New one (to me) that's just put my back up.

Renault Kadjar. Couple about to sign their divorce papers discuss in said qashquai in a beret how they are going to split their assets (which seem extravagant for a couple with a Renault as a daily) and get to the "beach house", turn around and go have sex in it.

As if a Generic if capable SUV/PCP drain can inspire and rekindle a dead marriage.

Ridiculous.
Agreed - but if you follow the logic, it's the beach house that rekindled their marriage. They could have been driving any old shed.

Just makes the ad even worse.

The Bruce Lee style dubbing at the end particularly grates as well.
It probably contains some subliminal message that will convince doggers and swingers to buy a Renault Kadjar.

The PPI adverts with Swartzenegger's head on a track drive. Whoever the FCA paid to make the adverts must have been as high as a kite.
So far that advert has worked much better for the ad agency promoting itself, rather than the FCA, and showing how to get an advert mass coverage / publicity and discussion on social media. Based on the amount of coverage the advert has had throughout the day on the news channels and then social media, more people are talking about Mr Terminator lending his voice to the advert that they are the FCA / final PPI deadline.

90% of what I watch is either on Netflix or recorded so I can skip the add.. thank god, but when watching kids TV with the smallest, the ads really grateful. All terrible acting, stupid dancing and waving the product about,and terrible dubbing, I hate them all!

This (along with the other poem ones) is one of the few adverts that actually means i will never use that company, go compare being another one shoot

I heard on the news today that the FCA are spending millions on advertising for this PPI stuff. Millions! They can give the money to me and I can make a better advert for pennies and then keep the change.

Not so much annoying (though it is being repeated a lot so could swiftly become annoying) is the Dolmio advert with Dominic West. The mum shouts at him and his son to stop playing computer games and he starts a dramatic American dialogue before being interrupted. The other day I noticed that outside the house in the advert its raining and I cant help but wonder if they made it like that because someone would phone up the company complaining that they were promoting kids playing computer games when they "should be playing outside!" And to counteract that they can say that the weather was too horrible to be outside.

The other advert that is really grating is the Skysports advert on the radio with Gary fking Neville screeching into the microphone because of the "exciting" new way that Sky has come up with to rake in more money! Plays at least twice every advert break on Talksport at the moment!

The EE advert with Kevin Bacon offering their customers an upgrade on the aeroplane. Not only is it shown on the TV, it was on at the cinema before the film I went to see.

The nationwide or Barclays adds where they get a patronising wker to talk to the camera in an odd rhythm as if they're reading a poem, which is giving us all a valuable life lesson. s.

Also the we buy any car add where the girls says 'you could get more for it if you sold it privately. Can you believe they just let me say that??!!'

I wonder if the same ad agency are responsible for the VW Golf GTE advert?

Similar theme but features clips of TV & movie "baddies" (VW's description) wasting electricity before cutting to the tagline of "Golf GTE hybrid - a more responsible use of power".

Idris (able was I ere I saw ) Elba - please learn English.

It's not Haitch. It never was, and never will be. I don't know what sort of special needs school you attended, and don't care. Your parents could have attempted remedial teaching, but couldn't be a*sed. STOP SAYING IT! You're making yourself look a twunt. How can anybody cast you in a leading role if you can't even speak the alphabet?

I actually turned off the telly just now before I got too close to a heart attack. I HATE YOU! - when you say it that way........
