The Aviva ad. where they 'age' a man and a woman, and project what their relative private pensions will be when they retire, in today's money. The 'old boy' will be getting about £160 a week, the 'looking very good for her age' woman's forecast is £500 odd per week!!!!!! (That's more than my husband earns). Of course!!
Why do they need to be aged anyway?

I watched he 3 minute version earlier and I got that impression, useless men , send a woman to do it.

I still haven't seen an advert that holds a candle to Kevin the carrot , I wonder if Aldi will release a toy based on him? look at the panic and the exchanging of large sums of money for Mog the cat last year!
Try this one, it's my absolute favourite this year

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

Saw that one last night , a close second for me

Do Sainsburys think it was a good idea to get Corden singing for 3 and a half minutes on their advert( the song sounds just like that Peter Kay one from a few years ago, over and over and over.......)? having seen most xmas ads I think that it it the worst, oh they have fallen since last year.

Terrible repetitive music spoils it for me, the visuals are great

Predicting the turkeys' futures no doubt - the big question is how many she gets right!
Al of them if she has her ear piece in

ANOTHER rubbish Christmas ad this year - SAINSBURYS! Sung by James Corden it goes on, and on, and on, and on.... By the end though I had realised I don't need to spend a ton of money on needless sh!te at Sainsburys, sooo... thanks for that Sainsburys as I'M obviously the best thing anyone could ever want/need at Christmas!
But like all these long winded ads they will have 3/4 of it cut out by next week.

Almost as bad as the glottal stop. It's like the letter T doesn't exist!

Sainsbury's with James cordon singing , how much did that cost to make yet they put a great ormond street logo on

Can't they just show last years and give the money straight to charity ?

What makes you think they are both males?
The female is lighter brown and does not have such a bright red chest as the male.

Agree with that!

I agree with that too!

I hate all the twisting of English language just to be different. First we had that dreadful AQI, then we got the croaky throat/blocked nose voice, then it was an emphasis on the letter(s) in the middle of a word: bottle, garden, carton, etc. ...and drat it all, we now get the invisible, inaudible 'T'!
First time I heard it (or noticed it) was on an ad ...I think about IT or similar, and a girl said 'Did you know you can pin a Twee' on your Twi''er page'!

I can only hope that teachers don't use any of those dreadful speech 'affectations'!

The M&S ad with Laura Mvula doing her affected, irritating-as-hell stupid pronunciation shtick.

There's currently an ad playing for some recruitment site - Zook, Zoek or something like that.

If you can imagine the shite, amateur adverts the contestants on The Apprentice think up every week then you've got this advert. Utter bollocks.

The Sainsbury's in our local shopping centre is closing down on December 31st after being there for 26 years, part of a cost cutting initiative, so erm.. Merry Christmas!

The Sainsbury ad song is awful. I can't imagine how many people listened to it before it made it onto tv but I find it hard to believe that not one of them realised how bad it was.
