I don't know what is worse about the PostCode lottery. The idiots that win it or the annoying woman with the stupid facial expressions in red

There isn't a 'worst' Postcode Lottery aspect - EVERYTHING about them is the worst. The adverts are terrible.

Yep that's exactly what I thought. I knew it reminded me of an engine oil advert but couldn't remember the name of it.
The original Castrol GTX ad must be getting on for 30 years old ![]() ![]()

Yes, I think you're right. Though you'd have to be fairly old to appreciate the joke!

Just seen the latest Alpecin "German engineering for your hair" advert.
Seems to be a direct crib of the (decades ago) Castrol GTX motor oil advert ("Liquid engineering for your car"). Right down to the music, and the little stream of liquid running down the can. Anyone else remember? |

I see they've brought that daft Zoopla advert back, the one with the smug git rolling round on the floor pretending to be some sort of house whisperer

I wasn't watching the screen when this first came on, and I thought immediately that they'd revived the old GTX commercials as a sort of retro thing
Haha, me too - I was in the kitchen and could only hear the TV. To this day, the opening of the 2nd movement of Mahler's 7th symphony always reminds me of Castrol GTX.

BGO bingo with that dwarf from Austin Powers seems to be on every ad break at the moment.
Used to like MC Hammer but Argos and this have murdered the song for me. "I'm the boss at BGO dot com come and beat me" in all that terrible bling. |

Why does DFS manage to make every single advert they put out annoying?
I've yet to see one from them then I don't dislike. All furniture ads are the same though, especially Dreams. FGS it's a flipping bed, and they make it out like it's a hyper emotional thing. |

Just saw an Uncle Ben's advert butchering Peter Frampton's "Show Me The Way" with some t**t of a kid singing it!

Don't know if it has already been mentioned, but I am appalled at the malteser ad, what has crushing someone's foot got to do with a chocolate sweet? The advertizing world's gone mad.

Another thing, "Diabetes Lottery" ads have started appearing now. Firstly, that couldn't sound more like a load of diabetics dipping into a hat containing one sugar-heavy thing among non-sugary items, blindfolded, if it tried but also the ad is awful.
It's a voiceover talking while a seperate man and woman are 'dad dancing' for no apparent reason. It's like a 6th form media studies thing. I was going to mention this advert but decided to check and see if anyone else had.Like you i was wtf and was laughing at how bad it is. What does all the stupid dancing have to do with diabetes.

![]() ![]() ![]() I thought a new advert of theirs appeared last night ( that is all we need) it seemed similar to the rest of the dross when it first came on but I didn't wait to find out, I ran away screaming just in case. |

These are my nominations for the most annoying daytime ads of 2016.
- The Gladstone Brookes PPI bully boy - The Money Super Market strutters. - Confused James Cordern driving like a lunatic. Car insurance anybody? - Sun Life's free pen. Apparently shown 372 times a day! - Rrrroyal London's Welshman. - Top Cash Back Irishman on a plastic hippo - Purrrfect Home's cat that needs to be turned in to violin string - Vanquis medieval loans that take 60 seconds. Clocks with second hands came centuries later. - Sixpad smugly advertised by someone who a) already has a six pack and b) a hell of a lot of money - NOW TV streaming for DEAF PEOPLE. - BT's constant sales Dishonourable mention for House of Frazer dancing to a racket and thumping tables. |

He has to use "pay as you use" for his electricity but has a contract with his mobile phone ------ someone has his priority messed up .. Regards |
