My least favourite ads are the Head & Shoulders ones with Joe Hart.
Before these I had always thought Joe Hart had really terrible hair and could not believe he was chosen as someone with hair wonderful enough to actually advertise hair products.
Bizarre
I wish to nominate the cereal commercial (I can't remember which one off the top of my head) that's a blantant rip-off of the kitchen scene from Jurassic Park.
Another one is the McDonald's 'ebony and ivory', where a young black man from da hood and a middle aged white nerdybloke manage to momentarily forget their innate fear of the the threatening 'other' and share a meaningful glance over a patty of pureed cow carcass. Maybe they'll now work together to build a better future for our children, or something. Thanks, McDonald's.

Talking of Ebony And Ivory-Comapre The Market are using it(sort of)!
I just clicked on the link here, saw`Ebony and Ivory` in your post then the `Compare The Market`ad popped up on tv!!!
I find the McDonald's ad rather sinister especially the look that is exchanged between the young man and the old guy. A sort of" Meet me behind the bike sheds"look but I can't decide who is the instigator.
Possibly when the old guy turns up behind the bike shed with his hopes raised the young man and his mates will mug him, steal his house keys and make off with his valuable record collection.
The co-op using a christmas song for a summer ad is annoying me big time.
Not disagreeing BUT the advert is quite clever, there are a few christmasy things going on if you look for them. There's misteltoe, "snow" angels for a start.
Confused.com - I have to say, I preferred the big-titted cartoon characters to the new robot, and that's saying something. Honestly, I was convinced the cartoonist for those adverts must have a fetish for knockers! :eek::D

:eek: I was just going to point them out. Also a girl in the back ground hanging up some stripy stockings.
Just seen a new advert for 'The Hospital Group', starts with a room downstairs and follows a trail of clothes on the floor, up the stairs to a bedroom, all the time with a woman who's never been fat in her life shouting ''YES! YES! YES!'' (annoying in itself...)...where she's jumping up and down on a bed before sitting down to tell us she's lost so many dress sizes since having a gastric band fitted. Before a voice over comes in with something like ''If you've tried exercise and it hasn't worked for you, why not have a gastric band fitted?''
A daytime TV advert if ever I saw one. Most likely costs 10s of thousands for an unqualified 'surgeon' to perform...before he then flees the country when you complain it's made you fatter:rolleyes:
Anyone watch PICK TV? The "sky sports living for sports" sponsor makes me want to bang my head against a lamppost! Firstly, I just hate those stupid kids that are shouting out random names of sports- "Archery, basketball, rugby, FOOTBALL!!! (HATE the kid who says football, his shrill voice and enthusiasm makes me want to put duct tape on his mouth)
That kid is so annoying. :mad: Perhaps as kharmatic retribution he could get hit in the mouth with a football that knocks all his teeth out so he can't shout anymore.
Haven't read the whole thread so don't know if this has been mentioned... That stupid Randoms ad with the man dressed as a parrot. It really is awful and not funny in the slightest.
...and reduces to a big fat zero any chance of us ever buying Randoms.
The ads for 'No-No' (hair removal thing) and that other magic floor cleaning wand thing. Can't remember what it's called, but all I seem to hear on the ad for it is some woman saying: "It's so Versatill' (as opposed to 'versatile')....aaarrgghhhhh!
Both those ads running times seem to last for about 10 minutes each. Awful!

They are a bunch of muppets they should swap with wonga...
...you'd have to be from another planet to get wonga but argos are a bunch of muppets.
*(wouldn't give me a refund on a faulty product didn't know the sales of goods act, told them my rights, got banned from the shop!)
Has the snooker started
Something about the snooker being on I think
Crunchy nut

I've just seen this too! I loved the meerkats before and I'm a fan of Robert Webb but I don't like them together!

Deary me.
Especially as the kid looks about 7 so his parents would have been getting a mortgage in the mid-'00s. Anyone could get a mortgage then!

She has been on a few programmes talking about having one done.
