These lines make me cringe as well in the new Tesco ad. What's even worse is when they are in the bedroom putting up curtains and he says: "This was not what I had in mind" and then she says: "We can always do it naked". Brrrrrrr

The 'let's go upstairs to the bedroom' line is obviously to make him think he's got lucky. When we see him putting up the curtains and saying "this is not what I had in mind" that should be the end of the advert as that is the punchline. But no they have to take it one step further with the naked comment. What is the point of that last line?
Totally agree. Also, why on earth are they hanging the curtain rails with the curtains already attached? Makes the job heavier and much more awkward than hanging the curtains when the rails are in place.

Still, without the "son" at least there are only two annoying, moronic tw*ts in the ads now. A pile of "fist pump" ...

Avon advert with stupid peabrained self-obsessed bloggers applying make-up and then feigning surprise when it's revealed to be Avon - especially the one with skin the colour of stained teapot who says, "This goes on extremely easy". It's EASILY, you halfwit.
Quite. And only a halfwit (I love that word, by the way ) would believe there's anything remotely genuine about these "blogger" adverts. I refer you to the hideous Vanish "tip exchange" adverts and rest my case.

I can't believe those girls were picked to represent them, says a lot about the company- they look like they need a shower to be honest, and the one who says "shut up" in the Essex accent is bad for my health

Anyone else feel deeply uncomfortable with a private company raiding what is in effect a war grave to take lost silver, for the purpose of hawking nasty collectable coins? How the hell was that even allowed?

You're right. Doesn't make it any less disgusting.

Don't think I've seen that particular one, but yes I hate that idea. I've seen similar ads where they're all like "get your limited edition commemorative coin now". As if something like that would ever become collectable.

Bonprix.

I think that’s about the third ad I’ve seen in the last few years where a woman seems to only judge her self-worth on how much she is able to turn her exes head.

I was once asked to value a "Collection" of 1oz Silver memorial tokens "The English monarchs", "They must be valuable, there were only 1'000 sets made"
"Yes there were only 1'000 made by THIS company, and another 1'000 by each of another dozen or so companies, then there were all the sets of Prime Ministers, World Rulers, footballers, cricketers, famous steam engines, ships, and sos on and so on" int the 1960-70s there were literally hundreds and hundreds of sets of Silver 1oz tokens, which made them worth no more than the Silver bullion, which of course one could be sure was much less than price for which they had originally sold even given normal inflation, better to have invested the money at a decent rate of interest

Gtech being on every ad break! I've noticed that they've dated the Daily Mail review they keep referencing. Goes all the way back to April 2012. We've put up with this bloody advert for FOUR F***ING YEARS!

And now they've got bikes too!
Tell me about it. What do I hate most about vacuuming? This effing advert that's what!

Ah, I didn't realise you did that.

Yeah it's like the most soulless way of attempting to make something an antique. I mean, I'd want something that had a story behind it, not just something churned out in their 1000's in a factory somewhere, especially one so focused on being 'collectable'. It's like saying you're cool, if you have to say it, you aren't

"poo stains!?" (shouted louder than the rest of the advert, right at the start.)

Always seems to come on when I'm eating.

Weetabix 'On the Go' with that 80's-style 'yuppie' obviously 'drinking' from an empty bottle. 'Breakfast? Too busy sleeping.' If that drink is as foul as the normal Weetabix, he'd gag. So he drops into the boardroom having ingested this rubbish? He wouldn't last two minutes in the real world.

I think the term you may be seeking is 'hipster tw*ts'.

The thing is though the ex obviously doesnt give a shit about her. He has a girlfriend and has moved on but she is obviously trying to make him jealous which he doesnt give a shit about her any way. Christ she must be desperate she cant get a man.

The stroppy kid, "MUMS THERES NO HOT WATER AGAIN!"

Well listen here you disrespectful shit, if you got off your ******* lazy ass and did something instead of sitting there and moaning.

Does your dad or me moan about the cold water?

It's similar to comics when the comic business had eventually been around for several decades and the first issues of certain comics became collector's editions and increased in value.
So then comics started being printed with 'collector'sedition' on their covers, which attracted buyers like flies to dog turds, with many comic buyers buying comics for a couple of quid dreaming that in 40 years or so their comic will earn them a fortune and be worth about £50.

Malteasers advert, as usual man is made to look stupid by allegedly having an affair because you know, only men have affairs obviously, if it was the other way round they'd be up roar.

The chemical-cheese-ooze* in a plastic tub advert, the angels in heaven, one of the girls is about to go out and the other tells her no shagging, WTF you are angels in heaven, you don't do that sort of thing because of the whole angelic not sinning thing and it's just so desperately forced, was there not some other 'script' on the other side of that post-it note?



* Loosely translates as 'love of' 'blue-and-white pottery from a Dutch city' with a typo.
Isn't the one going out on the date meant to be the other one's mother?

Normal Weetabix messes with my gut as it is, so I dread to think what a liquid version would do!
