    Waitrose advert
    I can understand garlic and rosemary with lamb, the flavours go very well together but... anchovies? :confused: F*ck off Heston :mad:

    :o I've just got back from Waitrose with my leg of lamb and my tin of anchovies....:o Guess I'll let y'all know how it works!

    Maybe the lady in the ad started off on our own but there are lots of workers in the company now. Good on her for starting a business :)

    The secret Escapes advert with the whispering women. I'm never booking anything secret escapes for how annoying it is.
    There is a new one now and the whispering goes onfor longer. It isn't just annoying, it goes through me and makes me cringe and shudder.

    The other one is the bathroom advert with the girl in the bath going on about how her bathroom is amazing 'I shopped around for inspiration' look at my taps 'ooh lovely and 'I compared all the prices and then went to Victoria Plumb' I don't even know why it/she bugs me so much but it does.[/QUOTE]

    I think it's because she seems to be emotionally attached to her bathroom- the message is we should all be too and...well ..buy same :(

    If they could just swap the situations / locations round they would have a winning formula. Secret Escapes woman in the bath, Victoria Plumb woman locked in a hotel.

    Is this the same actress (Zoey) from Two and a Half Men?

    No - that's Sophie Winkleman.

    Isn't she in a swimming pool in the new one (admittedly, she won't be naked in there, but she won't be far from it)?

    Also, one that annoys me - the commercial for Microsoft's iPad wannabe.

    Excuse me, I've just got to pop out to my favourite caramel shop. :rolleyes:

    Where you in the Hitler Youth by any chance? :D

    Surprised no one has mentioned Halley Belly and her awful shoe collection available on some Daichmen internet portal.

    I've just remembered one that gets me seething for no rational reason. The LV insurance ads. I would rather drive with no insurance than give my money to them to pay for more ads.

    They change them from time to time but every single one brings me out in hives. It may be colour induced mania as they seem to be weirdly coloured and have some duff version of an American doo wap song. Whoever makes this ad, why? Please stop.

    The Malteasers one, where they play about with them rather then eat them....

    I'm surprised they're still using that twee little song by a twee little girl to go with the twee little Cambridge Satchel story on the Chrome ad.

    I wouldn't have thought a track about a girl falling in love with a picture of Elvis, getting caught masterbating to it by her dad and taken away to an asylum quite fits the image Google would want to portray.

    Cracking track though.

    Available Car!

    That stupid woman goes on about the benefits for each car, "including this one", "and this one", "and this one", "BUT NOT THIS ONE", "and this one"

    Why mention the one that isn't included? Stupid advert.

    I'm still in shock that the rather jolly Youngs advert shows a fishermen at the end of the sequence who bares a striking resemblance to Britian most violent and notorious prisoner Charles Bronson.:eek:

    Thankfully the 3Phone 'Dance Pony, Dance' seems to have bombed.
    If ever an advert was aimed at the dumb YouTube, Facebook, Twitter generation, it's this one.
    'But it's gone viral on YouTube! Fifty billion hits!'
    Frankly, to this bunch, a vid. of a dog having a crap would go 'viral'. They've nothing better in their lives.
    And the CGI? Aaaagh!!! They'd have done better filming two blokes in a pantomime horse. Still, that's what you get with a Meeja Studies 'degree'.:rolleyes:

    Not bad for a company set up to pay for her kids school fees, really.

    Bloomin' pricey, though!

    What does it say about me and/or my social status that I would happily save x amount of pounds from not buying a satchel and instead place my items in a carrier bag ("double bagging", if necessary)? :p
