New Emirates advert with Jeremy Clarkson...

I'm sure they are aiming first class seats at that huge target market who tune in to Emmerdale and Coronation Street

The new BT advert for their movies or TV channel.

Advert shows grandson and grandma growing up, gran getting old and young lad looking after her whilst constantly doing Star Wars references. The advert looks like it was made for Age Concern or some similar charity, and the first time I saw the BT bit come up at the end I laughed - I don't think the ad makes any sense at all in the context of promoting BT TV!

[Balmoral]

The current round of Christmas epics, directed and produced by people who think they're Cecil B. DeMille, associating a brand with generations of families at Christmas and brazenly claiming that their poxy product/service is what Christmas is all about.

Some company selling second hand watches.

Normally people wear the watch on their non-dominant hand. Just annoyed me.

Youi know I'm so thick I thought it was mother and son.
It actually touched me quite a bit. I like it for that reason.

I assumed it was some sort of special needs charity thing - the kid looked like a bit of a loser
Anyway, a ste ad, given that it supposed to sell a phone/broadband system.

The new Oral B advert. The girl in the dress who pops the toothbrush against her skin to show how gentle it can be.
I get nawwty thoughts about how that toothbrush would fair against the "little man in the canoe "

that is the absolute message though. Wouldn't it be a great way to significantly broaden the market?

"Oral B: Here, use these on your minge"

Isnt that what electric toothbrushes are for?

Unless you watch golf you wont have seen them, but any PXG advert is just the worst. I will never buy anything from them because it annoys me so much.

That is SO un pc
The BT adverts have come such a long way since the days of Kris Marshall and that woman. Then the 3 flat sharing dorkers. I mentioned this earlier to the wife and she said what do you expect. Fat boy was plugging the home hub 3
How time flies

Indeed; one can purchase a special attachment for electric toothbrushes.

Never !
As in really ?

The Samsung phone one with 'Ozzy man' voice over if anyone is familiar with him on YouTube his whole 'schtick' involves him swearing a lot, but as you can't swear on normal TV it just gets annoying.

Yep, utterly rubbish. Looks like the kind of advert they come up with in 20 mins on The Apprentice

They've even uploaded a karaoke version FFS (no, I haven't watched it - my skin crawled off the moment I saw in the Recommended sidebar. I'm now very cold).

Yah; really. (delivered in best Dr Evil voice).

An ex-squeeze of mine had one.

The Vodafone Martin Freeman adverts get on my tits. The latest one being he is on the verge of a new relationship with this new hottie but says he cant call her because he is out of credit. So instead of laughing him off into the distance she buys him a phone.

I know Wilbur is an annoying little cgi st, but why does the British gas guy have to be such an arse to him in the ads?
Always talking down to him like he's an invalid, really gets on my knackers.

[jonm01]

"I can call you at 3 am"

[Halb]

The ads with Martin Freeman in them.
Awful, his smug lil smarmy face ruining one of the best xmas films, and coming over all creepy.

The girl played the welsh school girlfriend of Tyler Boyce in The Green Green Grass. So it does seem very creepy, until you realise she's 33 now and he's only 46.





Still creepy though.
