You've only seen it once, oh how I envy you! It seems to be on every other ad break or either of the current Trivago ads (sort your wonky fringe woman ffs!)
Glad I'm not the only one annoyed by that fringe. She is probably quite a looker, but I just can't get past the fringe !
I'm sure there's a bet going on between two advertising exec's as to how far they can push her before she quits as I seem to remeber some pretty awful looking costumes in the past & now the wonky fringe (more so in the gym ad rather than the old bird with gold card ad)

The Toyota AYGO advert.

I find it generally irritating and am far from outraged, I simply find the woman sending text messages where she uses "her flat mate being out WINKY FACE" as a good reason why the guy should see her and not seeing his mates a little annoying.

Can you imagine an advert with a bloke telling a woman the same thing, I half expect certain groups of people having a meltdown about blokes controlling women and preventing them seeing their friendslaugh

Mr Angry from Gladstone Brookes will be thumping people who don't claim PPI soon! He now taps the screen and shouts at the viewer as the deadline is approaching. Would just love an irate viewer to thump him in the middle of his crass advert!

The Twotty Lottery (Poppy Lottery!)
What a contrived load of bks, they have an overly happy excited bunch of people, white men and women, a sikh guy, even a black lollypop lady all happy in the knowledge that about a 1/4p from each quid goes to someone who knew a bloke in the army once!

Even my 12 yr old daughter starts laughing when it comes on and shouts, its the Twotty Lottery! biggrin

The new installment of the Smart Meter Ad.

Basically lots of children saying "fank uuuuuu" to everybody that has already switched to a Smart Meter and trying to encourage more to do so.

Edit:
Yup, they can all right off!

The TUI adverts that have been running for the past few months get me. What's with all the dancing in them? Not dancing as in it's part of the creative idea for the advert but it seems as if it's an activity on the actual holiday being sold. But they're not dancing in say a nightclub or somewhere appropriate but outside during the day. Just strikes me as very odd.

Car adverts. All of them. When was the last time you saw a good one?
There are a couple, that only show in an afternoon, that have no sound.

I have no idea why, maybe sound is extra perhaps? But majorly irritating as I always assume the sudden silence is the dog sitting on the TV remote.

I don't wish to judge your lifestyle negatively, but have you met and spent time with "a woman" before?

That is what they do. Get excited about mundane stuff.

Every car ad and computer ad telling me that I can still live my life to the max and I can even more with this Renault or HP computer. Apparently it's all about me, well it's not is it, I have to buy your thing for it to be all about me, and because it's me you can go away thanks!

When will these twonks change the record, you have to be so dumb not to see through it.

I truly loath advertising, the sterotypes, the awful racial placements, the strummy guitar, it is so sickening!!

Any server who bridles at “Can i get?” should be fired immediately, and someone should be hired who understands and accepts that it is a perfectly normal and understandable use of modern speech.
No it isn't. It's sloppy and inaccurate.

The only two appropriate responses a server should ever give in response to "Can I get xxxxx?" are:

(1) No, sir, I'm afraid you're not permitted into the kitchen. Would you like me to fetch one for you?

(2) Yes, you can 'get' that here. Would you like one?

Adverts with hopelessly trite idealised families.

The Morrisons one with the mixed race couple, AND a downs syndrome little girl is a humdinger.

Not forgetting the nauseating family in convulsions over the brat telling them his arse is a clean as a baked bean on a surfboard. Little tt.

No, I think Bluedot is muddying the waters.

You guys are indeed thinking of Moneysupermarket.

Bluedot is on about On The Market, different product, and they do use a Chas 'n' Dave number.
