    The Dove underarm soap ad with the rabbit-toothed simpleton flashing her pits around has me reaching for the remote in double quick time.

    And she's STILL saying "visit us IN BRANCH" AAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH ! :mad:

    Instead of continually making adverts this 'National Treasure' should get some more acting done. She just swoops in when she thinks there's a role she might get yet another award for and then she's just playing herself/Mrs Overall.

    Ads - they raise the bank balance with so little effort!

    Ah yes. Another 'National Treasure' just sounding smug, collecting the cash and not bothering to do any acting/comedy.

    The dreaded blood in your poo ad is on. I've had to turn over, it's so cringeworthy. I hope the actors were handsomely paid for starring in one of the most embarrasing adverts ever. Embarrassing not because of the subject matter, but because the way the advert is done is so patronising and babyish.

    That.... and the ones with Alexander Armstrong and Amelia Bulmore do for either Insurance or a Building society, they are so annoying I switch off from whatever they are trying to sell me!

    Underarm soap? Are they now flogging soap specifically for your pits now?

    BT - I feel as uncomfortable as the girl does with that perv and the fact he knows her hot spot.

    Dyson - it has a rolly ball thing for those too lazy to divert from walking in a straight line, and it'll cost ya, suckers !

    The gloopy shiny gravy cow. Yuck.

    :mad:No no no no no. Just seen an ad for Lovefilm which had a shitty cover version of 'A Forest' by The Cure sung by some slow bint.

    Just NO.

    I see it's a version by someone called Jess Mills..if you had been talking about the Bat For Lashes version I would have had to disagree :D

    That Pantene advert where Liz Tyler seems to be really crushingly upset about 'what she puts her hair through'

    Then the uplifting music starts as she discovers she can halt the carnage by using Pantene (with extra chemicals)

    At the end, you really feel as though she has been on a journey and can't help but joyously punch the air in celebration of her Shampoo victory.

    :D:D:D

    The Holidays at Home ad makes me want to scream. Brief: Take 3/4 stereotypical locations in the UK, pick similar number smug over-exposed actors who roughly go under the euphimism of national treasure, add a smattering of patronising dialogue and a few props like spring lambs, and you have an ad. tailor made to annoy UK citizens who the thing is aimed at. The only way this ad would work in any sense is if it was targeted at the overseas market. The marketing director should be shot.

    Personally I can't help but shed a tear whenever I see Cheryl Cole conditioning her extensions ;)

    So true :D

    First time I saw this, I thought it must be some heart-wrenching appeal ad. Now I know it's something much sadderer than that. Poor Liv and her long suffering hair. Thank god she's found a lifeline at this difficult time for her hair

    Every single Direct Line advert ever made, ever. Each single one is just a pile of boring hairy bollocks, each more mundane than the last and repeated to the point of inflicting self harm on yourself just to make it stop.

    The Tesco guy rattling off a list of items, I reckon I could punch his face all day long and not get bored.

    Barclays advert voiced by Stephen Murchant mind numbing metaphors and chummy style of voiceover dripping with smugness.

    Churchill with Martin sodding ugliest man alive Clunes and his enormous ears.

    You cloth-eared git, he is saying food. It rhymes with good. And with hood, mood, rood and wood.

    Fud rhymes with dud, mud, bud and cud!

    Just got back from the cinema, I caught the ads at the beginning unfortunately, they played the annoying BT ad when they both arrive at the door for the room, why didn't they just turn around and leave the building?, the ad which goes, you sleep you save, your sick you save, your in hospital you save, you die you save, your buried you save etc I was just about to walk out when it all ended and calm surrounded the room, the lights dimmed and the film began, I took deep breaths, phew! I was just so glad the poo advert wasn't in that lot thank god, think that would have been the final straw...........

    Why do we have to have ads in the cinema anyway? We've bought a ticket to see the film, paid for over-priced confectionary (traditionally the most profitable part of the cinema) - now we have to sit through the same lame stuff we see at home.:mad:

    Thinking about it I pay Sky a not insignificant sub., so why the ads?

    Don't you love the ignorant? They're often good entertainment that's for sure.

    Note to everyone who thinks John Hannah is saying Gud with Fud, he is NOT, he is in fact saying "good with food" but with a Scottish accent. He is speaking the English language. Hope that helps the uneducated to understand better.

    Compare the Meerkat:-

    I'm a big fan of the meerkats but I find the latest one a little bit sad. Poor little Serge has been reduced to a hospital bed all because his master works him far too hard.:cry:

    BT:-
    The creepy 'hotspots' guy is too clean looking to be a real student, eg.,
    1. The hair needs more grease.
    2. Bumfluff stubble required.
    3. Needs ridiculously over-sized headphones around the neck.
    4. Use a Mattel 'My First Goatee Beard' kit.
