worst shampoo advert possible, I can't think of any other reason to be involved in anything this terrible.

I was forced to the cinema recently to watch the new (terrible) Snoopy movie with my daughter and in the middle of playing with the nice new electric seats I was presented with a bizarre advert for the Canary Islands. I can't recall the exact details of it which highlights how poor it was but essentially there were three small features showing a person in a certain country doing something fairly ordinary. Then at the end, with no reference to the previous content it told me to go to the Canary Islands.

At least I think all this happened, now that I type this out it seems even worse than I recall - I did email myself from the cinema as a reminder to look it up again though. No sign of it anywhere. Perhaps it was a terrible dream?

Can anyone confirm this exists and that I haven't gone insane due to the cost of cinema tickets?

The current advert on ITV4 showing that they're shortly to start running "Family Guy" is really getting on my wick - voiceover chap in studio doing voiceover, with animated character (presumably from FG) making annoying noises.

"Giggity". Again and again. I really dislike Family Guy, so I found it just as annoying ...
