I came here looking for an answer to this very question!
Maybe they are wearing masks as they are so embarrassed at being in the ad!I have no clue why they are showing the ad on a channel which, according to them, is watched by old people, because surely all you're doing is alienating your target.
And, BBC, if you want people to watch BBC3, then you shouldn't have closed the f
king channel down, you tts.i've posted it here before, but that frikin' Walkers add with Mariah - arggggggggggggggggggggggggg its got to be number 1.
note the close up of the hands on the crips packet pull - no rings, her hands when shown, rings.
and who the f)(* eats crisps like she did. could she not just put aside her celery juice fasting 23:1 diet to eat it once

M&S are using Emma Willis and Paddy McGuinness for their Christmas ads.
Does this mean they are going downmarket?

True! The jumper and the food one are just absolutely awful. Why are they using god awful paddy and Emma Willis, can’t stand either of them. Are they trying to appeal to trash with cash who actually like either of those morons.
It’s a shame as the old M&S adventure in food adverts where some of the best food adverts I’ve ever seen.
Agree. What morons in the Ad Dept. decide that having some crass "celebs" will sell more food. Maybe the tactic is you buy M&S food then vomit at the advert so need to go and buy more!It’s a shame as the old M&S adventure in food adverts where some of the best food adverts I’ve ever seen.

And again, Renault for thinking it was acceptable for a school exchange turning into a lezzer snog fest.
Do you have a link to a video? I'm thinking of, erm, buying a Renault and I need some, er, guidance...

Poor hubby lost his wife and his kid by the look of it, to a no eyebrowed ginger vegan hussy..... probably went into depression and topped himself while listening to a breathy slowed down version of everybody hurts.
On a side note the Renault adverts on the radio are as bad.... Actress doing a Allo Allo impression , terrible attempt at a French accent, especially the way she says "month".... "munce" Grinds my gears something rotten.
Indeed, would be better off buying a bursicle instead ;-)On a side note the Renault adverts on the radio are as bad.... Actress doing a Allo Allo impression , terrible attempt at a French accent, especially the way she says "month".... "munce" Grinds my gears something rotten.

I have to ‘fess up.....I quite like the M&S jumper ad for the choreography...there, I’ve said it
Choreography and the House of Pain choon are fine and perfectly acceptable. However, in the longer of the two adverts I'm puzzled as to the dressing technique used by the dancer in the opening clip. She pushes her head through the neck opening of the jumper - all normal there. But then the camera moves back to show that she had already tucked the jumper into her jeans.
That's a strange way of getting dressed and I'm not sure how it's possible.

Much as I like Trivago girl ,seeing the same ad, .the one at the hotel checkout with the grey haired woman who paid 25 pounds more,twice in the same break ,is annoying.
It wasn't just a one off either ,been at least 4 times it's been doubled up.
Believe me, it's all small change when compared to the average price of a funeral...It wasn't just a one off either ,been at least 4 times it's been doubled up.

Both John Lewis & Sainsbury's are really pushing the full versions of their Christmas ads across loads of ad breaks now to the point it's excessive. If it's not the soundtrack / singing from John Lewis it's the god awful "the true story of Christmas" courtesy of Sainsbury's.
I'm also nominating the Visa advert with the Queen soundtrack resung by various "real" shop vendors - instant mute on that one now especially the extended version. I think it may also have been mentioned by another poster a few pages back, but that's an interesting depiction of a current high street they have there. It seems to be missing the large number of nail bars & gambling establisments.

I presume that they will need to see a death certificate and/or grant of probate first. Why the feck wouldn't they pay out? It's just the sort of casual meaningless drivel that pads out the script and means nothing but maybe hooks a real thicko.
The anger on this thread is palpable. The amount of negativity shocking. Modern adverts are created by people of great talent at the very top of their game.
The disrespect shown to the brilliant Aldi Xmas advert is very distressing to read. If one advert expresses optimism, joyous delight in absurdity and a rollicking great soundtrack it’s this one.
It’s quite clear that despite my ageing I have little in common with the almost fossilised, antiquated and deeply archaic mindsets of some posters. It is time they stopped masturbating furiously to their VHS recordings of the Flake adverts. Time to stop thinking the Hovis Hill advert was the highlight of their youth and move forward.
Life has moved on since Chef’s square shaped soups and a Vesta dinner were considered adventurous.

The Christmas Ads at least are only here for a month or so. Then we move to the more annoying holiday adverts. James Villas etc. Now they are generally crap.
I said this at the start of this thread I think, but many years in I'm still to figure out Johnny Depp, his sausage, why he buries his jewellery in a desert and why he's being stalked by a bison. I'm also unsure what any of this has to do with an overpriced aftershave.

te. In fact all after shave and perfume ads are ridiculous and bizarre in equal measure. I fear I spoke to soon. Jet 2 have started with the awful screechy 'darling hold my hand' and the woman pulling her poor husband around for the entire holiday.
Fairly sure if I spent a week in the med dragging my poor long suffering other half around by the hand he'd tell me where to go.
