    The Weight Watchers one. If you think it's not a diet you're either stupid, deluded or don't understand what a diet is. If you think the Pro Points plan is a game you're either stupid, deluded or don't understand what a game is.

    Saw one last night for Advanced Hair Studio with a bunch of cricketers. It was more than an infomercial than an ad. It went on for ages.

    I noticed that one too :eek: And they flashed "This is an advertisement" every so often like we didnt know. Apart from Shane Warne, there was some other smug tw*t who put his success to winning a bachelor competition down to Adanced Hair Studio :confused::eek:

    And is it me or are the actors really not managing to conceal their awkwardness and embarrasment when talking about it in the ad?

    I don't understand why they're saying poo and not faeces or something, I'd be more embarrassed having to say a childish word like Poo to be honest.

    The BUPA one with the 83-year-old. He mentions his war medals, as he was born in 1928/29 he would only be 17 (max) when the war ended.
    So unless he got Home Guard medals I don't know how he won them?

    Not all old people served in the war nowadays!:)

    This was covered already, he was in a different war (NOT WW1 or WW2).. His story is on the BUPA website.

    Exactly. It's not the subject that's the problem, it's the way the powers that be have chosen to present it - as if addressing exceptionally slow-witted five-year-olds.

    I don't know why most adverts are so patronising. It's just as annoying as how most adverts feel the need to SHOUT at you, which I class as bullying tactics.

    Just saw another O2 advert with another version of that "Little Boxes" song being croaked out by some guy this time as the squeaky voiced woman from the first ad drives by a cinema.
    So bloody fecking annoying!

    The funny as toothache Lenny Henry Premier Inn ads are total pants.
    In the latest one he says that they can guarantee you a good night's sleep.
    No one can "guarantee" you a good night's sleep...stop lying Henry!

    Niquitin. The Red mist comes down every time for me.

    His mate asks him to come outside for a cigarette and seems to speak perfect English, although the lip synch seems a little off. At least the lips match the voice. Then his fat mate says 'Nah.' Then his lips say something in swahili while his voice seems totally dubbed on.

    Very strange, as they both look English and it looks like an English pub, not a chic cafe in France.

    The mini band start on the table and then the nauseating 'Woooooo' at the end. His eyes roll back in his head like he's having a fit.

    Very weird.....

    The Asian woman on the SCS adverts is so bad she's good.

    A new one "Mmm takeaway pizza", she really is dreadful, I love her.

    Simon Cowell looks like a dwarf, and how much botox and fillers have they had.
    The ad that makes me want to throw things at the telly is the ScotRail ad. That guys voice is so annoying, grrr.

    The bowel cancer "blood in your poo" advert is disgusting. Surely the powers that be can raise awareness of this illness without being so overly graphic? Ridiculous!!!

    A side issue - who is the actor at the end? I thought it was Alexander Armstrong but now I don't think so, he just looks a lot like him. But that reminds me - I hate all AA's insurance ads, where he's being all kinds of a git.

    Trivago Advert.
    not sure what they are trying to say when a bloke gets a deal from them who clearly is a danger to the public.

    Him leering after the woman is bad enough without him then polluting the pool.
