    Has anyone seen the Co-Operative Insurance advert where the girl is in the passenger seat with the cab driver? He looks kind of creepy.

    He's not a cab driver, he's the girls dad. At least that's what I assumed.

    I can't the ad where a woman says "I am a ..................................................................wedding florist. It is for business cards and everytime I try to make out what the last word that she says is. It could be "proper", pronounced" proppa" or "pukka". Any way I don't like her.

    Not about a bad advert but just for a change an ad is championing a father.

    It's for McDonald charities.

    The current one for Walkers - this needs a little background: back in 2009, they did a "Do Us a Flavour" promotion to get us to come up with new flavours as they were too lazy to do so themselves. They've done it again in 2014.

    One of the flavours that was made was hot dog flavour - so Gary Lineker is running a stall and asks people to do a blind taste test between an actual hot dog and a hot dog flavoured crisp and asks which one's the crisp. Unless you've done it wrong, it would be easy to tell the difference between the two: hot dogs normally aren't crunchy.

    Whatever the one is where that eminently punchable, smirking tosspot drives an imaginary car in a car park.

    Apple. Can they produce an advert that isn't annoying?


    This time with some awful depressing song.

    The butter advert with the very annoying guy dancing round his kitchen to "Gold" by Spandau Ballet.
    He then turns round to find his kids filming him.

    "Don't put it on YouTube" - SHUT UP!!!

    And the idiot doing the singing voiceover does it out of tune and out of time. Hideous.

    The heinz ketchup advert that shows people squeezing/pouring sauce out of an invisible bottle, riles me right up and the song doesn't help either!

    Is the Dr Beckman washing machine cleaner voice the same as the creepy Legion character from Red Dwarf ? The one who absorbs their minds.
    As that's all I think about when its on.

    Wow now you have mentioned that it has become so obvious, I knew the voice reminded me of something but couldn't remember who/what

    Interestingly i am currently working through my Red Dwarf dvd's and i am onto the series he appears in, I wonder if i would have realised

    Why does she give him a look like she has caught him doing something he shouldn't?

    I can only think it is because he hasn't got his seat belt on, but what has that got to do with the product being advertised?

    Why does the fawning girlfriend say "like peas in a pod" at one point?
    what's she on about?

    I hate that ad ... 'Dad's voice' >:(

    The editing is appalling..... Glitter all over the table, next shot it's all gone and no glitter on the picture :o And they use the 'Princess' word >:(
