Put them in an album or digitise them. Don't leave them in a box. Show some respect.

What the giddy hell is the new fitbit advert with some bloke dancing around in his dressing down and boxers?



Is this supposed to be a Marc Rebillet ripoff? or same bloke?

I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned this one. I'm fairly certain its Marc Rebillet, and he does perform in his dressing gown!

Such a weird advert. My youngest had to tell me it was Marc Rebillet and thats his 'thing' despite being very talented and it's fitbit trying to be trendy. Trouble is I think it's probably too niche and goes over everyones head?

Can I add that the Creditscore advert also really grinds

"I check it every month" and "I wouldn't have been able to fill my house with tat I couldn't afford if it hadn't been..."

The irony with this advert, is that the tag line is 'Listen to your body'.

Well, if you are listening to your body, why do you need a bloody watch to tell you when you are fit???

Fitbit have weird adverts at the moment.

This is the other one I was talking about with a whale trying to return to the sea.

I wonder if its a coincidence that in nearly every shot in that advert she is wearing a shirt which is the same colour as NHS scrubs? Would there be a subliminal message in that?

Also at a time when people are having difficulty feeding their families basic necessities and keeping the power on in the house, the idea that someone would call Deliveroo just to bring them some milk because they were so stupid not to remember to pick it up and are scared of getting wet, I find pretty ridiculous too.

Like if you are so pathetic that you check your credit rating every month then you need hospitalisation!!

I was thinking more along the line of a projection of trust but fair enough.

The Tesco ‘rude’ ads.

Shiitake mushrooms. Its funny because the word looks looks a bit like st.

Geddit? A bit like st!! Teeheehee!

(and several other examples).

Pathetic.

And there’s another one (can’t remember the brand) selling tumble drier sheets (hopefully the first thing that gets omitted from the shopping list, come the big squeeze)

And that’s hilarious too because sheet sounds like st you see? Brilliant !!!

Well done all concerned.

I heard today that the Advertising Standards Agency has had the Tesco ads pulled.

This is one of those annoying ads where they spent so long trying to be trendy and tick the inclusively boxes they forgot what they were selling.

Though at least the Virgin ad which is similar remembered to show the product, this didn't even seem to do that.

You'd think when you were a continously loss making business with declining market share and under pressure from much cheaper commoditised alternatives you'd try a bit harder at the actual selling bit.

Accidentally on purpose...obviously for maximum effect.
(But, it’s the sort of play on words that the Two Ronnies & Benny Hill etc used to do... for a laugh.)

Sunbingo, I think it is, has a bloke behind a frosted shower screen AND his nether regions pixellated out.

If you are so prudish, why do the scene in the first place?

Tampax - Cubicle Confessions. Geordie woman - “you’re not sticking it up far enough” pardon love? - EVERYTIME i see an advert on YouTube now its that - FFS.

I would like to give a special mention to one which doesn’t make me want to smash my tv up - Plusnet - Let’s skip to the good bit, here’s the price and you’ll get a free gift card. A welcome change, especially when you’ve just had the tampax one above for the millionth time

Saw an advert for Centra stores over in Ireland, nope I can't work it out either.
