"Andrex wants everyone to feel as clean as a man called David "
Yes, this.

These adverts make no sense whatsoever and yet again the adult (teacher?) is almost in hysterics at what the child says. Repeating it (again) as if it is the funniest thing they have ever heard.

Although my one-woman boycott of Andrex wipes fell at the first hurdle. Refusing to buy any in last weeks online shop, I got the supermarket own brand instead. Only to read that they were not suitable for use with septic tanks. Does anyone know of any others that are? I don't want to bung the system up!

Ooops, typo. Edited as my keys appear to have swapped places again...

Who could stand a minute of James Corden period .
I used to enjoy him in Gavin & Stacey, but it seems that nearly all the actors from that great series are now cashing in on their 'celeb' status and instead of enamouring us with their presence are having the opposite effect!

Seeing some of the ads, some come with a free orgasm
I see what you did there

Cunningly disguised though, well done

Haven't you already said that on this thread? Well somebody did. Word for word n'all.

Anyway back to wanting to be as clean as David. Doesn't anyone think it's sinister? Who is this man called David and how does said kiddie "know" how clean he is, y'know, down there? The teacher shouldn't be laughing, she should be concerned.

As someone who REALLY gets p**sed off with bad speech and grammar etc, I can't stand the advert for the Co-Op where the girls says "We go ow an abow"
It's "ouT anD about" FFS !
If a word has the letter T in it, PRONOUNCE THE LETTER T !!

On a similar note, I saw an advert (can't remember which one) but the man pronounced the word street and shreet. There is no 'h' in street

Every time an advert for a CD comes on I turn to hubby and say 'I don't want that one!' He bought me a dire CD one year for my birthday, and he's never lived it down.
You think that's bad (I'm going into Monty Python mode lol) my mum once gave me a Barry Manilow album for Christmas I was in my 30's at the time and it was a shock to realise my own mother didn't know me at all. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I played it whilst wearing a rictus grin that seized up my facial muscles for a week. As soon as she went home I threw it in the bin. Scarred for life!

Apparently it's the "in" thing to jilt someone at your wedding. It's aspirational

That's getting to be a common affectation; shtreet, shtroke, shtress. I've even heard it on BBC radio when they do the travel news.

Listen to the Sugarbabes' "Stronger", or Shtronger, as they sing.

No, that's not the slightest bit annoying, is it?

"Ah, what a heartwarming example of religious tolerance", thinks absolutely no-one. I think it's for kneepads.

Those of you who are familiar with the Derek and Clive track "Hello Colin" may well have a rude word pop into your head when the Priest pauses at the door having said goodbye to the Imam.

It is a VERY rude word.

I find it somewhat disturbing that this child says he feels as clean as a man called David. Who IS this man called David and how does the child know how clean David is?

As for the advert being "stupid" aren't about 95% of all TV adverts stupid? But I do agree this ad is more stupid than most.

Romancing the 60s, is for about 30 cd,s of 60s love songs, it's one of those terrible night time adverts that go on for about 45 minutes..... The two presenters waffle through the most inane script imaginable, going over the same rubbish with different words and filling with crap lines like "60s love songs could be loving, sad, happy, cool, intense, nice, cute, fluffy, groovy etc. But most of you will never see this unless you're an insomniac who can't find the remote.

To be fair Barry is just one voice (singing in the darkness) and although he claims to write the songs, he didn't.

My mate always had a downer on Des O'Connor (mainly aping the Morecambe & Wise digs at him) and so one year I bought every Des LP I saw at every car boot I went to and ended up giving him a 24-LP set one Christmas. Luckily, he saw the joke.

Awwww, I love a bit of Barry.

I saw the sinister Santa in an advert last night. I have seen him mentioned on here a few times, any by god he is scary. If I saw him shimmying down my chimney on Christmas Eve I would take a baseball bat to him. I have no idea what he is advertising, I was just fixated on his face.

And that's the trouble, it's an affectation, as is the awful vocal fry.

Pile of sit if you ask me.
