The latest Halifax one and particularly the woman customer service assistant who speaks first. It's on every ad break! If I hear "This year has been very strange, you may be comfortable going outside' in her home counties drawl again, then help me!

Annoying bd ‘making an Asda ad’ and doing the ‘pocket tap’.
Worst advert I’ve seen for a while.

Low budget production at its ‘best’.
He looks like a cut price Stephen Mangan.
Stephen Mangan's heroin-addict brother.

I still can't make out exactly what he says at the end when he does the packet tap. And why exactly does he have to say pocket tap when he's doing the action for it? Totally bizarre.
I would have love to have been in the meeting that cast the ad.
Love to see how he gets his 8 bags of shopping home when he cycled to Asda .,.

Another nomination for the Asda ad. One of the worst ads I’ve seen.

Not just me then. I struggle to work out what he's actually saying at that point where the screen splits in for

Is he the same bloke that plays the moron in Benidorm?

Surely he is the Ghost's brother who teaches Patrick swayze to move stuff?

A fragrance advert for a perfume called Perfect, wonder how long it took them to think of this one..... Get a group of "ugly" models (ticking most of the usual boxes) interspersed with a few hotties and have them all state they are "perfect".

Asda!

With he weird looking Dad and the weird looking child making their own cringefest of an advert!

Saw this earlier, another to add to the list of WTF were they thinking hehe
I think they held auditions to find the smartest customer Asda has.
And the best they could come up with is a stupid haired wob eyed tt. Telling.

I'm sure he does the "pocket tap" 4 times but says "do the pocket tap 5 times"

New Santander advert with that eminently slappable* pair of s Ant and Dec.

* honestly; I'd happily slap either one of them until my arm dropped off. I'd then have the other arm to do the other one.
Have you seen the 1986 film 'Stand By Me'?

If you haven't there's a scene where the 'bad guys' are driving along a road in the US and hitting mail boxes with a baseball bat...

I'm thinking Ant & Dec having their feet cemented into a builders bucket and using them as human Weebles thumbup

Its the "what are the values of the bank of ant n dec then?" line that gets me.

Presumably to encourage drink driving!

Do these companies not realise how detested some "celebs" are??


Case in point.

Alan Partridge advertising Audible! Coogan is a prize so why would I buy anything he's associated with???

AND another thing! biggrin

Virgin Media have a same sex couple in their ad. Now I could care less that same sex couples exist. I tend to judge people on what they do, rather than who they're shagging.

BUT this is just virgin media trying to "prove" how woke they are. And it gripes! Though I notice it's always girl girl. Rarely Guy Guy.

I saw a while back some train company had painted their train in a rainbow and it was going to be only staffed by lgbt staff. One of the comments underneath it pointed out the absurdity. A guy was saying that as a Gay bloke, he cared very little about what the paint scheme was on the thing so much as it arriving on time! He said that 99.99% of the lgbt don't need to be pandered to and patronised!

I love Asda though. I feel like a male model when I go in there. With my combed hair, clean clothes and full set of teeth biggrin

It's for his Partridge podcast/audio book, I bought it because I think Partridge is a work of genius and I believe a lot of others will have similar opinions, so .................... Stop doing Coogan wrong! ( a quote that you probably wont get biggrin )
Anyway each to their own, we cant all like the same things.

I can't stand him either but he has milked Alan Partridge mercilessly, for every penny. Just as well given it was his only successful character.
In everything else, he just plays Steve Coogan.

Reminded me of a laminated sign on the wall behind the bar in some redneck joint in West Virginia or maybe Kentucky, DRESS CODE, FOUR TOOTH MINIMUM.

Asda - One must prioritize here. Firstly, I'd smack that annoying git in the gob and then "wanna smash my TV set up".

Annoying Asda man is back with his family in a slightly less irritating advert.

The ad agency must have read the comments on here based on this sequel.
