I'm getting annoyed at the Hellman's mayonnaise advert, where a full large jar is shown being used up within what appears to be a single lunch.

The ONLY way to use that much mayo in a single meal would be at the mayonnaise appreciation society's Christmas party. But then they would probably just leave in protest at being served shop bought mayo direct from the jar.

I really can't stand the simpering voice on the Currys/PC World adverts. Its not the only ad she does but at least one can often fast forward. Perhaps she is somebody famous.....

The Branson pickle advert, where the token gormless Dad is shown doing various things badly, but in the end we learn that while he can't do much right but can manage to make a cheese sandwich.
Awww, I like that advert. I like how the Christmas lights fall down at the end. Perhaps I can relate !!

The ad for some "party" food where the woman tries to get rid of the boring bloke nattering on about bins. He looks as if he belongs in a Little Britain sketch.
I think that's a Tesco ad too !!!

The flippin' Tesco ad (again!), where she's worrying if she's cooked the turkey properly, and he's worrying that he's sharpening the carving knife properly! How old are they? How many Christmas dinners have they hosted? I know what I'd like to do with that knife!
Exactly!
And if she was so bloody worried that it might not be fully cooked, why is there "no way" she can cut a leg off to check? Just cut it off, check and sit the leg back up again ffs!
Apart from that, how many people that are going to cook a large turkey, or any poultry for that matter, haven't heard of piercing the thickest part and seeing if the juices run clear?
Silly, annoying tosh of an advert.
The there is the idiot worring about sharpening the carving knife....what can you say?

It's a sponsor thing - but.... and don't shout it too loudly, but on The Chase, Lloyds Pharmacy seem to have retired those screaming haridans who guffaw like they're about to wee in their knickers. God knows what they're laughing at but I can't rush for the mute quicker than you can sing "Ga-la-la-la!"

Extended warranty, sir?

That I don't get as it looks like there are three OAPs, those two mid-late fifties, three mid-late twenties with two young kids, and then a black kid in his mid-late teens.

The entire Tesco Campaign seems so off track.
I'm guessing 2017 they will start something new. They Must be getting paid a bloody fortune to carry on with it.

Two trailers annoying me on Channel 4 at the moment- Paddington Bear and We're going on a Bear Hunt. AAARRGH

I hope they find a big grizzly in that cave and there's no way out. Happy Christmas kids!

I'm so fed up with the ITV trailer for Maigret that I don't want to see the actual programme any more! And there's another 18 days of it!

Iceland's 'Claus Family'...whichever advertising exec came up with this needs pelting with rotten mince pies.

That the one with Geordie Santa?

I've seen it about six times and is getting right under my skin - too long - and the dialogue is cringeworthy. Used to like the Geordie accent

Can I just say to all the hipster oldies on here ("I'm 108 and listen to Carcass!") that Daniel O'Donnell and his usual Christmas CD buddies aren't trying to sell their new CD's to you. It's aimed at the fans of that type of dirge. Lord knows where they come from but they're out there in sufficient numbers I suppose. Then there's always the Guilty Pleasure listener. Don't forget them! So hipster oldie, you're not going to find it in your stocking (unless someone is giving it to you for a laugh). So, enough with the faux outrage if you please.
It's real outrage not only at the advertisers but also people in general ( including some DS posters) who assume that EVERYONE over 60 likes all that carp.

Continues to be the saddest thread on any forum.
Well stay out of it then, and or bore off. I haven't been on here in just over a week but this has to be one of the funniest threads on DS. Keep the laughter going people!
