    Just saw IKEA new advert.

    Its some kids playing with some people dressed up as Monkeys and animals ect and going crazy then they all sit down at the table and zoom into the mirror and it reveals that the animals are the kids parents but wearing weird outfits making the kids imagine the parents are animals



    You beat me to it, I was just coming on to say about it :mad:

    I don't know if it's the worst but I've just seen an advert for hair transplants with a load of cricketers and I'm crying laughing, not at hair transplants, but at the naffness and terrible music (plus Shane Warne's eyebrows)

    :mad:That lottery ad where their Saturday numbers came up on Wednesday
    why did they use such a horrible looking man for that bit, almost as if they are saying something about people who play the Health Lottery.

    I absolutely loathe that old woman called Betty (Joyce's friend) on the Wonga.com adverts. She's lucky that a half decent bloke like Earl is interested in her in the first place. Stupid old sow.

    Is Betty the blonde bimbo one of the two ? Always get them mixed up.

    There is a new (ish) ad for Febreeze on at the moment where a bunch of "Real people, not actors" are brought into a scruffy looking mens toilet and make out it smells fresh as a daisy.

    Ah this reminds me of an advert that always did my head in. Think it was febreeze, where they put blindfolded people in a men's locker room (why all the men = smelly abuse anyway??) and sprayed febreeze (or whatever tat it was). One woman said "it feels like I'm being hit in the face with flowers" or something. WHO THE BLEEB says such a thing?? What a dozy mare... :mad: I just don't get why, of ALL things you could say, she said that, and worded it like that too. Why. Just, why?

    DFS for sneaking in a shamefully early Christmas advert!:mad: By all means advertise your in-time-for-Christmas delivery, but don't make it a Christmas advert.

    Should be NO Christmas adverts before December 1st in my opinion.

    I was really hoping that was going to be a spoof 'profound' advert for Pot Noodle or something, but no, it was the usual pretentious perfume bollox.

    Although I've made this point before, it's not the nicey-nicey 2.4 kids family out playing I Spy they really have to worry about.. I'd have thought kids playing near the tracks on their own or people out drunk would be more relevant to the dangers of a railway line. :confused:

    .. Whilst it is depressing, it's nowhere near as creepy (read borderline child abuse nightmare inducing and terrifying) as some of the public safety information ads we used to get:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg6IVUvVsAs

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjgeUiNwtEU&feature=related

    ... and that's BEFORE mentioning the Charley Says ones, where if the message didn't give you nightmares, the freaky animation would! :eek:

    Does anyone remember the one with the contest where all the children had to do games like running through a train tunnel and the train would come and kill some of them each time and the parents would come and cover them up, really strange and I still hate going anywhere near train tracks even now!

    What interests me is this "not actors" claim as the last person to appear (the black woman) has a remarkable similarity to one of the characters in The Bill from around 8 - 10 years ago.

    For the life of me, I can't remember the characters name but i do remember she was a PC (she might have even became a sgt) who at one point was suspended after being accused of beating a suspect to death.

    Anyone else spotted this or remember who the character was to allow us to double check?

    Seems a bit of a con if i'm right.

    I think I recognise the character you're referring to. Yvonne Hemmingway?

    That one always reminds me of Roy Chubby Brown, it's one of the lines in his "Last 24 Hours" medley.

    For some reason the ASDA pie advert makes me cringe everytime I see it. Perhaps because some herbert seems to have had a camera stuck in front of him and told to talk about pies for 5 minutes.

    "I love pies."
    "I grew up on pies."
    "I really like pies. Can I go now?"
    "Um, can't think of anything else to say about pies. Do I really have to carry on?"

    Also the really bad haircut makes him look like a pie.

    It's a close second to the sex chat channel ad using a 50 year old to encourage men to phone a premium rate sex line. Am I on the only person who fails to see the hidden attraction of rough 50 year women?
