    The Dementia ad with celebs singing I'll get by with a little help from my friends, one looks like the late Bob Hoskins, poor taste to include him.

    You mean famous author Terry Pratchett ?

    The advert for the Postman Pat Movie.
    "In cinemas May Twenty Three"
    What's so hard about saying "May the Twenty Third" ?? or "The Twenty Third of May" ??
    >:(

    A terrible ad for what looks like an equally terrible movie! :(

    That "GoDaddy" advert with that woman walking around with the decapitated talking head in her bag!
    It's horrible and awful!

    Anything featuring a northern accent. If ad agencies are to be believed, most northerners are either comically feckless oafs or dependable, salt-of-the-earth types.

    I think the person in the Dementia ad is not Bob Hoskins but is Ray Winston

    I think it's an Americanism, like nine eleven, rather than saying the eleventh of September.

    I've just experienced the worst ad break ever!...

    First we have the baby-voiced-bint murdering "Just Can't Get Enough" for Sainsbury's.

    That was backed up by effing Cilla Black selling insurance "I loved the sixties!", of course you did, you made a career out of knowing the Beatles whilst having no discernible talent whatsoever! >:(

    & the final nail in the coffin was those chuffing bell-end's talking about their wonderful business cards, Vistaprint must have had auditions for the most annoying voices in the country!

    and breath! :D

    I like that ad. It addressed a very important topic of the day.
    If it gets people talking about the onset of dementia, then I'm all for it.

    Well, this is ENGLAND (or if you like, GREAT BRITAIN / UNITED KINGDOM)
    NOT AMERICA !!

    Too many Americanisms now, 24/7 is another one I hate.

    Why can't they just say "May the third" or "May 3rd" even, instead of "MAY THREE"
    ARGHHHH! >:(
    I love many things about America but this annoys me! >:(:confused:

    Aldi adverts, trying their hardest at humour with every ad, but they haven't managed it yet. They have however managed to disgust me a couple of times.

    Chesney Hawkes and his song have just turned up in an advert for "MyMate Loans".

    Are times really that tough Chesney?.

    I've moaned about this in multiple threads for years now. It doesn't even make sense - I've never known a single American to say "Oh, it's June Twenty Four tomorrow" or the like. It's asinine. The idea is that they're doing it to create buzz phrases like "9/11", which is just disturbing.

    Amigo loans. WTF?
    If a borrower doesn't repay then the guarantor has to.
    So why does the borrower get a loan at 50% APR when the guarantor might as well cut out the middle-man and get it at say 12% :o
