Food that nobody else is eating or have they catered for lots more but they've not turned up knowing what they are like from previous adverts

Is Groupon about getting rid of old technology as their advert shows two women fighting over the smallest fattest HDTV I've ever seen

The one from the NHS is already getting on my tits - " are you 65 ? have a little cough ? it could get serious( sotto voce ) " - it could be worse thou they might off asked michael parkinson to front it ! on a unrelated note i heard on the radio he has put a book out about Ali - can the man stoop any lower to milk his tenuous connection ?

Well I'm over 60 and my kids wouldn't dream of giving me that sort of crud! My wish list contains albums by W.A.S.P., Magnum and AC/DC to name but a few. Stop thevstereotyping please. Your mum sounds great btw

Id save myself the trouble of saving either one of these class one *****.

And the current ASDA advert boils my piss.

Indeed. Bring back Geoffrey the giraffe and the ultimate misheard lyric "millions of Geoffreys all under one roof" :

That wasn't the actual lyrics!
What we're they really singing?

Before you buy the Bradley Walsh album, think about how many times you'll play it after Xmas Day, ie. none.


I love how everyone knows what scammers Dixons were with the 'extended warranties' that weren't worth a light, and so they quietly hide their main name and make Currys the more dominant one. I'd never shop there again.



"There's millions", said Geoffrey, "All under one roof"

I've always known that.

Another classic gone now, with 'more than a bargaaaaainnn' and an eye-stabbing close-up of the B&M shop front, clearly from a student of the Cillit Bang school of design which I believe in turn had its roots in the original Radion college before that was closed due to excessive cruelty to fluorescents.

I really hate this years M&S christmas ad.

Is it just me, but shouldn't Father Christams and his wife be old, kindly people. Somehow M&S seem to think that Father Christmas should be some doddery old geezer who is married to a 45 year old 'MILF' type. Just wrong in every single way.


All these extended waranty schemes were option extras and almost everywhere offered them, hell even Amazon offer 'product protection' for certain electrical products.

So why was Dixons worst that Currys/Comet/Amazon/PC World/Tandy ect, unless I'm missing something like the insurance company Dixons used went into administration?

House of Fraser. Doing their best to surpass last year's dire offering.

I always thought it was " 'There's milions', says Geoffrey 'all under one roof' "

Before internet shopping, Dixons (who incorporate Currys, PC World and The Link) were one of the heaviest sellers of extended warranties. One guy later summed it up online when he had to tell the employee not to mention it again or he'd just walk out. It was mentioned again and he walked out without having bought anything. Sale lost.


Why confused? I confirmed a few posts up that's it, and it makes sense.

Not sure whether I'm impressed with the 'Evolution of Stunts' advert.

I forgot what they were selling.

This is what none of the brain-dead coke-addicts that infest Ad-world don't realise; it may be "memorably annoying", but the one thing we don't actually remember is the name of the thing they're advertising.
"The dancing meerkats that burst into flame while singing in twee voices and then James Corden walks in? Yeah, it's, ah, you know, that, er, insurance company".

Our generation invented taking drugs and having loads of guilt-free sex. Think again, ad-tw4t twenty-somethings.

I know, its just that I was replying to lainey and Sadlyallseein with my post who asked what they really singing

I thought it was last years offering, are HoF in trouble because thats exactly what I'm taking from the rehashed Crimbo advert.

As for Mrs Claws at M&S she is no milf just very old mutton tarted up to look like scraggy lamb.

Those truly awful GAME ads with James Buckley (Inbetweeners, Jay)

I know the Amazon Echo has been mentioned on here before, but even with the Black Friday sale knocking it down from £150 to £120, I still thought... but, if I so desired, I could talk to my smartphone for free(!)

I've done similar twice myself, once with PC world, once with Comet. Both times I said "look, if you try to sell me the warranty one more time I am not going to bother, both times they did it anyway, then looked surprised when I got up and walked out

Yep, that is what I always thought they said

So rude! Yet it made me LOL!

I hate that shitty ad too!


Hear hear to this lot. I have several family members over 60, who like Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Ed Sheeran, Paramore, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Avril Lavigne. If someone bought them the album by the ghastly Alexander Armstrong, or Daniel O'Donnell, they would use it as a coaster.


LOL, I think I am the only one on DS who likes Rylan. Corden is OK but I hate the stupid insurance company ad he is on.


I liked him until the Will Young incident. Now I think he is a git.


I hate this too.

As for the PC comment; I agree. I can't help but notice that almost EVERY SINGLE ADVERT has black or mixed race people in it. Despite the fact that roughly 90% of the UK is white.

Obviously to appease the PC brigage.


Agree! Hate Black Friday! Even some of the shops abstained LOL.

ROLL UP ROLL UP! Loads of crap tellies worth nowt, for a fiver less than they are the rest of the year!

This puts me in mind of when me and hubby went to PC WORLD to purchase a new laptop for me when mine got smashed in the summer. (It was 5 years old!) We went to an assistant, and he said 'go sit in the PC assistance area' or words to that effect. And I was like 'umm, can we not just go to a checkout?' And he said 'no, we have a dedicated team for laptops and PC's.'

Long story short, they were hoping to sit us down for 10 minutes, blind us with bullshit, and sell us £200 of crap we don't need, (or that's free on the internet!) along with an extended warranty (when it had 2 years on it anyway!!!) Probably to make up for the laptop being only £275 in the sale!

W@nkers.

Asda asking the dog to signal with its ears how she should wear the reindeer headband. Like there was a question of her wearing it sticking out the front of her head? Nonsense
