Win a night out with Jimmy Savile? I don't think so ! ! !
As a teenager in the 1960s I met the man on two occasions - this was before he had become so famous he thought he could get away with anything. As you can see, I lived to tell the tale.

I mentioned it elsewhere but the latest "equity release" Alan and his partners over at "Age Partnership" can do one
I think it preys on the older viewer myself
As someone mentioned they give themselves a serious sounding name and job description.
In fact ALL the adverts aimed at the elderly. Including my "squeeze" June and her neighbours parsnips trying to shift funeral plans
The other equity release ads fronted by Carol "my arse is tempting isn't it Voirdermann and others
Amazon Alexa for the elderly
Cut price funerals
The whole damn lot of them can go to hell AFAIAC
But a special place reserved for "Alan" and his colleagues

hole and deserves to spend eternity in hell on the receiving end of some red hot pokers, carelessly inserted at regular intervals. As does any Equity Release salesperson.And why are people so bloody delighted at the prospect of the cost of their funeral being covered? Every corpse will be disposed of, it's unhygenic and inconvenient to leave them lying around, and they attract flies.
I just chuckle whenever i see the EE 5G ad featuring the Wembley setup.
Last year, when the BBC were covering the NFL at Wembley, Mark Chapman joked that the reason he, Osi & Jay were all holding notepads rather than a tablet or phone was because the connection speed & wireless was so bad it was quicker to go back to basics

Barclays PIN reminder service advert - so the pillock in the petrol station can't remember his PIN number, but yet somehow can remember his username, password, access code, memorable question info, etc, for his main Barclays account so that he can get sent a reminder for his PIN number 
Edit - also the latest Emirates advert - another one from the "Haribo" style of advertising dubbing a kid with an annoying voice over the adult(s).
I reckon they've successfully ticked every diversity box too when the kid narrates for the extended family

You only need your pin code for the app and the 3 digit number on your card to display it within the app.Edited by AlexRS2782 on Monday 10th June 20:46
Edit: just tried it and all you need is the passcode to enter the app. You then enter the same passcode again and your pin is displayed.

The self-satisfied bunch of onanists in the Trivento 'channel ID' slots either side of the commercial break on (I think) the History Channel.
Couldn't agree more, just the kind of people i would hate to meet.Especially the one that talks about him jumping out of the plane and "the only way was down" well of course it is you moron, unless you have discovered how to defy gravity

Any women's football ad, why the attitude ?
And why is it rammed down our throats followed by screaming sexist hysterics if we say we like men's football but have no interest in women's football ?
Sporting ads in general can be added to that. Agree the womens’ sports ones seem particularly in your face, but why does every ad for a sporting even need to be accompanied by some god awful rap in a typical Ali G accent with the rapper desperate to sound hard. Plus I hate that accent almost as much as Scouse (laak instead of like as a particularly hateful example).And why is it rammed down our throats followed by screaming sexist hysterics if we say we like men's football but have no interest in women's football ?
There was one last year for Voltarol or some ibuprofen gel.

T There's the dog food one - can't remember is it Baker's?! - it's a split screen and you have the kibbles showering down like st on one side and you have a middle aged woman burl round gurning, grinning to the screen - who the fk is that for? Why is half the screen of a dog food advert showing a woman smiling at the viewer? Is it for the dogs watching or for similar middle aged women that this will make you happy thus your dog is happy. Bizarre.

The new Aldi Father's Day advert, narrated by an annoying as fook kid.
"the steak is tasty, thick and yummy, the sort you like inside your tummy
I love you dad, you are so funny, now how about some pocket money?"
If that was my kid, i'd be at risk of orphaning them
Putting them up for adoption would be my vote. I'd also consider a paternity test and if it came out positive my next stop would be at the vasectomy clinic."the steak is tasty, thick and yummy, the sort you like inside your tummy
