Had an evening channel hoping. I reckon 80% of the ads were ladies 'stuff'! Talk about high maintenance and health issues !! Just what is 'slow digestive transit'?

And they time them so well, "Canestest for Vaginal Infections" I know that's what I think about all the time when I'm eating dinner.

I can't take any more go compare adverts!
Why do they think that overusing the word 'fantastic' is a good thing? When the big idiot was singing I refused to use their web site because of the advert and now I'm back there again. My insurance is due in a couple of months go compare won't be getting my business purely because of this stupid set of adverts.

I listen to the radio whilst at work so am subjected to some awful radio ads.

The latest cringey ones are for Asda featuring James Martin where someone calls James for recipe advice. The callers have (so far) all been women and when James tells them his recipe they practically have an orgasm!! Just waiting for the where James pretends to feed his sausage to the caller!!
One on Talksport this morning.

Bloke rings in to James, all matey, says he is going up Scafell Pike with his son (aged 9) and want's tips on what to eat.

James advises hollowing out a loaf, filling it with leftover chicken, sun dried tomatoes, drizzling with oil and wrapping it in clingfilm before cutting off slices en route.

The caller is delighted and thanks James.

RIGHT.

1. Taking a 9 year old up Scafell Pike. That would take some serious planning and if you need to call someone to ask about a Picnic I'd doubt you have the skills to tackle Englands highest mountain and certainly not on a day out in the lakes with a boy.

2. If somehow you did scale the foothills, sitting there on a windswept escarpment cutting a slice of your salad enriched loaf is not going to happen.

These people must be so dense (the ad. agency) but then I guess the average ASDA shopper is too.

"a loaf, filling it with leftover chicken, sun dried tomatoes, drizzling with oil and wrapping it in clingfilm"

None of which he has to buy from Asda, James should just have said - "pop into your local Asda and grab a couple of Asda's own egg & cress sandwiches off the shelf, they're protected in their own wrapping and perfect for hiking, a few bottles of Asda's bottled water too"

Stacey Solomon / Lookagain

Massive cringe. Awful advert, looks cheap as chips.

As for Stacey Solomon, I'm sorry but she's annoying as fook. Sounds like Kermit the Frog on acid and looks like a horse.

Also, no idea why she's chucking her face around and shrugging her shoulders all the time like some sort of overly twee sweet girl type poses - stop being a knob love!

Same here.James Blunt doesnt seem to mind taking the piss out of himself. I remember him like that when he was the SIARPC on Top Gear

Saw the James Blunt Lotto advert for the first time last night and found it rather amusing. It won't get the same reaction after watching it about 20 times though!!!

It's the fact they go on to mention how many they have sold in Germany. I've lived in Germany, I wouldn't be using them as a selling point for shampoo.

The thing that really pisses me off about alpecin is that they don't actually make any claims!!

Exactly! 'Buy our caffeine shampoo' - why?! What does it actually do?
