    if often wonder what some of the advertisers are on when they come up with this stuff

    Your 'So' Money supermarket - snoop dog and a guy that looks like a paedo is really going to make me go to what is in effect a specialised internet search engine.

    any advert with small print - current favourite is one of the car ad's going on about 148mpg until you read the small print when it mentions a rolling road and lab conditions so not exactly real then is it?

    any advert with Nicole Sherzeawhatsit, is it yoghurt or shampoo or what that she is orgasmically recommending i forget.

    football advert, it doesn't matter how many stars you put in them they are all crap and really badly put together including the one in the warehouse with the headers, a couple of unnatural bounces in there where you notice the edits!!

    and my all time worst hates PRETENTIOUS PERFUME ADVERTS, all of them should be banned, the worst of which is the one were bloke won't answer the question, jesus that one is so bad.

    and even though i notice them and talk about them, not one has driven me to buy the product which isnt that what advertising is all about?

    IMO this originates from way back in the 70's with programmes such as Esther Rantzen's "That's Life" (showing my age! LOL). I will never forget an item which featured a brain-dead couple whose little girl drank some disinfectant and they didn't know what to do about it (i.e. whether or not to take her to A&E) because there was no warning on the bottle to say it shouldn't be swallowed!! DUH!!! So it was the manufacturer's fault foolishly assuming that their customers possessed a modicum of common sense. Where's that rolleyes smiley when you need it?

    Finally saw the Graham Taylor Aldi advert and fell about laughing. It's so bad it's funny :D

    Who is the knobber in the xbox 1 advert? :confused:

    I can just about cope with all the other rubbish until right at the end he say "yo" but somehow manages to make it into a multi syllable drawling noise with an artificially deep voice... its like the director has said, "Now Love, I want to sound deep and manly when you answer the phone!"...."yoooooooooooooowwww".... "Oh! that was lovely, quite sent shivers down my spine you naughty boy!" ;-)

    American Daredevils advert.

    Is this the most stupidest show ever made?

    You see a bus flying through the air crashing into a bunch of stacked up cars then see a driver strapped to a stretcher with a neck brace on.

    Who on earth comissioned this show. Suprised health and safety didnt intervene.

    Xbox advert.

    If you havent got time to play games why did you bloody buy one!!!!

    So you want to play games while watching your favourite programmes?

    Stop patronising people Microsoft. People will watch their favourite shows first and then play games! DUH!

    Ahem, I don't.
    I'll play and have picture in picture on. Especially when there's a rugby league match or now with the world cup

    It was a toss up (ahem) between "knobber" and "knobjockey" feel free to use either.

    Do you know who he is? He seems to think I should know him from some big role :confused:

    Another pretentious and irritating advert from Apple, with a song about chicken fat or something.

    Also, the Enterprise advert makes no sense. The American says "Aluminum", the Brit then says "Aluminium"...after the American disagrees, the Brit says "It's got a u in it". Both have the same number of u's!
