Bradley Wiggins in the new Skoda advert, team sky is sponsored by Jaguar I believe.
I see he's on 'The Jump' (seen it advertised) as well, I think he's gonna be popping up on every celeb thing and every endorsement possible from now on.
Good luck to him really, I'd probably do the same rolleyes

Not sure on the relevance - Wiggins hasn't been part of Team Sky for quite some time now and Team Sky changed from Jaguars to Fords about a year ago I think.

Vanquis Credit Card - the knight riding into the castle is clearly not any sort of actor, and has some kind of weird Northern accent. Must have spent all their budget on the extras.

As above, Ford now.

But Skoda sponsor the Tour de France and the British Tours (Men's and Womens)

Some feminine hygiene ad using blue liquid

Protagonist's bloke is clipping his toenails and one lands on the irritated and clearly superior female who then proceeds to roll him up in the sofabed until there is no longer any trace of him.

Men, know your place.

Geeze, I wish they showed children's programmes like GoT when I was a kid. Tea time telly would have been a much more explicit event before Neighbours started at 1730...

Clipping your toenails in someone else's presence is disgusting enough without the clippings landing on the someone else.

The adverts for womens essentials. Evidently these essentials are so small you can still get a camel toe in them.
And you can DJ because "being a woman means I can step up or step aside".
DJ's have come a long way since Tony Blackburn

ClearScore appear to have replaced "Moose" the dog with a man & a woman sharing a bed alongside their talking pet cat.

I can now only assume that they don't actually have an advertising company employed. And the ideas are coming from Clear Score's owners 8 year old daughter.

Nationwide and their ads with people sat in front of the camera smugly reciting crappy poetry about everyday st.

It doesn't help that I despise poetry but I just find those adverts unbearable, will dive for the mute button.

Not an advert as such but the promo links that BBC1 have on between programmes, especialy the keep fit class one with the overly enthusiastic teacher putting on stupid faces and the woman who's simply there to make up the numbers on the right.
Just been going back through a few pages and see it's already been mentioned!

Glad it's not just me.

Oak Furniture Land or whatever it's called. The premise being that their st furniture is somehow superior because it's made of cheap Oak. Even though it looks like it was designed by a 4 year old with a crayon, and ignoring the fact that some of the finest furniture ever made was veneered....

it's not really about toenails though is it... more like institutionalised sexism, but because it's targeting men it's all fine!

I had the misfortune to see one of these ads last night. It wasn't just the poetry: the use of Nimrod to help sell mortgages is a heinous crime.
