Hi Mrs Miggins what are you doing here at the homeless shelter ?
Well Carol Vorderpersonn I followed your advice and chose equity release for my home but being older and gullible I didn’t read the short print so lost everything
Oh sorry to hear about that but I see your still with us. Talking of which have you made plans for your funeral ?
No I haven’t really thought about it.
Well if you take out a Sun life over 50s policy like June did you can plan for your funeral so your relatives won’t have to worry about paying
Is it good value ? I feel I can trust you
Yes of course June paid in about 2000 everything would have been fine but she had a fall stopped acting and couldn’t make any other payments so we kept the money. When she died she had a pauoers funeral and her neighbour planted some parsnips at the graveside

Her name is "Junedad". Don't forget the donkey she was sponsoring.

Probably had this before, but since it's made several re-appearences lately, the one for some low calorie bar where they have a bad version of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", but shoe horn in the phrase, "I've finally found the right snack".

It doesn't work from the perspective that it sounds awful and is quite frankly cringeworthy.
It also doesn't work as i have no idea what the name of the snack is, but then I'm probably not the target audience.

What I don't get is that some advertising person actually came up with something so bad in the first place, then somehow it got approval from what I assume would be a bunch of other advertising people, then made into the ad as it is, and then got approval to actually be shown on TV (and quite a few times) for what must be a significant sum of money?

P & O with Rob Brydon. Love the setting, the music and the whole thing BUT Rob Brydon just doesn't have the right feel and appeal for this type of advert.

All of the food delivery ads. They try to make sitting on your fat arse ordering crap, obesity fueling, food something sexy. Plus, as there is obviously intense competition between Just Eat and Deliveroo, the adverts are on every break. "Did somebody say Just F**K OFF"!!

The annoying Aviva ad about knowing whether or not your door confirms to a certain BS standard is back.

I don’t mind that one, the interviewee is quite funny. I am getting sick to the bloody teeth of the Nationwide ad with the granny wittering on though, are Nationwide on a mission to make their ads ever more boring?

I saw the donkey one a few weeks ago, seemed more like granny there was suffering a bit of dementia and needed to be reigned in on her random spending, I'm sure her family won't be happy to know she's spunking all her money on donkeys.

I am not aware of this advert.
As I am a considerable fan of June and indeed of the actress who plays her with such gusto. I hope one day to meet her and to entertain her for an afternoon of pleasure and discovery.
I feel left out and very disappointed with myself knowing that others have seen my lady in productions I have not

Tw@t and Dec ironically propounding Santander mortgages when they probably paid cash.

The Bold advert where Spandau Ballet's "Gold" is mercilessly mutilated and badly rhymed.

The "passing the baton" Mornings on ITV ad where someone passes a baton to Phillip Schofield without beating him repeatedly with it.

Don’t forget to render Piers Sodding Morgan unconscious with it first.

Junedad isn't donkey adopter, different actress, Janie Wellborne.
