    I caught that on E4+1 I have no clue but I see its under Channel 4's "born risky" charade at the moment.

    Just an attempt by Channel 4 to portray themselves as "edgy" and "out there", whilst their output is nothing of the sort.

    The channel may have been "born risky", but they are now quite middle of the road.

    I remember when i was growing up MTV had great stuff on great music and who could forget Most Wanted with Naughty Nympho Nina? ;)

    Or Ray Coakes in Germany threatening neo Nazi skinheads live on TV.

    Graze.com. Rabbit food in a box by post. Whoever invented whistling, ukeleles, stop-motion animation and those that use them to accompany adverts should be gaffa taped and dropped into the mosh pit at a Rammstein gig.

    The advert on BBC1 lately for Nick Grimshaw's Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1! Dreadful!

    Yeah that ad seems like a great reason not to listen to it if those are the "highlights".

    The Phileas Fogg Crisps advert!

    I'm seriously concerned about how much airtime this is getting. It's so cringeworthy and annoying. Thought it would have been offscreen by now, it's truly terrible and embarrassing to see.

    "Did he just say the C word?"

    Crisps isn't the only C word that springs to my mind when watching that annoyance of an advert!:mad:

    What's that holiday ad where the boy comes home from school, drops his bag on the floor, gets told to pick it up or there'll be no holiday, he shouts yippee and runs off leaving the bag where it is!! Just no discipline these days!:D

    I thought that and I agree with you on that .... Channel 4 ain't what it use to be sadly....

    The KFC ad where the dad is asking the kids what they want to do but they are ignoring him & playing on their phones. But when the mum brings the KFC across & asks if they want to go to the cinema they answer. It's just so contrived. Plus I hate ads where it is acceptable for kids to be rude & ignorant. You's think they would be a bit more grateful that their parents are buying them yummy KFC then taking them to the cinema & bowling.

    Add in its not setting a good example to eat healthy and promote easing up on fat and sugar. No instead it says "be lazy and just stuff calories down your gob"

    All the pretentious ones like 'Secret Escapes', 'Hotel Trivago' and 'Voyage Prive' with simpery, whispering or smug characters saying the website/ catchword name repeatedly. Just go away.

    Thats true .... but MTV now is scraping barrels - MTV must be proud of what they have become in less than a decade...

    The new Haribo sweet ad with the conservatively dressed adults sitting in a board room discussing the sweets in the most annoying children's voices ever. >:(
    I have bought Haribo sweets on a few occasions but NEVER AGAIN after seeing that incredibly irritating ad.
    Well done Haribo, you just lost one customer, hope a few more follow!

    ^ I was about to whinge about that commercial myself.

    And I've seen that Jaffa Cakes ad with the Blockbusters music - what's that all about?

    Seen the new Jaffa Cakes ad ... my thoughts exactly - what has Blockbusters got to do with Jaffa Cakes and whats with that puppet thing?? :o


    The new Holiday Inn Express ad .... is that the theme to Charlie Brown dance with Snoopy?

    TSB have now joined their ex-spouse Lloyds in the "aren't we good caring people" smarm by going all Party Political Broadcast on us about keeping money in the local economy and strengthening local communities. It's beyond tedious and sounds like it's come straight out of a speech by a party leader.

    The animation is awful and reminiscent of a 1970s USSR propaganda cartoon.

    All in all, it's not great...

    Oooooooooh, okay, I didn't catch that. I did watch the opening ceremonies but sort of zoned out when they did their national anthem.:D

    It's not a very good rendition, mind :D (say what you like about Russia but the anthem is spiffing!)

    Its basically about the person going all a quiver about their products hence why you see them going all fuzzy over kittens only you find out its chocolate. The ad is a lot better than most shit thats on these day. Trust me i do that myself with chocolate ;)

    Cardboard Jane every day she eats the same.
    Which is ironic since Sunbites look like cardboard (also the packaging & name makes them look misleadingly healthy)

    You should watch wrong turn 5. The woman from the secret escapes ad is the sheriff in that film and she gets it in a very gruesome way.

    I don't know what the hell it's advertising, but at the end, some inbred troll woman shouts "Derek, we're off to Benidorm"

    I have bad news for Colin from the Warners ad who is married to that miserable woman who wants to stay at home.

    She is leading a double life Colin. She has another husband called John and she goes off to Venice "with the girls" while he is away playing golf. On the other hand they both seem to have a lot of medical issues. Get wise Colin and watch the holiday insurance ad.
