Hehe



Oh, silly billy, That takes 4 seconds, but instead, he finds several minutes to go out of his way to a shop, buy the drink, miss his train, etc...

I just make toast in the morning and take it to work with me. The more time I spend at home first thing, the worse the traffic will get, and then exponentially the later I'll be getting home.



I!"

the dominos advert with mouths superimposed on their faces talking gibberish

Yeah. It would make a great "Body horror" film, but not so great an ad.

Also, if I see ONE more ad for the new X-Men film I'm gonna start cheering for
the Sentinels.

Not a bad advert, but I bet Natalia Tena's family are going to be annoyed with her for
doing the " Estrella Damm" promotion.

see Ruth Jones or Joanna Page plugging Tennent's Lager!"

The Hellmans mayo ad. Who spreads mayo onto the bacon and not the bread?

It is a bad advert and the most annoying on telly for my money at the moment. Either because of the presumption that someone might want to watch a feature-length advert for some crap lager, or because of the thought that someone somewhere might be so sad they actually go and do it.

Anyone who actually goes onto their computer to voluntarily watch a really long advert, as if we don't have to suffer through enough of the things to enjoy actual films or sports matches, needs to be isolated from society for their own good.

Plus the fact that the people in it and the hack who directed it are given credits as if they're proper actors and director - "A film by...". They're not. They're doing adverts. They're making ends meet because they've failed to get actual acting roles. They're no more actors than the guy who jingles "♫ Come and have a bounce today ♫ Somerset Beds And Mattresses ♫" on local radio is a pop singer.

"Hack"? Whatever you think of the ad, the guy who directed the ad, Alejandro Amenábar, is a respected director who made the acclaimed films "The Sea Inside", "The Others" and the original version of "Open Your Eyes".

Not sure why he's doing ads though-either he really loves the product, or he
needs money badly.

I hate that one too with that hideous obese girl licking the chocolate strips. Makes me feel sick.

The woman measuring the other woman where she says “DD maybe AA at a push”... Huh? I know the ad is about how smart meters don’t approximate, but it would have made more sense if she’d said “DD, maybe E at a push”, I mean DD is a moderate size, AA is the smallest size (as far as I know), not that I’m an expert on boob sizes or anything… :blush
Plus the marathon one where she expects them to know every individual time

Smart meters will cost £11bn - but you'll be lucky if yours saves you £30...

Blinds2Go with the woman swiveling and snapping her fingers louder than the muffled voice-over.
I saw that yesterday. I heard this horrible noise while I was in another room. Walked back in and saw it was her clicking her fingers. Bloody annoying! Muted!

How they expect to 'tackle' a natural phenomenon, god alone knows.

Saving money for the consumer is not the primary function of smart meters though - it's so the power suppliers can bump up prices as and when they please.

^ As is that one where the guy is killing weeds whilst doing the ordinary British garden pastimes of, erm, swordplay, orchestra-conducting and fake-tanning another guy.

Volkswagen Tiguan, where the bearded dad drops his aloof kid off at school in the very kind of car that marks you out as a tosser right off the bat: Off roader lookalike, lowered suspension, low profile tyres on bling wheels, obligatory vanity plate, and he even has that thudding music booming out of it. The advert is making out that you'll be thought of as cool and therefore more loved by your child when you act as their personal chauffeur in one of these attention whore wagons. But what the rest of us know is that you'll just look like some kind of Madely-esque, desperate bell end.

Tamsin Outhwaite must be hard up...her annoying voice on 2 adverts.

Also, any fast food/chicken adverts seem to feature mainly black people. Bit racist.

Not to mention the energy it will require to manufacture and deliver all these things.

I wonder which particular genius thought that David Mitchell talking to a glass of orange juice was a wonderful idea.

What annoys me at the end of the advert is when he pulls out from where he is parked. He doesn't check his mirrors or look behind him to see if anything is coming. He's an accident waiting to happen!

Well, it might have been funny had it been a "Mitchell and Webb" sketch...

I love that advert. I think it is one of the best adverts on at moment as it is showing not all kids are embarrased by their parents and i also think it is very original and well made

Also why does her look so pleased when the sat-nav gives him the directions for work? Surely he must have known satellite navigation came with the car upon purchase, or is he just that excited to get to work?
