    I can't even remember what the advert is for but there is one with the young diver Tom Daly in it. He starts walking as he is talking flogging the product but he looks most uncomfortable and embarrased.

    Preamble to one of Ronnie Corbett's shaggy dog stories on the Two Ronnies went something like this:-

    "I remember clearly when it was - it was a tuesday and it was the week when there wasn't a sale at DFS..."

    LOL :D

    That really made me laugh :D I agree with you too, utter crap.

    I'm amazed to see only one post about the f**kwits in the Pepsi Max ads with their cringey, dire, look-at-us-we're-so-cool antics. I cannot properly express how much they make my skin crawl and yet I find the ads to be a bit car-crash and I'm mesmerised by them. Astounding that some twerp somewhere thought that moronic frat-boy types would be the most likely to sell the product. Only to other immature morons matey, only to them.

    Oh dear, yes I'm ashamed to admit that I am watching ITV2 :o the red bus bingo really has to take the biscuit for one of the the worst ads around, it features strange people playing instruments that have nothing to do with anything

    He could be the nicest chap in the world but that Nestlé advert makes him out to be someone you desperately want to beat senseless with a cricket bat :eek:

    Other current horrors of the advert world - as already mentioned by others - include the Go Compare singing advert (come to think of it, ANYTHING involving price comparison websites, simples...), and anything to do with grossly overpriced tiny pots of drinking yogurt that make it out to be the cure for all the world's ills. Just try eating less, fatty :D

    As for the Apple ads, well I do like Apple products and not all of the ads are that annoying...BUT I can appreciate why some people could find them to be a bit much. If they just toned down the smugness just a tiny bit they might be even more effective as a consequence.

    I'm sure to stumble upon some of the other aforementioned horrors at some point shortly, but that will do for now :)

    The Confused.com songs before were quite good but the latest one is hideous - and there are lyrics on screen! :eek::mad:

    Shock, horror! the L'Oreal ads for wrinkle creams are fixed, according to BBC radio news they have been air brushing the models, no, who'd have thought it??, I thought they just used 17 year old models without any wrinkles.:rolleyes:

    The memory of those ads doesn't remain in my mind long enough to complain about, and what is it with the dancing(?) at the end, or does drinking Pepsi Cax make you have fits?

    Yes I wonder what people like Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington who were used in the ads for Teint Miracle anti wrinkle cream thought about being digitally enhanced:D:D

    The Go Compare adverts are getting a little boring now. At least with the Meerkats they still try to be creative with them.

    one of my favorite ads of all time was the original Walkers one with Gary Linekar but now they've rehashed it with the girl off of the x factor. The whole point of the first one was that Gary was super nice and was welcomed home as a hero. Not quite the same effect second time round and it just seems soooo lazy!

    Why would advertisers think that we would all go and buy Activia because Martine McCutcheon tells us too, yuk, also if the fat guy says wonga once more I am tempted to put a foot through my tele.
    I hate the "wonga" guy too. And cheeky, chirpy, cockney Martine McCutchen with her mouthful of oversized veneers just reminds me never to buy Activia.

    "Voyage Prive" seems to be another strong contender in the smugness league.

    Just when you thought their ads couldn't get any louder and more annoying.

    and who IS that silly cow, never heard of her, even I knew who Gary Lineker was and I'm not in the least interested in foot-ball, but who the hell is SHE, I suspect that she's just some-one famous for being famous

    Can anyone actually understand what she says when she gets in the helicopter?
