    The bloke sitting on the train with frogs and rabbits and other animals,? the train isn't British, it looks continental.

    Wiltshire Farm Foods - Will this advert just GO AWAY already! I've probably seen it at least 100 times. GET OFF MY SCREEN NOW! :mad:

    It's nice to know deoderant ads are moving with the times and our increasingly sedentary lifestyles.

    Does this new deoderant protect you during heavy sport? No, but it's great if you want to hold your arms up in the air like a crazy person when sat in the audience, watching a husband/ wife playing who wants to be a millionaire.

    I know what you're thinking. It's a bit of a niche situation for sure, but before this came along, when I was sat in the audience of who wants to be a millionaire watching a relative playing, I had to keep my arms down for fear spreading around the hideous scent of tension.

    Anytime i see a celeb endorsing a product (Brad Pitt, David Tennant etc) I couldn't give a shit about the product they are adverting,

    I just think 'just HOW much did they pay you to do this crap??'

    Speaking of crap, I just noticed the other day that friggin' scrunch or fold Andrex ad is voiced over at the end by the ubiquitous Rob Brydon.

    Is there no advert he won't put his name to?

    He needs to be seen to be doing something hence why the crap Virgin advert, his career has floundered since Who, must really annoy the freck out of him that freeman,tate and smith are becoming known stateside. :D

    Agreed. Not for one minute is it believable that the celebrity does actually buy that product for themselves.
    But it's when the really rich and famous celebrities do the begging on charity adverts, especially after a disaster, that I get really mad.
    Remember the 2004 tsunami and the Beckhams, for example, telling us to put our hands in our pockets? It was insulting. We didn't need celebritites to tell us.

    I can see the services like Virgin or Sky being used by them, but do they have to be so OTT about it. Maybe it's the money they're being paid.

    Agreed that millionaire celebs asking US to dig deep doe's grate, Their ego's must lead them to believe that we will cos they say so!

    I agree about the Wiltshire Farm Foods ad. Ronnie Corbett sounds like he's got a gob full of marbles.

    One that really annoys me - that Virgin Media commercial with the trio of David Tennants all fighting it out to watch three programmes.

    I can't stand the nasally voiced woman on the Available Cars advert who tells you that if you buy a car from Available Cars that among other thing they will clean it and give you two sets of keys before handing it over to you. Wow!

    On the National Accident Helpline ad with the two dog/gingerbread things and the tortuous "I heard it through the grapevine, national accident helpline" song the female dog produces a mobile phone from her bum and hands it to the male dog, weird.

    National Accident compo-line.
    Aargh, another classic song ruined - it should be illegal......
    To add insult to injury (see what I did there) it's one of those of those shabby ads with that work-shy dog shaped like a t**d.

    Why do all phone ads seem to be the same. They have a quirky annoying song and just clips of fingers wiping a screen
