Put slow romantic music on, light some candles and channel catholic rabbits until one of you give up.

If they are aiming at the Fiat 500 demographic (straight women and gay men) it's not going to work for everybody.

Any company that has an advert with nonchalant whistling as the music, it's becoming endemic - Just fk off!!

Adverts for insurance & pensions aimed at older people offering a free ballpoint pen and they can keep it even if they cancel their application.

Do the elderly covet ballpoint pens?

A weird one is the skittles ad that has an old jamaican geezer looking like he's milking/wking off a Giraffe??????

WTF!! And then he lets out a really creepy laugh.

Bizarre advert!

Vax Air Cordless Lift "You can't see a cord because there is no cord. It's cordless".

It's a matter for regret that there is no convenient car park in which I could fight you.

I think it's a Toyota film sponsorship type ad where you see a single Toyota driving in lane two of a deserted dual carriageway...

Same. Fecking Emotional blackmail. Same with all the other televised charity drives, begging people to give money so they feel better about themselves.

I give to charities I deem worthy/local at random points during the year, not because I see a picture of some random african child pulling water out of a well....

Any advert with some breathy cover version as the music.

similarly, cancer adverts with a small child actor shuffling solemnly down a dimly lit hospital corridor with her drip, your £4 per month could save her.

2 adverts later she's bouncing around a french playground tucking into a Petit Filous yoghurt.

That really does have to be the crappiest name for a car ever. And that's including all the utterly stupid ones Japanese car makers have ever come up with.

I loved the CAR Magazine GBU some up for the original Duster: 'Duster to dust, ashes to ashes, quick someone pass us the matches'

Scarily I've seen it appear in the greatest adverts ever thread.
Each to their own I suppose.
