    I like him as well.....it's just the rubbish scripts they give him to work with that are the problem!

    The father and son washing/conditioner advert featuring contrived and unfunny parental joshing including something about being 'fresh out of ideas' to which the youngster answers 'funnneeeee'.....................

    There is something forced,cliched and uncomfortable about the whole thing.

    Bad acting probably the issue.

    Oh yes - definitely not funnnneeee........... but some advertising executive must have thought it was:o

    BT infinity advert when he starts dating that girl he met off the internet. What does she swipe off at the end of it? When he says `But you will have to make changes` and shes goes `I can change` swipes something off.

    Speaking of internet dating,that Match.Com advert with the woman with highlighted hair is gone but another one has replaced her.

    I dont get the Argos alien advert. It just reminded me of that man who was pregnant in rl.

    I dont know if its a advert but its the one promoting Paddy McGuiness and Alesha Dixon`s new show.

    What I dont get is at the end of the ad he says "I just want you to be my girlfriend".
    Er, I thought they had been dating TWO MONTHS? :confused: He must have had some idea :o

    It's a bad advert all over considering the previous ads. Suddenly he has a pretty hot girl falling over him and he's directing & controlling the whole releationship? :confused:

    I see the Wonga OAPs are now CGId. Guess Wonga are doing exceptionally well.

    Not seen the ill informed ADSA 1997 advert for a while. Wonder if too many people noticed the error.

    The current Confused.com advert has been running through my head all day.

    All I have had in my head for the past seven hours is the vacant, dead expression of that robot as it says over and over again, "I've been pleasured!".

    Yes, but surely they're not dissing Leslie Philips - "worst voice on television"?!? Ding dong!

    Brian The Confused.com robot. Dear God, come back, stupid haired, loud shouty singing woman with pointless, huge-boobed sidekick, all is forgiven!

    Confused.com ad execs meeting:
    ''Right, we have a generic advert, it needs a witty tagline, that will make people hold their sides with laughter, without being barrel-scraping and mind numbing''
    ''Let's make the robot say ''I've been pleasured''
    ''Brilliant, that's it! Right, see you all next month''

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    The latest Aviva advert with Paul Whitehouse. Not sure if it's really annoying but it was on endlessly during the cricket on Sunday (virtually every break) so the repetition got tiresome.

    Prat face's girlfriend is now getting even more annoying with every showing on the BT ad.

    "yerrr" you've been a bad boy?" "cool" "ok" "I can change" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr go away both of you.

    just seen an ice cream ad with andy williams most wonderful time of the year playing along with it..is it me or does that song remind you of Christmas

    The Co-Operative. Yep, it is a Christmas song. For anyone who hates the summer with a passion like me, with allergies and humidity it is not the most wonderful time of the year.

    I have had to put up with the radio version of that advert at work all damned afternoon. I am ready to kill the person who thought it up!

    The radio ad where the robot sees some guy on Hampstead Heath with an 'unidentified male companion' and then tells the guy's wife is even more cringe/inappropriate imo.

    Why does the Samsung ad with the guy taking photos and sending them to him mum have to be in Spanish? This is Britain, not Spain!

    Whatever that "Trust us [mums], you're doing great" one is. Can stand these patronising, flattering-to-deceive adverts. Also, anything that addresses the audience as 'Britain' gets my jingo gag-refex going.

    Totally agree about the trust us you're doing great ad.

    In the Travago ad do they sing "1,2,3 have a wank with me" :confused:

    The Samsung ad where he is in a locker room and shares his shite music with his team mates to get them all motivated , it would motivate me to smash up the phones.
