    John Bishop's christmas DVD - his best joke (as its the one they show on the advert) is about 50 shades of grey and paint catalogues. Still, i'm sure he'll make a fortune out of it.

    the Olbas ad with the creepy, huge nose family.....Who thought that would be a good idea ?

    Another agreed and I'd love to shove those ideas in a bin with the Lloyds TSB weirdies and the British Gas aliens

    I hate those aliens even more now.
    I just sat in for two solid days waiting for an Argos delivery that was ordered on Tuesday but never came. I called them last night and they said definitely today, it was on the van. Called this evening and the order is still in the warehouse. They had my number too...not even a courtesy call to say it wasn't coming.
    Now I am totally behind on my Crimbo shopping etc and one of the kids isn't getting his main pressie.
    Thanks Argos...fecking aliens, the lot of you.:mad:

    The oak furniture store where granny comes for Chrimbo dinner and they give her a stool or something to sit on and a pathetic Christmas dinner. Then they get a nice oak table and chairs and the Christmas dinner is amazing. I didn't know oak furniture also made Christmas dinners.

    God, that has happened to me a few times. Not with Argos though. It wouldn't be too bad if they told you it wasn't coming, but they tell you it is coming for that day so you wait in and nothing. Terrible :(

    The Dolce and Gabbana one! Can't even watch it. The girl is supposed to be very sophisticated and mature but she, well lets just say she doesn't pull it off at all. :D

    I hate that one too. Sounds like drugged up singers who don't have the effort to sing properly.

    Hehe.

    There's a great song by the Tindersticks (imaginatively titled "Ballad of Tindersticks") which has a line that goes

    "...an exclusive door policy - exclusively for arseholes."

    THE worst advert EVER has to be the stupid, idotic, meaningless and just plain annoying LYNX advert, with the stupid cars crashing and planes setting on fire.

    What the hell does it even mean? I also can't stand the facial expression of all the people on there. If adverts are supposed to make you buy something, this doesn't work to say the least. It has nothing to do with deodorant whatsoever. Perhaps It could be because it's suffocating everyone inhaling it and making all hell break loose but I doubt it.

    Take it off the screens now.

    I can just imagine those stupid, eccentric advertising muppets thinking that this was the best advert since sliced bread. I can safely say that, for me, it has surpassed GOCOMPARE. Yep. Because it is so stupid and unnecessary.

    Also not a big fan of music on the new Chromebook advert.

    Give me nails on a blackboard anyday.

    It's a play on all the 'end of the word in 2012' talk

    Oh, and the pretentious (not as pretentious as LYNX)
    THETRAINLINE advert. Mad.

    Bring back those two clowns and their CHOO CHOO CHOO. That actually got catchy after a while, I used to hear people sing it, annoyingly it may have been.

    There's some ad that comes on where a bloke is saying "cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese" and he sounds like an annoying mosquito. It's so irritating i have to mute it every time it comes on, so I've no idea what it's advertising -

    Also Brad Pitt for Channel No5 - WTF? All I can think of when I see it is how much did they pay him ? It's so cheesy of him to do it :o

    Feels weird saying this but I love the Tesco adverts. They're not sexist like ASDA ("mum" does everything) and they're not telling you how to live your life like Morrison's ("mum" does everything and that's how it should be), they aren't using disgusting baby-voiced covers like sodding everyone else, they aren't using white middle class 2.5 kids type families, and they're using really simple Christmas moments that nearly everyone can relate to e.g. the chaos of having your whole family round, granddad falling asleep in his chair, one of the teenagers being bullied into wearing a party hat etc. etc. I especially like the one with the asian guy excitedly making mince pies because it just doesn't make a big deal out of it. It's not shouting "look at us, we're so PC, love us!" which is totally the opposite of good because that's still saying
    "[asian] men baking is abnormal/odd/breaking news! Aren't we progressive for showing it?!!!" It's just portraying it really matter of factly, and naturally, and I really like it.

    Least favourite advert at the mo is the Morrison's one, because it isn't only sexist, it's hatefully smug and righteous about it.

    I'm sick of annoying celebrities pushing their endorsed products.

    Cheryl Fecking Cole ( who should not be on my tv screen) going on about her shitty cheapo hair dye.

    The absolute worst has to be that immensely crap Scarlett Johansen (sp?) ad. ' I love my lips, I do my own stunts even the lovemaking' etc pass me the SICK bucket please! Her hair looks stupid in the ad, don't these celebs think to themselves 'I sound like a bit of a ponce talking this absolute bollocks', I'd be embarrassed to say the things they say in their ads,especially in the Perfume ads.

    Perfume ads should probably have a thread of their own as there are so many annoying variations of them. I hate that CK one with all those pretentious tossers being 'oh so wacky/wild' jumping about and posing. Too many annoying perfume ads to mention tbh.

    The Merry Christmas Ad that is shown on Sky

    It's not a bad ad but they have Davina McCall & Karl Pilkington 2 celebrities I can not stand
