Sorry McColl but you appear to have mis-spelt "electrocution"
I had a feeling someone may say that! Yes - perhaps so!

I still don't understand what vocal fry are
I didn't until I looked up 'women using croaky throat nasal voices' ...it actually has a name: vocal fry ...sort of makes sense too - whatever, it's very annoying.
It has me wanting to clear my throat all the time as they croak on!

Just seen the bastard meerkats doing the let it snow bit from Frozen.

Has it come to this now that they have so much money that they can buy the rights to song and animation sequences from Disney?

DISNEY FFS?

I thought it was bad enough the muppets selling out to a bread company, but I didn't think Disney were short of cash.
I saw that ad for the first time and I thought it was cute

All the sofa adverts but especially that simpering SCS idiot who seems to be on every break.
That's the problem in this country, adverts are bad enough but it's the same ones all the time. An American friend said she was surprised watching our TV that it's the same adverts so often.

Here you go Lamin_Ator:

Apparently it's an attempt to replicate the affected, artificial speech patterns of something called Beyonce or Khardashian or something. Or a toad.

Apart from hating their ads this annoys the heck out of me ... grapes and all sorts of food for that dog to eat and the most likely die while they are asleep.

Clear food away so no pets can get to it
Or just have your dog trained not to eat from the table.

But no, that's dangerously close to personal responsibility. Far better to blame an advert for your failings.

The woman who says "Go Argos" couldn't sound any more bored. Who is she?

After the 2006 Farepak scandal, why do people still use these companies? What's wrong with a bank?

webuyanycar.com trying to make a virtue of the fact that their offer will be vastly below market price by "saving your precious time". How?

At a quick glance I misread that as "pooping". Seems appropriate somehow.

Given how often they have ad breaks in America they need more variety than us.

Her voice drives me mad. And every sodding price is nine, nine, ninety, nine, it's a wonder she hasn't got RSI of the tongue!

So, what makes you think that your sister wants or needs to know about this?!

Well, I'd certainly never mention on the internet the time I had a perianal abscess. Might be embarrassing.

The one with the woman in the wheelchair who brags about crushing a bridesmaid's (?) foot with her wheel and leaving with the best man's number and that annoying thing she does with her fingers when she says "guilty" really irritates me.

As if injuring someone is something to be proud of.

I think it's meant to appeal to morons who will praise her "feisty" (i.e. cruel, antisocial, conscience-free to the point of sociopathic) behaviour as a shining example of a strong woman overcoming her blah blah blah ...

Sorry, it's all such a common cliché in the media that I bored myself writing about it.

As ever, imagine the OUTRAGE if it was a man who had cheerfully caused a painful and serious injury to a woman and took joy in the fact, then boasted of getting the chief bridesmaid's number after the fact.

The Freeview ads annoy me. The voiceover guy/script just seems really smug and self-congatulating.

I wondered if she had lost the use of her arms, but no, she handed him the bottle to pour her a glass - odd.

I suspect that the son is under the patio, (best place for him too).

Not sure if it's the worst but it's pretty bad. The stupid man sat on top of a hippo. What advertising genius thought that one up

Be very grateful indeed if you've missed the post watershed one.
