Do not commercialise people paying respects for the military fallen.

And they perpetuate the current fad for taking a good song and murdering it by covering it in some reedy a capella version.

At first sight, I thought that the V.I. Poo advert was a spoof.

I saw the ad again and it's not.

Stupid name for a product that I won't buy.

Just saw this advert for the first time...Oh dear, it literally stinks.

Can't remember the last time I saw an advert that wasn't for a charity!

Perhaps if you spent less on advertising, the children would be drinking clean water.

I don't mind charities, I just don't need to see it every 10 minutes.

Getting Bill Nighy to over-emphasise every other word on the Oxfam adverts is very annoying.

As is the person suggesting a packet of crisps only costs £2 on the cancer advert.

There's a blinds company on at the moment. The (strangley milfy) woman walks back n forth clicking her fingers whilst the background changes to different versions of blinds.

If it was just once or twice, fair enough but she goes through about 8 variants! click, click click click click click click


I suspect it's because I hate people who click their fingers!

Top stalking.

Any idea who the wee blondie with the bun is in the Johnstone's Paint advert?


I'm also going to nominate a Johnstone's Paint advert; it's the one where the the guy serving is having a bit of banter with the baldy black guy in overalls, I cannot figure out what the guy in overalls says to try and trip up the guy serving.

It's been a while since i have seen that advert, but i think he says something along the lines of " and a tea with two "

Yes, sounds like something similar to me also. Maybe it's a regional thing, I fail to see the humour in the supposed quip/punchline. I get the jist that he's reeling off a list and chucking something in. It's not fork handles though.

[Escort3500]

The current Bristol Street Motors one with people giving their cars names...."The Beast"...."Sybil"...."Jenny"........FFS

[Bluedot]

The new Nescafe one with smug mummy pointing at a picture one of her kids drew of her 'new tennis trainer', then showing her husband carrying flowers, cue lots of smug sniggering.
Where the actual fk do they get these ideas from ?

During The Last Leg last night there were 2 reasonable nominations for this thread.

The first was a sickly / saccharine one courtesy of Lukozade featuring Anthony Joshua saying that without his mum / family & evidently Lukozade he wouldn't be where he is today.

The second was some weird st with a woman evidently doing a dive bomb into a swimming pool, but before doing so she ends up going into space & doing various other things before hitting the water, all to advertise some contract free mobile network called Giff Gaff.

Walkers advertising their new "Pay Day" competition using Ante Up for the backing music with a supposedly suburban housewife pretending to be some form of high roller south coast gangster.

[Antony Moxey]

Those with that smug sounding inventor advertising an electric bike, a lawn mower and a vacuum. What is it with these tossers' egos that makes them think because they've thought of a 'new' product they're the perfect ones to appear in the adverts for them?

And crucially, this "What's your's called?" themed advert was done to death years ago, with Vauxhall and Griff Rhys Jones IIRC.

[funkyrobot]

Have we had Bradley Wiggins and Skoda yet?

[Yipper]

No doubt been posted before, but:

Nationwide "kneesup and a brew" = desperate cringefest.
Suzuki "Ant and Dec surprise" = advert for morons.
