    It has to be the 118 118 break bumper things on itv. They just are not funny. They have some old piece film and they try and link it with the two guys. Not one is funny or makes sense. Very poor.

    It is so much worse than the last one! Also what the hell is the guy's name supposed to be?? Gram? They keep saying Gram but that isn't a name?! I have a horrible feeling it is supposed to be the US pronunciation of Graham- another reason to put my foot through the TV when this advert comes on!!!!!>:(

    I think you are right. I heard a man on CSI being called Crag, it turned out
    they were saying Craig.

    The big problem will come in 5 or 10 years when a new generation of trendy 20-somethings come along and think "Hey, out parents use apple so it must be really uncool". The apple of today is so big and blotted that is won't be able to go back to being the make of the best office/productivity products.

    yes because playstation have that problem don't they? after being "cool" for twenty years

    I think it is Graham but I recognised the voiceover in ad - same person that does DAB radio ads (not sure of name - someone help out on that one), I just don't understand what an elephant has to do with this ad let alone it looks like the elephant is his vehicle :confused: and we are told its EPIC FFS get over it with that word that what bugs me more is people are using that word for no real reason - its became more of bad english in my mind! ie I had an EPIC day WTF?>:(

    because "schmidt" sounds a bit like "shit" which ironically is what the advert is.

    118 118 - Why the hell would you even call that? The charges are ridiculous! £1.88 per call + £2.57 PER MINUTE. That's already costing £4.45 for just a SINGLE minute! This service is FREE online so why would you even bother ringing them?

    This thread would be better off named 'Best advert on the TV at the moment'. The majority of adverts are beyond dire. I have noticed that Spotify have some awful ones. Especially the one in which a woman describes what makes a good audio book.

    @s they are!

    Anyone driving and singing as they do on that advert wants a red hot poker shoving up their you know what. They've probably been snorting something illegal - even more reason to do as I've suggested. I'm sure some of these adverts are devised by people with the IQ of a particularly thick chimp.

    Apple ditched the wretched chicken fat advert, and replaced it with one with a brat screaming. Hate that company.

    They have brought back that blooming Seat ad. The music (Fly, high) is stupid, the kid and his dad are stupid, the stupid steering wheel is on the wrong stupid side and most stupid of all is the stupid noise that stupid toy makes.

    Simple test when watching adverts... can you sing along to a tune? Shake'n'vac is still one of the best adverts ever.

    Stale smells from up here.....
