There is one out at the moment called fridge something or other, that if you were younger than 50, you wouldn't understand it in the slightest with references to Hank Marvin.

"I'm Hank Marvin"is modern slang for"I'm starving".

Well that answers that one although my daughter argues the point that it is Lee Marvin means starving or just Marvin, what's wrong with saying I'm starving

Kids eh?!

[IJoinedInMay]

The Lynx one which advertises some sort of a Him and Her range. I'm just fed up with adverts for "sexy" products in general now. At least the Lynx ones have humour in them, unlike Paco Rabone and the other perfumes. I fail to see how insinuating that some bloke is about to shag a model on a boat would make me want to buy your scent.

I liked the old kleenex puppy adverts, but the new cgi animation ones with the puppy walking on its hind legs and the girl puppy put with a flower in its hair make me sick.

There is something a bit uncanny valley about those cg puppies,I don't like them either.

Gordon's - "Shall we get started?" This ad was on Planet Rock at 9:42 in the MORNING! Surely that is far too early.

[bob up and down]

That horrible radio ad where hundreds of little kids sing about being potty trained...... it's bloody awful.

How many of the yoof of today have a clue who Hank Marvin is?

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

But then this can be said about lots of the tunes used...

How about "Strange Love" for a perfume... yes, a tune about BDSM is fine for smelling nice isnt it.

Badly packed kebab?

I recall a letter in Viz from a rather vexed gentleman regarding the Autoglass advert. He said that he softened the blow of hearing the jingle continuously by singing 'Jism in your hair. Jism in your face' as alternative lyrics.

It made me so angry, I put my foot through the TV and sent Autoglass the bill!

Didn't they use it at some Olympic launch event as well?

I bet Mick Jones has a damn good laugh every time these requests come in.

Who cares about PPI i was missold 10 years ago. It was 10 years ago and if I didnt want it then its my own fault.

[My Sweet Life]

Freederm spot cream sponsors Neighbours. The ad features models from the "Derek Zoolander School For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too" posing in front of the mirror. One of them is a rather posh lad who points at his reflection and says, "You're the man. No, you're the man." Cringeworthy.

Imagine the advert though if it was Lee Marvin; a load of kids singing Wandering Star with grey beards and cowboy hats

This happens many times. The ad exec or whoever hears a catchy tune and maybe heard one word and thinks that'll tie in great with out advert

without actually reading what the full lyrics are or what the song is about.

The BBC did the same about using direct debit or something and the song was about computers talking over the world and nuclear holocaust.

[Big Boy Barry]

The problem with Autoglass is two fold

1- Too much pointless information is given. Yes, we know you repair damaged glass. We don't need fake testimonies about past clients. The ads simply go on way too long.

2- The slogan is blindingly obvious. "Autoglass repair....Autoglass replace". Uh....yeah, of course you do. What else would you do?

[The Alpha Gamer]

Now I agree with you guys with these kiddy girl singers, they've gone too far! Just saw a Nationwide advert with some daft cow very slowing singing Ben E King's Stand By Me!
