EasyJet, with the unobservant, androgynous-looking person playing hide-and-seek in various holiday destinations. Dire.

BBC One really need to turn down the background music to their mistletoe ident.

its such an old joke that one,wonder how long the marketing dept took to think that one up.


not an advert, but just how many Handmade Christmases has Kirsty made - it takes up the entire C4/E4/More4 channels (when big bang isnt on that is)

I think that's one of the better ads at the moment, visually it looks good (agree on the androgynous bit though).

There is something about that young lady that makes me think she is exceedingly naughty.

But in all the right ways.

Oh yes...

Can I add the disquieting ‘On the Beach’ advert? Pairs an uncomfortably lingering shot of a model with a distinctly seedy story about her parents. Yuk. Didn’t make me want to go on holiday with them, that’s for sure...



(Appreciate this picture isn’t helping my argument, as it looks rather nice. Wait till you see the advert)

Worse, it's one of Mr Kipling's exceedingly st cakes; the boy must hate his sister a lot to inflict that upon her.

Yes, the ad’s as nauseating as their crap cakes.

I know others have objected to the daftness of may perfume and/or aftershave ads (take a bow Johnny Depp and your spectacularly inefficient sand shovelling technique), but in addition to the daftness, can I add the tiredness? Many of these ads are years old; please can we have something new?

But when we do, can it please be better than the blonde girl in the black dress singing what sounds like nonsense in a bar? I'm sure at one point she sings "DVD".

[Yertis]

May have been grumbled about before, but any and every ad that begins “At [insert brand], we [insert promise, USP or whatever they want to tell us about]... blah blah blah.”

It seems to be some sort of fashion in adland. It’s lazy writing, devoid of any creativity whatsoever. Are agencies staffed entirely by accountants nowadays?

I can’t remember the last time I saw an ad and thought “that’s clever, I wish I’d done that.”

The bizarre Jean Paul Gaultier ad is polluting out screens again this year

Did somebody say Just Eat!......................... NO.... NO they fking didn't so quit skirling on about it.


Also the WWF advert trying to jump on the Gretta bandwagon featuring a precocious young girl sorting out the worlds problems.

Dolce & Gabbana - an Italian brand having someone singing in Italian...
