The Maltesers one where the deaf woman tells the "funny" story about her hearing aid. Look, if a dog has eaten it, just buy a new one you daft mare
Agreed, also why does the sound increase for this advert? I know she is dead but does it need to be so loud when there is no dialogue?

I don't know what it's for but there's a bloke with a weedy voice singing a weedy song (yep I know that doesn't narrow it down very much) but he has a really pronounced lisp. Please advertisers, stop being so ruddy PC just for the sake of it. Yeth I know he hath every right to thing what he wanths but ith painful to lithen to,

Up here in Scotland we're being treated to a series of ads for the Scottish Children's Lottery.
Apparently if you play your face will be stuck in a demented Jack Nicholson Joker type grin

It's a marvellous ad - such good acting and must have had an enormous budget.

I suppose out of work actors have to demean themselves for a groat or two.

That is seriously creepy. Yet again, "what were they thinking?"

The window cleaner looks like a serial killer.

I've been having a somewhat crappy day today - until I read that and cheered up quite a bit.

I've just seen the new Talk Talk ad.

You know the one where the little girl is teaching Aunt Julie how to do things on her tablet? Well, I think Aunt Julie is back, showing a bloke (maybe wrong to assumer her partner?) something on the tablet and she starts making this high pitched noise as she tries to hold in her laugh.

My ears!

The M&Ms ad is silly enough, and annoying the hell out of me with it being shown every 5mins, but what annoys me the most is the M&M popping out of the cupboard and announcing, pointlessly "got home early"

(But still loving the Money Supermarket ad. )

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before - I don't think so though. The AO ad where the child has to bake a cake at school tomorrow but - Oh No! The freezer is broken! What on earth to do...! Thank heavens for AO who quick as a flash deliver a freezer, then Mum is shown loading it up with vegetables.
Hooray - all the necessary items for cake baking now in place!

Hold on - what?

I am not familiar with the need for freezers with baking, much less veg - although my mate did make me an amazing courgette cake - I don't think its what I would consider 'the norm'.

Why on earth not choose to show their oven delivery capabilities - they sell ovens - a missed opportunity I feel. It makes me scream at the telly every time...

.britishseniors ad "lifetime pay back"
"I didn't realize that you could pay in more than your cover value" of course you can, how do you think any insurance company make it's profit, out of the people who pay in more than they draw out of course, otherwise they would go bust.
Oh and "No medical checks"? now would YOU insure with a company that insured cars at the same rate whether one had drink driving convictions or not, it means that they charge a rate set for the worst risk, I want an insurance that takes into account my clean record and thus gives me the best rate.
Every time I see that ad I can't help but yell "Of course not - they just want your money!"
There are very very few ads that I can tolerate, let alone like.

Reminds me of the video for "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden.
